YOU LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY!
The dots used in pop art are called Ben-Day dots:
Origin Benjamin Henry Day Jr., an American illustrator and printer, invented Ben-Day dots in 1879. They were originally used in commercial printing to create shades and colors by overlaying small, evenly-spaced dots.

Pop art American artist Roy Lichtenstein was a hallmark user of Ben-Day dots, often enlarging and exaggerating them in his paintings and sculptures. Lichtenstein's use of Ben-Day dots transformed mass-produced imagery into high art and influenced many artists, illustrators, and graphic designers. Some of his most famous works that feature Ben-Day dots include Whaam! (1963), Drowning Girl (1963), Ohhh...Alright... (1964), Hopeless (1963), and Girl with Ball (1961).

How to create Ben-Day dots You can create Ben-Day dots using crayons, markers, bubble wrap, and liquid tempera paint.
