Pop Art was an art movement that began in 1950s and 1960s, and is known for its use of imagery from popular culture. It was a rebellion against elite art and one of the first art movements to blur the divide between commercial and fine arts. It is charecterized by bold, simple and everyday imagery and the artists use vibrant block colors. We are painting American painter Andy Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Cans" 1962
