I chose Dada and Surrealism as well as Impact on Cubism, because these art movements are intriguing to me. I responded in my discussion to Dada and Surrealism, and I read on another student's post about Cubism, so I thought these videos would add depth to my knowledge on these subjects.
Dada: This art was the anti everything art. The some pieces disucssed were a mishmash of negative images on top of eachother and almost like a collage, such as Hanna's "Cut with a Kirchen Knife".Surrealism was the next movement right after the dada movement. Surrealism was bizzare. The paintings have many shapes that are extrme forms of what they represent. Miros was an artists that portrayed surrelistic art, just as Salvador Dali. Man Ray was another artist that the content is of familiar objects within unfamilar arrangment. The theme is the discrepancy between the reality and what is portrayed.
Cubism: Colors, textures and shape are the main elements of cubism. After looking at these paintings the shapes represent objects, and it depicts life as we know it from a more distorted point of view. The one artist starts with abstraction and moves to a real object in the finished piece. Picasso was a very important artist within this movement. He was influential to other artists. The arrive at an image, we have to imagine what the subject is behind the abstraction.
The films explained nnore artists that created these movemts that ents. However, they mostly just reinforced the information from the readings. It also explained more about the artist of this movement. I always say, the video are just so dry and boring, I sometimes feel like I learn more from the reading, but in this case it was nice to have more visuals of these types of art.
