MY LIFE IS POP – CAGLIARI – CASTELLO S.MICHELE – THURSDAY AUGUST 30

 Educational workshop conceived and designed by Ivana Salis for the Consortium Camu active Castello San Michele aimed at children aged 8 to 13 years.

The goal is to create a story of ourselves, with a few synthetic characteristics, the main ones, immediately gives a picture of who we are, how we conceive of our being in the world, in society.

A photo of our face expresses a state of mind, allows the viewer to read us in our appearance. A tale of us, through “icons”, expresses our peculiarities in a composition chosen, selected by the choice of objects, colors and shapes. The Pop-Art, literally folk art, transforms what is customary in the art work, giving an interpretation of the amendment on its merits, using the color for the purpose emotional, like a highlighter, a magnifying glass. This is how the boxes and Brillo Box “tomato soup”, the icons of Marlyn Monroe by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein’s characters, objects Oldenburg, just to mention a few examples.

The newspaper, with the use, consumption and abuse of objects, infiltrates and replaces the pure aesthetic creation, there is no need to invent, everything is already at hand. To speak of ourselves, of features that are not only ours, but that we find in the social world, we can use pre-built forms, such as using the images that fill the magazines. The collage will be the instrument that will be used to give an image of ourselves, of what we are in the world, a reflection of traditions and customs. Our image will unequivocally be a POP icon, commissioned and created to describe the objects and images that daily help us to extend our personality.
