Assignment #5: Pop/Lowbrow Culture

Due April 30


You are to make a painting about consumer culture that prominently uses Branding imagery.  That means that the logos and color combinations that we see in corporate branding will figure prominently in your composition. This could mean a variety of approaches to making paintings.  Your painting may be realistic or somewhat abstract, using believable illusionistic space or flat pictorial space.  Below are some examples of artists using brand/consumer culture imagery.
There are many more ways to handle branded and consumer culture imagery than the examples below.  These are just some of the ways that artists have dealt with such imagery over the last several decades.  Find a way that make sense to you using imagery and approaches to painting that you understand and are interested in.

Douke. Heinz

Zoey Frank. Orange Glo

Kaws. Simpsons

Lichtenstein. Look Mickey


Warhol. Campbell’s Soup Cans


Sachs. 3M Tape Dispenser
