This week in class we discussed artwork. It is interesting to see how many types of artwork we see from the past 150 years. In reality there was not as much change in art centuries ago compared to the changes we see now such as futurism, dada, fauvism, and many others. Even though these movements of art are interesting, I prefer art from the Baroque period because it is more dramatic and intriguing. The upside down urinal as a fountain was unreal. I thought that was funny.
We reviewed for the test a bit, and I am a little scared of what it is going to be like. There is so much material to go over again, and I hope that I may remember everything. I guess I have until Friday to take it so a few days to study for it. I do not know where to get started. Maybe starting with architecture is a go.

i really thought the urinal/fountain was very funny too. it's beauty is in its simplicity. it was basically a middle finger to previous and pretentious art. awesome.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the urinal/fountain thing was supposed to be a bit funny. Dadaists appreciated humor in their art, and were always trying to upset the status quo.
ReplyDeleteYou'll do fine on the midterm, just review the powerpoints and know your terms and such. I would also suggest doing a study group if you can.
i really enjoyed classes this week too. i still cant get over how much information she can cram into those periods and i hope i can do well on the test. my favorite time period is modernism especially the cubism style. i just understand it better and it's kind of a challenge to figure out what angle you are looking at.
