Andy Warhol is considered by many to be the greatest artist in history. His pop art paintings were realistic, vibrant and detailed, but at the same time remained simplistic.
Luckily for us, we can quickly and easily recreate the pop art effect that made Warhol famous with online digital photo editors.
Pop Art originated in London in the 1950s. In England it was called propaganda art because it relied heavily on media, advertising and popular, marketable items.
In the United States, we call it pop art, short for popular. Pop art focuses on a popular object or subject.
Depending on which photo editing software you choose, there are many ways to add a pop art effect to your photos.
However, in this tutorial, we’ll take the easy route with FotoFlexer free online photo editor. So, to get started, go to the FotoFlexer homepage
FotoFlexer is quite old now and most people use Google Photos or other photo editing apps on their phones, but their website still works great for a lot of basic editing and effects.
On the FotoFlexer home page, click the Upload Photo button.
You also have the option to upload photos directly from PhotoBucket, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, and more. The next screen you’ll be taken to is the instant edit screen. Click the Download button.
Navigate to the photo you want to make pop art, select it and click the “Open” button. From there FotoFlexer will load the editor screen.
It’s time to demonstrate how fast and easy FotoFlexer is to use. Click the Effects tab, then use the More buttons to view different effects. Once you’ve achieved a pop art effect, click it.
