Pop art is an art movement that presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertisement and news. It evolved from the interest of popular culture and is usually in the form of screenprints of everyday objects such as coke tins, dollar bills, comic strips, and the faces of well known people, and was colorfully presented. The movement started in the mid 1950s in the U.K. and the late 1950s in the United States. It effected high profile and easily recognizable media sources such as: consumer goods, advertising graphics, magazines, television, film, cartoons, and comic books.
