Great Art proponents
Art is not something new that started recently. Art work has been in existence for a very long time and there are various artists who have brought an influence in this field. When looking at art in the 1960s we can see that there are various art movements as well as cultural histories which are associated with this period.
Andy Warhol was a very influential pop artist in the 1960s. He took product logos and their labels from a commercial context and displayed them as a form of art. He also went ahead to make sculptures that were identical to Brillo boxes and Campbell's soup cans. Through his work we can see that pop art posed as a challenge to traditional art through equating imagery that was mass produced in advertising with existing fine arts. This was attracted by graphical directness of advertising and consumer packing which was simple. Andy Warhol is a very important figure when it comes to pop Art in America .this is because he is widely known for his work which is cool, detached and borrows images from...
With the boxes sculptures that he made he took consumer items that were popular and brought it up to a high art level through the production of large scale versions of originals (Chappell, 2006).
Another influential artist in the 1960s was George Segal. He is widely known for the sculptures he produced of people who were placed in different scenes.

The adoption of different aesthetic values like poster art, outdoor sculpture, earthworks, multimedia projections,

Colin Rowe and Fred Koetter argued in Collage City that the designer should intervene in the existing city by adding to and adjusting what is already there, a process more like collage than any other art form.

Arts and Education Lack of Arts in School Curriculum affects learning and interest in learning School leaders and policymakers pay little attention to arts despite the experience that, allowing young people to participate in arts and culture can influence their development tremendously.
