Key Ideas in today lectures:

New form of advertising for Plakastil you go to Hollerbaum and Schmidt.

synthetic cubism, first collages

futurist manifesto

Extended cubist collage- used bits of commercial ephemera , rubbish, and objects in nailed together compositions.


Today's lecture we went over a lot of cubism art as well as Plakastil. I really enjoyed looking at the cubist collages because I thought they looked really interesting and I like to do collages from time to time. I also liked how they collected different kinds of material to put into the collages and some how make it look good all together even though they have no relevance to each other.
