We had another presentation today about the Modern art movement. A lot of what was going on was about expressing something in a completely new way, like Cubism with Picasso and Braque. We talked about expressionism and surrealism and expressionism includes lots of colors and exaggerated figures while surrealism was more about fantasy or dreamlike images. Personally I really liked futurism, where they made images from words and letters, and Dadaism. I think that the little group exercise at the end of the presentation was helpful. We got to see different pictures and works of art and decided what style they were. It made you think about what characteristics each style had and whether or not it applied in the images we were given.
Why didn't the Dadaists want what they were doing to be seen as an art movement?
