Summary

I really liked completing this project in an abstract matter because I personally like to edit my photos more and make them look unrealistic. I like the results from my project, I think that the edits were nice and I spent about a day and a half on each photo. This project ties into different aspects of dada using the cut copy paste, color blocks, ilegible text, and halftone screens. All four of these techniques were used for this project to represent dada.

Questions About Art

 A work of art is something that is creative that has meaning to the artist or is appealing to the eye. An artwork provides satisfaction to the maker and should leave the viewer curious about the piece of art such as what is means. People make art to express feeling, emotions, and to tell a story. One can encounter art anywhere and anytime of the day. The role of the artist is to attract the viewers and catch peoples attention. 

Moma

Dada was an art movement around 1915 that was anti-war and it came into existence because of the brutality of world war 1. A pioneer of dadaism was marcel duchamp that created readymades; objects that already existed and he would call them art. They change your expectations of art because the readymades make you realize that everyday object can be considered art.

Marcel Duchamps Bicycle wheel

Dada artists embraced chance, accident, and improvisation. They took this approach to critique the systems that shaped society.   

Max Ernst The Hat Makes The Man

Dadaists believed that the value of art lay not in the work produced, but in the act of making and collaborating with others to create new visions of the world.

Dadaist used puns and word play, literature and poetry, and turned letters and words into abstract forms so it was illegible.
