SUMMER 2026: POP-ART!
ARS is offering a 3-day workshop and a full week of Summer Arts Camp for Teenagers (10-15) exploring PopArt from the 1950s-60s.
Advertising, comic strips, and consumer products; blurring the lines between high art and commercial culture. This art form serves as dialogue or commentary for contemporary expression. It elevates and transforms mundane objects to fine art with a tone of wit as opposed to “serious” art.
Printmaking, mixed-media, highlighting Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Rauschenberg. Use of playful technique, repetition and social critique are key characteristics of Pop-Art. Bold, striking imagery, embracing replication, mirroring society and ironic humor.
