Key Ideas:

Visual And Literary Materiality In Modern Art

Iconoclast
John Heartfield/Photomontage
Surrealism-1924
Automatism

Lecture 3 started out with a quick run up on Plaskastil and how minimalism started become more popular. Followed by the cubist movement which changed the way everyone looked at art. Cubism lead the so many different genres of art, which is why it is my favorite genre. Design then changed toward to get the message across faster, which became even more popular when the war started. I've always been a big fan of propaganda style art and being able to see all the influences that impacted how the style grew up is really cool. After that graphic design began to get really strange and out there. Maybe too stange for my taste, though I did like some of the DADA style with their use of typography and image. That modern style is still around today and becoming a trend again in clothing styles and designs.
