1. Pop Art Collages Hamilton’s most famous piece ‘Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?’ demonstrates his use of magazine clippings to create an entirely unique artistic impression. In this piece, Hamilton uses clippings of a body builder and a burlesque model to represent the occupants of the home. The articles in the room are made from clippings from advertisements, blown-up photos and magazine images. The most recognizable image makes up the ceiling. It was a popular magazine image of the planet earth taken from outer space. Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?

5. When doing your own collages it is important to emphasize originality. The object of pop art is not to replicate another individual’s perception, but to find something ordinary and bring it to life through your own perspective. Building on Hamilton’s, Peter Blakes and James Rosenquist themes of Mass Media, consumerism and materialism. "Everything is beautiful. Pop is everything." - Andy Warhol "Popular (designed for a mass audience); transient (short-term solution); expendable (easily forgotten); low cost; mass produced; young (aimed at youth); witty; sexy; gimmicky; glamorous; and last but not least, Big Business." - Richard Hamilton, defining what Pop art means to him A few Ideas……… Celebrities Mass produced items Printed images Brands Consumerism Materialism Products Society News Advertising

6. Students must look at the tiles below and create collages based on them. To help inspire students to think creatively about what to include in their pop art collages they must work in pairs and mind maps ideas and images that they might use. Task: produce 3 collages based on 3 of the titles above. You can use the magazines and newspapers and your own photographs (I prefer the collages to be physically cut and stuck down but if you prefer to use Photoshop please do.)
