Steampunk

Steampunk originated in the 1980's and early 1990's.  It incorporates bits of science fiction, fantasy and horror. It involves an alternative history where everything is steam powered. Steampunk is sometimes adapted to fashion, art and design. Most steampunk is set in the Victorian times during the Industrial Revolution where people rely on steam and spring powered things than electricity but steampunk is sometimes set in the American Western era.

Pop Art


Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, news.
The Independent Group, founded in London in 1952, is regarded as the precursor to the pop art movement.  At the first Independent Group meeting in 1952, co-founding member, artist and sculptor Eduardo Paolozzi presented a lecture using a series of collages titled Bunk! that he had assembled during his time in Paris between 1947–1949.
