He left school when he was 15 and joined the air force at 17.  then in 1956-1960 he studied at Chelsea school of art. After this he trained at Royal Collage of art and graduated in 1963. directly after this he started  to teach at Chelsea school of art (proving he was a very talented young person as he went straight from education to teaching in the same year). During his teaching time, in 1964, he  exhibited at the New Generation show at London's Whitechapel Gallery, which resulted in him being associated with the pop art movement. This was a label Caulfield was opposed to throughout his career, seeing himself rather as "a 'formal' artist". From the mid-1970s he incorporated more detailed, realistic elements into his work; After Lunch (1975) is an early example. Caulfield dabbled in other materials apart from paintings; there were also some screen prints which he worked along with tapestries, glass windows for museums, restaurants, hotels and galleries and even posters, book covers and ceramics.

Due to his artistic achievements Patrick Caulfield became a Royal Academian and a fellow of the RCA. Other accolades included winning the Jerwood Prize, nomination for the Turner Prize and being appointed CBE by the Queen.

Keith Haring was an openly gay man who created art work for political advantage and to have fun. His main cause was the outbreak of the AIDs disease in the 1970s-90s and raising awareness for those who sought help from the government. he learnt how to draw from his father who inspired his love for doodling. he went on to study commercial art in 1976-78 but ended up dropping out. he then moved to new York and had is first ever solo show. that's when he came up with his iconic idea of changing his glasses the match his art work. he really did break through societies norms as he was a white male living in the Bronx which was a predominantly POC area and he was in an inter racial gay relationship. Haring's popularity grew from his spontaneous drawings in New York City subways of chalk outlines of figures, dogs, and other stylized images on blank black advertising spaces. After gaining public recognition, he created colorful larger scale murals, many commissioned. He produced more than 50 public artworks between 1982 and 1989. In April 1986, Pop Shop was opened in Soho and made Haring's work readily accessible to purchase at reasonable prices, though he was highly criticized for the commercialization of his work. Shirts, posters, and other items showing his work were sold there. Haring died on February 16, 1990, of AIDS-related complications.

Haring's work has a very distinctive unique style. it makes you able to know its his before you are told. he used his work to fight and raise awareness for his political views. his doodles are most of the time abstract meaning you can interpret them however you like. But knowing most of his work was to raise awareness for the AIDs crisis it makes his work easy to see the intended meaning.

Spero chronicled wars and apocalyptic violence as well as articulating visions of ecstatic rebirth and the celebratory cycles of life.

she was a British-Argentinian painter and photographer associated with the surrealist movement.Agar (1899-1991) remains the most under-represented of all British surrealists. She painted scenes of indelible strangeness, constructed collages out of wallpaper, foliage and lino, fashioned ceremonial hats – including one to wear when eating bouillabaisse, made from an upturned cork basket stuck with crustacean shells. “I’ve enjoyed life, and it shows through,” Agar once said. “Like a transparent skirt, or something like that.” There are photographs from the 1930s of her dancing in just such a skirt; and others, by Lord Snowdon, of her modelling Issey Miyake in her late 80s. She worked in her London studio right into her 90s, and never stopped experimenting, using paint like lipstick, pollen or bright liquid on the canvas, fashioning new sculptures from old objects.

He also created many sculptures and murals that are displayed in public all over the United States. He also created prints and art pieces heavily inspired by famous art works made in the past and then with his modern style alters moments in the art works to reflect modern times. Even though at the time his work was not considered a job, he worked every single day and stopped at 1pm. This meant he was always around to parent his son, who now speaks very highly of his father and is proud of his fathers work.

Roy's work is more popular and well known now more than ever before. This is because the old fashioned ideals of what are work did not correlate his his work. Meaning as the world modernised we began to realise the genius in his work and acknowledge its importance to the progression of the creative industry.

Liz Atkin is a visual artist based in London. With a background in theatre and dance, physicality underpins her creative practice. she creates scans based around the theme of skin. how it changes, stretches and ages. Because of this most of her art shows portraits in an abstract form.  This personal investigation explores body focused behavior resulting in a sometimes violent rendering of the body in order to resculpt. she has been working on this consept for some time and overtime has perfected her skills so now she can instantly release her imagination onto the scanner.

she has been featured i many exhibitions and galleries, she has attended and spoken at workshops and collaborated with many London based artists. A statement from Atkin on her work- "I am interested in the availability of the skin to bear inscriptions. Whether it is mortified or glorified, marked or scarred, I employ my skin as both a boundary and point of correlation. My skin is unavoidably personal. It carries permanent marks of what my body has experienced, marks accidentally or consciously made its surface. "
