Who were Paolozzi and Richard?
Pop Art is an art movement that appeared in the mid-1950s in Britain and the late 1950s in the USA. Among the early artists that shaped the pop art movement were Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton in Britain, and Larry Rivers, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns among others in the United States. Pop art showed a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising and news. In pop art, material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, and/or combined with unrelated material.
Pop art employs elements of mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and common cultural objects. One of its aims is to use images of popular (as opposed to elitist) culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, most often through the use of irony. It is also associated with the artists' use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques.
Pop art is interpreted as a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of abstract expressionism, as well as an expansion of those ideas. Due to its utilization of found objects and images. Pop art and minimalism are considered to be art movements that precede post modern art, or are some of the earliest examples of post modern art themselves.
Pop art often takes imagery that is currently in use in advertising. Product labeling and logos figure prominently in the imagery chosen by pop artists, seen in the labels of Campbell's Soup Cans, by Andy Warhol. Even the labeling on the outside of a shipping box containing food items has been used in pop art, as demonstrated by Warhol's Campbell's Tomato Juice Box, 1964 .

Being human: "How many times..."
Mediante la pregunta retórica Bob Dylan estructura su canción/poema. Presenta tres preguntas en cada estrofa y la respuesta la da en el estribillo, por lo que en total son nueve preguntas retóricas (ver definición más abajo). Todas nos interpelan, por ejemplo en: "How many times can a man turn his head, pretend that he just doesn't see?", nos cuestiona cómo actuamos como seres humanos frente a las diversas situaciones de injusticia social, cuántas veces damos vuelta la cara frente a hechos que no sabemos o podemos resolver.
Actividad en pares
Reunidos con un compañero piensen y escriban tres preguntas en español que incluirían en la canción y tres preguntas en inglés. Piensen en situaciones que los interpelan como seres humanos, pueden ser cuestiones éticas, sociales o filosóficas.
La respuesta que da Bob Dylan a todas sus preguntas es: "The answer my friend is blowing in the wind..." lo cual da lugar a muchas interpretaciones: ¿Qué respuestas darían ustedes a las preguntas que elaboraron?
Then think about these questions:
- Are human beings losing humanity?
- What defines human being?
Finalizada esta tarea compartiremos en forma oral las distintas creaciones con el resto del grupo.
Análisis literario de la canción:
"Blowin' in the wind"

Actividad individual:
Te proponemos aplicar la guía para realizar tu propio análisis literario de la canción/poema.

Además, desarrolla la conclusión en la que puedes plantear una reflexión final sobre la canción/poema. Para trabajar las figuras retóricas toma en cuenta las siguientes definiciones.
