In class, this week, we spoke about Dadaism and Surrealism. I found both of these really nice styles of art and one artist in specific, Duchamp, where he would take everyday objects and take them out of the normal. One example of his work was a toilet, where he isolates the toilet and the speculators were to think about the object differently. What I wasn't too sure of was what makes a piece of art work an actual art piece. He would isolate an everyday object or put together two opposites, like a stool and a unicycle. For my personal opinion, an artist captures something appealing or paints an essence. Maybe its that he sees something in a toilet that we don't.
