I enjoyed this project, but I like having direction, and being told what I'm working, on rather than being given 4 things and making it my own. I thought it was a fun unit and i like the way it turned out, but I like natural photo's best.

MoMA and Dada

World War I and Dada

What is Dada and why did it come into existence?

• Dada is basically an anti-art made into an art. It started in WWI because of corruption and brutality of the war. 

 Marcel Duchamp and the Readymade

 Discuss Duchamp’s notion of “Readymades”.  What are they?

• Mass-produced, commercially available, often utilitarian objects, designating them as art and giving them titles.

 How do they change your expectations about what art can be?

• It makes me realize art can be ANYTHING, not just a painting or a drawing or a sculpture, but anything that was designed/ created and has meaning.

Include a visual of Duchamp’s work

Billboard

Poster

• Description: My social issue is about Abortion and trying to prevent it.
• Why I chose: I chose this issue because my mother(the women I took photos of) had an abortion and has spent her whole life regretting it. 
• Results?: I hope that people will see these and realize how horrible abortions are and that IF you have one you will spend your whole life regretting it.
• Target Audience: Any women who finds herself incapable of giving birth and feels she needs an abortion.
• USP: Used someone who HAS HAD an Abortion.

My Thoughts: I Really like the end result. I think its different and unique. But I think there are some places that I could have spent more time on.

Tips: Try new things. Experimenting helps you find things that are different from everyone else.

Challenging: Trying to make my project different from everyone elses.
Well: I think when it comes to being unique I did well.
