It played an important role in the history of art. Pop art created a dialogue of life and art,broken the narrow concept-"Art for art",and expanded the scope of art. Pop art now is the watershed of modern art and post-modern art to some art theory. It is rather necessary to understand and draw the knowledge from pop art. The relationship of my works and pop art is from the unconscious intention beginning to a consciously excavating. To show the meaning of my work and features,I make full use of the artistic characteristics of pop art and rational use of its advantages to endow my work a life and clarity,giving a strong and simple visual effects to readers,to make my work more extroverted and more sentimental.展开更多

The aim of this study was to see the response of the cancer patients and their carers residing in Bangladesh towards art therapy and the perceived effect of art therapy on their physical and psychological condition. Method: The study was a record review study conducted through a cross-sectional descriptive method from July to November 2018. Along with the cancer patients, their immediate carers were enrolled in this study since patients and their carers both suffer from the distress that comes with the diagnosis of cancer. In-depth interviews and focused group discussions of art therapy were conducted with our study population at BPSCF and BSMMU. Findings: After art therapy, there was an improvement in sensory perception and self-perception, physical and psychological condition, communication and social skills and helped in more personal integration and built stronger insight among the patients and carers. Majority of the participants of art therapy felt good and wanted to continue art therapy. Significance of results: The results of this study will help to create awareness among the community about the importance of psychotherapies like art therapy in the life of the cancer patients and their carers. Introducing the concept of art therapy will also help the public health practitioners to improvise palliative care services in Bangladesh in a very cost-effective approach.展开更多
