1. Describe a Dada
Artwork. What world event influenced this style? How?
Dada artwork is art
that was created by pieces cheap uncollectable material put together to create
an art piece whose purpose is to be radical and to see things in a new
perspective. The Mona Lisa with the mustache is unconventional. It breaks all
the rules of art and has its viewers respond to a message of accepting what is
out of place and looking at in from a different point of view. The dada artwork
started in protest after world war one, it was used criticized society through its
rebellious art. These pieces are out of the ordinary, they are not cohesive, and
they ridiculed conventional rule. By making something that is out of the
ordinary in a time where things are ruled by chaos, they begin to understand
artwork that is outspoken and different.
