Describe a  Dada art work . What world event influenced this style? how?

   The most interesting Dada art work made was the Marcel Duchamp. Dada was an art movement created from negativity after world war I happened. Dada was all very negative and portrayed non sense in the art. This piece was of Mona Lisa with a mustache and a beard almost. It was created to make fun of this art work.


Describe the work of Jacob Lawrence in the video. what were this artist's influences?

     Jacob Lawrence's work was mainly focused on the African american history. He wanted to show the labor they had gone through and how they migrated from where they had first started. He showed that very well in his work, which influenced certain artists. It also influenced how the other artists created their work as well, by using some of his techniques.

  1. I enjoyed reading your response to the first question. In the second one you forgot to mention the people(artists) that inspire Jacob Lawrence.
