Chapter 13 After Class

Today we discussed the styles such as cubism, futurism, Dada, Surrealism and Emotionalism. It was Alexis' turn to present today and basically she just described what each style consisted of and who the major influences were in modern art. At the end we got into groups and she quizzed us on the different styles by giving us a packet of different art pieces. Afterwards Laura went over questions we had about Frank Lloyd Wright especially. We also discussed how the AEG company still exists today. We also talked about Behren's work, and talked about that Tea Kettle...... The most important thing I learned today was how to distinguish all the different styles of modern art in the chapter, I thought I knew them all pretty well, but when we took that quiz I found that I was mixing a couple styles up! A question I would have is was Dada really popular at the time? Because I know it kinda faded out...
