Dada Final

1. Cut/Copy/Rearrange (B&W)

2. Color Blocks

3. Text (B&W)

4. Halftone Screen

I like most of the results of my final photos, but I had a difficult time coming up with new ideas and doing it without direction. I liked the freedom, but I think they would have come out better if I had more direction on them. 

With this assignment, we used the same techniques that they did and ended up with very abstract results.

- The value of art made by dadaists "lay not in the work produced, but in the act of making and collaborating with others to create new visions of the world".

-They unleashed an arsenal of puns, wordplay, and experimental poetry and literature to expose the arbitrary relationship between words and their meanings.
