Dadaism

Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1922. The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature—poetry, art manifestoes, art theory—theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Its purpose was to ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. In addition to being anti-war, dada was also anti-bourgeois and anarchistic in nature.



this is copy from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dadaism .



If art was to appeal to sensibilities, Dada was intended to offend.

as i think the dadaism just make the traditional artwork into a funny way` or make something unusual.

cubism--the art i dont understand

(Modern Portraits Cubism Discount Art Wholesale Reproductions Oil Paintings)

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism, was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1907 and 1911 in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919, when the Surrealist movement gained popularity.
In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of cubism's distinct characteristics.

I think it just composed block use straight line and curve mix together. and not look at things from a point of view, different perspectives from which to observe and understand.

Angle ---- kress & van leeuwen

The function of vertical angles is widely noted: high angles (looking down on a depicted person from above) are interpreted as making that person look small and insignificant, and low angles (looking up at them from below) are said to make them look powerful and superior.

high angle depicts a relationship in which the producer of the image and the viewer have symbolic power over the person or thing represented

low angle depicts a relationship in which the depicted person has power over the image-producer and the viewer


Horizontal camera angles. Moving the camera around the subject horizontally while aiming at the subject creates different camera angles below:

Eg:




this two people talking to each other. and the viewer- us just like not inside it.



Vertical camera angles. Moving the camera around the subject vertically while aiming at the subject creats different camera angles below:

High angle. The camera is placed above eye level, looking downward. A high angle shot can make a character look smaller, younger, weak, confused, or more childlike.
Eye level. Most commonly used.
Low angle. The camera is placed below eye level, looking upward. A low angle shot can make a character look bigger, stronger, or more noble. It also gives the impression of height.

Symbolism

:I have draw the symbolism in the AI.

Symbolism of Infinity



Symbolism of Blind


Symbolism of Absolute

Symbolism (arts)

As I think the symbolism is about one or some object/picture that can be a symbol of other things. Through the symbols, metaphors and decorative screen to show the dream of illusion to enlightenment to others.

Eg:

Freedom

Women


Power


Man

White Rabbit

The White Rabbit Collection is one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of contemporary Chinese art. Founded by Kerr and Judith Neilson, it focuses on works produced after 2000.

The origins of the Collection go back to the late 1990s, when Judith Neilson engaged Wang Zhiyuan, a Chinese artist then living in Sydney, as her art tutor. He introduced her to the astonishing explosion of creativity taking place in China in the wake of the “Opening Up” that had begun in 1989. Mrs Neilson began buying works, but soon ran out of space to hang them. She and her husband then decided to open a gallery that would make the exciting world of contemporary Chinese art available to all Australians.

The White Rabbit Gallery, a specially converted knitting factory near Sydney’s Central Station, has four floors of exhibition space as well as a theatrette, a library and a teahouse. Only a fraction of the Collection is on show at any time. The entire contents of the gallery are rehung twice a year.

"Koong Koong" is the sort of person

"'Koong Koong', I have compiled from the shape of a ring. The ring has four tentacles, and its shape not only like animals, like a plant, but also as the body parts." Xiong Wen Yun said, "In this ring Inspired, I cut it into three of the four tentacles, as distinct from human and animal ears. the top of the head of the three small angle is not the ear, that the three organs that can grow when allowed flowers, grass, trees, or even release the gas or missile or something. "

The reason this photo let me feel uncomfortable that's because the dog lost the freedom, it need to be caged. The expression in it's eyes is very sad. when i just see the photo i got feeling is i dont want see it. it makes me sad.

Impressionism painting: not based on reliable knowledge to make an instant impression of painting. Artists to capture the characteristics of the side to do a painting, so they must darting brush to color directly applied to the canvas, they can only give more consideration to the overall effectiveness of the painting, with less regard to minor details.

About the painting

In the short-term ups and downs but also a brilliant Van Gogh's life, his <> is one of my favorite paintings. Some people say when they see the sunflowers feels himself so small. My feeling is that the life of the combustion. That is actually the spirit of his temperament. A nervous man's performance. He has repeatedly described the theme of sunflower still life, he loved to put a lot sunflowers in his room. He said: "I want to draw on half a dozen of the" Sunflower "to decorate my studio, "
