After viewing crash course in art history power point and videos; Pick two of the Art styles from Fauvism to today. Using the elements of art and principles of design in your vocabulary, compare and contrast the two movements, discussing if one influenced the other, traits of each one, differences and similarities. Which one appeals to you the most and why?
Fauvism has harsh colors and painting with figures that are flattened. This means that people or animals or other figures don't look realistic because they don't look like they are 3D. "Fauv" means "wild beast" in French, and most of the Fauvists were French and German painters. The roaring twenties are evident in some of the art and the realities of hard work after looing lots of money is evident in other pieces.

Most influential of all the Dadaists is Frenchman Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) He exhibited his first ready made sculptures mass produced found objects; he sometimes altered them by combining with them other objects He claimed these objects were created free from any consideration of either good or bad taste His most outrageous ready-made is Fountain; a porcelain urinal presented on its back signed R Mutt and dated The artist s signature is a witty pseudonym derived from the Mott plumbing company s name and short for Mutt and Jeff comic strip This was not selected for its aesthetic quality- questions what is art Very aggressive avant-garde approach to art
Marcel Duchamp, Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2, 1912, oil on canvas
In 1919, Duchamp made a parody of the Mona Lisa by adorning a cheap reproduction of the painting with a mustache and goatee. To this he added the inscription L.H.O.O.Q., a phonetic game which, when read out loud in French quickly sounds like "Elle a chaud au cul". This can be translated as "She has a hot a--",

Pollock was introduced to the use of liquid paint in 1936 at an experimental workshop in New York City by the Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros. He later used paint pouring as one of several techniques on canvases of the early 1940s, such as Male and Female and Composition with Pouring I. After his move to Springs, he began painting with his canvases laid out on the studio floor, and he developed what was later called his "drip" technique. He started using synthetic resin-based paints called alkyd enamels, which, at that time, was a novel medium. Pollock described this use of household paints, instead of artist s paints, as "a natural growth out of a need". [16] He used hardened brushes, sticks, and even basting syringes as paint applicators. Pollock's technique of pouring and dripping paint is thought to be one of the origins of the term action painting. With this technique, Pollock was able to achieve a more immediate means of creating art, the paint now literally flowing from his chosen tool onto the canvas. By defying the convention of painting on an upright surface, he added a new dimension by being able to view and apply paint to his canvases from all directions.
