MoMA & Dada

World War 1 and Dada:

Dada is a conflict that claimed the lives of eight million military personnel and an estimated equal number of civilians, around 1914-1918. This was made into existence because it was made to prove a point, and that point being that deaths from the war made a big impact on the nation and by showing the dada movement there was a lot of attention being drawn to it to symbolize it.

Marcel Duchamp and the Readymade:

Readymades is a description from the artist and an observer of his own art and gave them specific titles, all art pieces had a part of them that were named readymades and that was what he was known for. It made all of his artwork stand out.

They change my expectations on art in a way that makes me want to see more and more to see how different every piece is going to be from another, every piece has unqiueness to it and that's what I like about his work  the most.

Here is an example of his artwork:

Chance Creations: Collage, Photomontage and Assemblage:

These Dada Artists Embraced a lot of things to do with their work, but I think the biggest thing that they embraced was the reaction that they got from people, and how the talk was around about regarding these artists and their artwork.

These artists took this approach because they wanted to see how much different people would compare and contrast from their work from before or from other artists creations and sculptures and having their own understanding of the creation of imagery.

Here is an example of the artwork:

Artistic Collaboration:

As said in this article the whole experience with dadaism has a lot to do with skits, pranks, and performances were all seemingly inane, they were rooted in the sentiments of a meritorious nature.
They were all thought of so that they could all be unique and have their own purpose and that is what all of the dada artitsts did.

Word Play:

Dada artists do word play so that there have text and speech free from the rules of spelling, grammar, and punctuation, The Dada Artists form their final pieces of  art  to turn the original text and forms of literature into abstract forms of unique art.

Here is an example of Word Play artwork:

Pollution Final

Pollution Final

My social issue was about Pollution, I chose to do pollution as a social issue because I have very strong feelings about it, I feel like it isn't seen as a big deal to anyone but in reality it really is. Anyone and everyone can chip in to make the world a better place by stopping pollution there can be so many reduced leaks of oil and gases being put into the air, and also stop deaths of innocent animals and people from not having damage into their lungs. People need to open their eyes and see what this world is starting to come to and put a stop to it to make the earth a better place!

Results of hope from these ads I made are so people can see the facts that are being listed in them and maybe by reading them realizing that they could make a difference to stop pollution from occurring.

The Target Audience is towards any type of teenager, kid, or adult whether its boy or girl because there is so many ways for pollution to happen and people may not even realize that they are causing pollution and there really are so many ways to prevent it from happening. 

My slogans are: Do Something Drastic To Make The Planet Fantastic!

No Pollution Is The Clear Solution

Along with some facts that I threw into each photo that shows significance to the photos purpose.

 My thoughts about my final pieces of my project to be honest dissapointed me quite a bit, I had all these images of great ideas to what I could form the photos into then I just feel like they kind of ended up looking too plain and didn't have enough realism to them, Regardless I really do have a passion to wanting to stop pollution and I feel like there could be a great way to do so! 

Some tips I would give to another person who is doing the same assignment is to really think through on what they want to focus on for the assignment and to make sure that its something they want to do and won't get bored with it because I myself was going to do Drinking and Driving but then I realized I would have more of a passion with Pollution and don't get me wrong I think Drinking and Driving is a big deal but it wasn't as much of a passion to me as much as Pollution. 

The most challenging thing in this assignment would honestly have to be when I was editing my photos because I had great ideas in my head but I couldn't set my thoughts to the computer and it just got more and more challenging to me and I would over think and end up wasting time on something I didn't particularly like that much. I do think what I did well on this project was how I didn't give up on trying to perfect my projects even though the outcome of them wasn't really what I imagined and they didn't turn out to be my favorite project I have ever done but I know that over time they can definitely improve.

Social Issue Ad

My social issue is Pollution, my ads that I have uploaded are so far based on animals, I have a picture drawn that is supposed to be one of my dogs (I'm not a very good drawer so my bad) but the first one says "No Pollution Is A Clear Solution" which is why I drew my dog and also added smoke around the dog because it symbolizes that there is no clear solution or clear view with a dog trying to see around all of the smoke which is pollution in the air, dogs and people both breathe in smoke no matter where it is so its kind of impossible to avoid it. With this ad i'm trying to promote no pollution in the air and showing how it affects animals as well as people. The Second advertisement ad that I drew is showing a girl who is putting hair spray in her hair, there is other hair products on the ground laying next to her and its showing all of the fumes that just go into the air after using them and it can also make an affect on the air and people breathing the air into their lunges and it makes an impact on the environment.

Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook Article

One of the things i've learned from reading this article about advertising in social media is from the first article that's called Air Canada: Ruining A Good Idea. Lucile Garner Grant specifically. This stood out to me because at the bottom of the little article there is bullet points saying as to why that article containing her information isn't set up that well because it's not 1. Visually compelling 2. It's burdened with too much text. 3. It's a link post when it should have been a picture post. After seeing those bullet points I realized that it put out a great point, the information was set up well, there wasn't enough visual support to make the article interesting and I honestly think that if there's going to be an article uploaded and published it should look appealing and good to look at so people want to read it and are interested in it. From the next article, JEEP: Evoking the Right Emotions was advertising the vehicle of the Jeep but it wasn't in the best way in my opinion. They didn't even have a picture including the jeep even though it this article was based on emotions. It was a good article other than that but could have also included more information. Mercedes Benz: A Great Product Deserved Better is advertising the new an improved Mercedes Benz but was poorly constructed. The use of information wasn't much because of Poorly called to Action and No Logo. Subaru: Amateur Night
This article is not appealing, there is no information listed to support the photo of the Subaru that is also a super boring shot because it shows no character and no uniqueness. What I've learned about reading these articles as to what NOT to do when advertising is lack of logos, and information that makes the product interesting that attracts people to wanting to know more,  also if there's a great shot thats being uploaded make sure there's great information to back it up and not leave it hanging.

Ad Analysis

Pollution

I chose this photo for a great example of pollution in advertisement because it sends out a strong message, the reasoning why is because it goes to show just from pollution meaning gases and trash and just from one piece one person may just throw away or gases from vehicles can leave affects on all types of the environment.

This ad is triggered towards adults who happen to drive and may even liter trash, by them stopping all of this it can help any part of an environment.

The unique thing about this photo is its actually true, with all of the pollution it really does kill the environment and with stopping it can get it all back to health. 

Text/Slogan: Give Our Mother Earth A Chance.

The target audience is to anyone who seems to litter and just not care about where any of their trash ends up.

The uniqueness about this photo is how the plastic bag is formed into a sting ray and its showing a really great point, sea animals and animals eat anything that they really can and it ends up killing them if its dangerous enough.

The theme is save the animals that get stuck eating all of the trash and inhale gases that they shouldn't be. 

Text/Slogan: Each year, plastic pollution kills more than 100,000 marine creatures.

This photo mainly focuses gases that pollute the air. Whether people realize it or not there is a lot of gases that go through the air whether its from factories or from any vehicles.

The unique thing about this photo is that there's a person view from in a car and they are driving past factories that are producing so much gases that are polluting the air, The windshield wiper that is going across from left to right is showing what should there which is natural resources such as trees and grass that produce oxygen,

The theme for this picture is going showing how all of these factories are a big reason for pollution that is occurring all the time.

The slogan for this is: Don't pollute, time to reduce!

This photo is representing how you never really know what you could be eating. These two sushi rolls rolled in plastic bags are showing that there is so much waste and garbage just being thrown where ever that it can really affect not only animals and mammals but humans don't realize this either so until there is less pollution this will be a huge problem!

The unique thing about this photo is that you don't always see the bad side of where food comes from and that people should always be very cautious. 

The theme for this photo is just saying be cautious as to what you eat, you may never know if you're not careful.

Text/Slogan: What Goes In The Ocean Goes In You.

Social Issue Project Proposal

My project proposal is coming towards Drinking and Driving i'm going to build an ad around this proving that drinking and driving isn't okay to do no matter who you are or what age you are. its very dangerous and can leave affects on tons of people whether their family or friends.
The reason i'm doing drinking and driving because of past reasons that I would not particularly
 like to share in a blog post.
People should be concerned about drinking and driving no matter who it is. This problem relates to a lot of people whether its friends or family.
Motivation for others to be aware about drinking and driving should not be a difficult task. If there;s certain things brought to peoples attention and past stories from friends and families can make people realize tons of reasons to not drink and drive.
