Exquisite Corpse


This image was acquired by folding a paper into four different parts and passed around in a group to draw their own part. This relates to surrealism because we didn't know what the other person before us was drawing and we added on to it using our unconscious mind.

MoMA &Dada

World War I and Dada:

Dada is an abstract form of art, created by artist who were aiming to create different works of art to express their feelings towards the war and life around them.

Marcel Duchamp and the Readymade:

Readymades were manufactured goods, the point was to challenge the thought that artwork was only beautiful if created nicely by an artist instead of just taking a picture of something already pre made. Art can be anything and everything around us, depending on the eye of the person looking at it.

Chance Creations: Collage, Photomontage, and Assemblage:

Data artists embraced modernity. Their work typically had references to technology, newspapers, films, and advertisements. It was an opportunity of true perception and criticism for the times they were living in.

Artist Collaboration:

They recreated what art could be by adding chance-based procedures to their work with scissors and glue.

Word Play:

They would cut apart words and glued them together randomly to create a different look in art.
