    Dada
    Cultural movement that began in Switzerland during
    World War 1 involving art, theater, literature, and
    graphic design.
    The members of the Dada movement expressed
    their anti-war politics through anti-art activities
    including gatherings, exhibitions, demonstrations, and
    art/literary journals.
    Dada is the groundwork
    to abstract art and sound
    poetry, a starting point
    for performance art, a
    prelude to
    postmodernism, an
    inuence on pop art, a
    celebration of antiart to
    be later embraced for
    anarcho-political uses in
    the 1960s and the
    movement that lay the
    foundation for
    Surrealism.

    Picabia's I Am a Beautiful Monster: Poetry, Prose, And
    Provocation (MIT Press 2007)
    Raoul Hausman
    "The Dada
    philosophy is
    the sickest,
    most
    paralyzing
    and most
    destructive
    thing that
    has ever
    originated
    from the
    brain of man."
    American Art News
    Raoul Hausman
    Art historians
    have described
    Dada as being,
    in large part,
    "in reaction to
    what many of
    these artists
    saw as nothing
    more than an
    insane spectacle
    of collective
    homicide."
    john heartfield
    Dada artists described the
    movement as a phenomenon
    burstin forth in the midst of
    the postwar economic and
    moral crisis, a savior, a
    monster, which would lay
    waste to everythin in its
    path. |It was| a systematic
    work of destruction and
    demoralization...In the end it
    became nothin but an act of
    sacrilee.

    Surrealism
    Surrealist works feature the element of surprise,
    unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur.
    Leader Andr Breton was explicit in his assertion that
    Surrealism was above all a revolutionary movement.
    Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities of World
    War I and the most important center of the movement was
    Paris. From the 1920s on, the movement spread around
    the globe, eventually affecting the visual arts, literature,
    lm, and music, of many countries and languages, as well
    as political thought and practice, and philosophy and social
    theory. wikipedia
    Dictionary: Surrealism, n. Pure psychic
    automatism, by which one proposes to
    express, either verbally, in writing, or
    by any other manner, the real
    functioning of thought. Dictation of
    thought in the absence of all control
    exercised by reason, outside of all
    aesthetic and moral preoccupation.
    Encyclopedia: Surrealism. Philosophy.
    Surrealism is based on the belief in the
    superior reality of certain forms of
    previously neglected associations, in
    the omnipotence of dream, in the
    disinterested play of thought. It tends to
    ruin once and for all other psychic
    mechanisms and to substitute itself for
    them in solving all the principal
    problems of life.

    Photogram
    Camera-less
    photography
    A photogram is a
    photographic image
    where objects are
    placed directly on the
    photo paper and
    exposed to light to
    create an image
    Photograms
    The word photography comes from two Greek
    words that mean light drawing. This idea of light
    drawing is best exemplied in the process of
    making photograms.
    Hannah Park Afraid of Nail Clipping
    In the 1920s artist such as Christian Schad,
    Man Ray, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy started
    experimenting with photograms as a means of
    deviating from straightforward realism and into
    strange and dreamlike exploration of surrealism
    and the abstract use of light and space.
    Schad
    Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
    Put simply, making a photogram is similar to getting a
    suntan - skin exposed to the suns rays darkens, while
    unexposed skin remains the same. The amount of
    exposure time and the intensity of the light affect the
    degree of darkening of both a suntan and a photogram
    How do these things work?

    Create two photograms which utilize collected objects
    from your home.
    Visually explore:
    transparency, opacity, movement, x-ray effect
    Next, use one of your explorations as a starting
    place for a series of 3 photograms that connect
    visually or thematically.
    They should all work together as a series BUT
    also work on their own as individual
    compositions.
    Remember to consider
    how compositions are put
    together!!! Practice
    organizing and sketching
    out your ideas first!!!
