Roy Lichenstein was a pop artist known for taking elements from popular culture like advertisements and comic strips and transforming them into fine art using techniques like colorful dots. He was inspired by cartoons and comics, which typically feature heroes, villains, problems, and solutions presented through words in thought or speech bubbles to convey action and conversation. The document provides examples of Lichenstein's comic-inspired art and directs students to consider direction, emotion, colors, and bubble usage when creating their own comic art inspired by his pop art style.
