http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZXOL-HUfWM&feature=player_embedded#at=95
Art movements create different ways to and of approaching art, combined with the Elements and Principles of Art.

Picture

Is this Art? Why or why not?

The artist of this art installation is Marcel Duchamp.

He was a French painter and sculpture who's career flourished in the art movement of Dadaism and Conceptual Art.

Dadaism is an art genre which rejects reason and logic and favours the ideas of nonsense and irrationality.

Picture

This piece is called FOUNTAIN; 1917. It is found art, not created by the artist.

Fountain is a urinal laid flat on it's back and signed by R. Mutt 1917.

FOUNTAIN is one of Duchamps most famous works of art.

Richard Mutt exclaimed that "He CHOSE it. He took an ordinary article of life, placed it so that its useful significance disappeared under the new title and point of view - created a new thought for that object." ('The Richard Mutt Case', The Blind Man, New York, no.2, May 1917, p.5.)

Is art simply something beautifully painted and sculpted Or is art interactive, questioning and intelligent?

Is This Art? Why or why not?

Is this "attractive", why or why not?

How does this piece of art make you feel?

Picture

Spend some time observing this image. What do you notice about the colours used, as your eyes move along the work from one colour to another?

Mark Rothko is the artist for this piece, entitled, No.5/ No. 22; 1950.

His work allows the viewer to engage with his works of art. Effectively the viewer becomes a "companion to the painting, helping to create the piece of work."
