Pop Art Portraits are hip art forms especially for your loved ones. Your friends will indeed be impressed by the unusual gift of a pop art portrait. A pop art portrait gift will be treasured by your friends for many years to come. Giving gifts today no longer requires you to spend lots of money. All you need to have is just creativity and you will go a long way.
Pop art became an art movement of the 20th century. Pop art is basically the isolation of a visual representation of modern commodities. The artist would add up his expression to jazz up and give the picture a different meaning. Marilyn Monroe for instance (the visual commodity) is transformed into pop art. The artist would then use various colours or design to improve the background.
Even if your friend is not a visual representation of modern commodities, you can jazz his picture up and turn it into an art form following the pop art style. Simply choose a soft copy of a picture with him in it, and then use a graphics software in outlining his facial features.
Go over the dominant features to bring out detail. For nose, tracing the nostrils will be enough. For the eyes, the iris is the most important. Once the outlines are traced, colour and detail are slowly added to complete the portrait.
Manipulate the portrait by changing the background. You can also transfer faces onto celebrity bodies for a lighter, funnier style of pop art. For a lively feel, you can color the portrait with pastel shades. Putting earth colors would add a warm feeling. By choosing black and white you will gain that classic look.
You can also use family photos for your portraits. Simply use the faces of family to get an instant classic gift.
For a more impressive result, turn your pop art portraits into canvas prints. Cost can be controlled by simply choosing canvas dimensions within your budget. You can ask the canvas to be stretched, gallery-wrapped or framed. Loved ones can be remembered forever in a modern format.
Canvas print utilizes modern technology which enables to print full colored pictures and pop art portraits up to 60 inch of cotton canvas. Only a few days is all that is required to produce your artwork. Canvas prints are made easier with the advancement of todays large format printers.
Pop art can also be used in marketing or advertising campaigns and not just as a gift. The uses are limitless and you will see that making them is plain cool and simple.
