This document provides an overview of pop art and key pop artists Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Lichtenstein. It discusses their backgrounds and notable works. Additionally, it defines concepts in geometry related to pop art such as reflection, rotation, and translation. Finally, it provides instructions for creating one's own pop art by taking selfies, editing the photos using different geometric transformations, and assembling them into a collage.

3. Pop Art is a style of art which explores the everyday imagery that is so much a part of
contemporary consumer culture. Common sources of imagery include advertisements,
consumer product packaging, celebrity photographs, and comic strips (Art cyclopedia, n.d.).
Leading Pop artists include Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Lichtenstein.

City on October 27,1923.
• Lichtenstein was an
American pop artist best
known for his boldly-
colored parodies of comic
strips and advertisements
(A&E Television Network,
2014).
• He began his first art
paintings using cartoon
images and techniques
derived from the
appearance of commercial
painting (Burgan, 2009).
• The DreamWorks Record
logo was his last completed
project. (Burgan, 2009).

Irregular and Regular Polygon

11. What is Reflection?
 Reflection is a rigid motion,
meaning an object changes its
position but not its size or
shape.
 In a reflection, you create a
mirror image of the object.
There is a particular line that
acts like the mirror.
 In reflection, the object
changes its orientation (top
and bottom, left and right).
Depending on the location of
the mirror line, the object may
also change location
(Annenberg Foundation,
2014).

12. What is Rotation?
 Rotation is a rigid motion,
meaning an object changes its
position but not its size or
shape.
 In a rotation, an object is
turned about a "center" point,
through a particular angle.
(Note that the "center" of
rotation is not necessarily the
"center" of the object or even a
point on the object.)
 In a rotation, the object
changes its orientation (top and
bottom). Depending on the
location of the center of
rotation, the object may also
change location (Annenberg
Foundation, 2014).

13.  Translation is a rigid
motion, meaning an object
changes its position but not
its size or shape.
 In a translation, an object is
moved in a given direction for
a particular distance.
 A translation is therefore
usually described by a vector,
pointing in the direction of
movement and with the
appropriate length.
 In translation, the object
changes its location, but not
its orientation (top and
bottom, left and right)..
(Annenberg Foundation,
2014).
What is Translation?

14. What is a Selfie?
A photograph that one has taken of
oneself, typically one is taken with a
Smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a
social media website (Oxford University
Press, 2014)

15. What is the differences between regular and irregular
polygon?
If all angles are equal and all sides are equal, then it is regular, otherwise it is irregular

16. Lets make our own Pop Art!

17. Make your own Pop Art
 Step one: Take a selfie of one or more individuals
with a digital camera or smart phone.

18. Make your own Pop Art
 Step 2: Upload the selfie to a computer. Open the
file with paint. Then resize the image by 50% or
25% then press okay on the tool bar.

19. Make your own Pop Art
 Step 3: Rotate the image “flip vertical” and/or “flip horizontal.”
 Step 4: Right click “control A”(select all) on each image then “control V” to
paste the image on Word Document. Then align all the selfies and make sure
there is no gaps or space in between.

20. Make your own Pop Art
Step 5: In word
document, right
click on the
screen then
choose “format
picture.” Adjust
the picture color
by clicking
“recolor” and then
select your color
choice.

21. Here is your Pop Art

22. Relations to Geometry
Pop Art with Reflection, Rotation, Translation

23. Reflection
 Create a
mirror
image of
the object.
There is a
particular
line that
acts like
the mirror.

24. Rotation
The object is
turned about a
"center" point,
through a
particular
angle.

25. Translation
Moving ...... without
rotating, resizing or
anything else, just
moving.
