My choice of Art Menifestos
DADA and SURREALISM
Dada is life with neither bedroom slippers nor parallels; it is
against and for unity and definitely against the future we are wise enough to know that our brains are going to become
flabby cushions, that our anti-dogmatism is as exclusive as a civil servant,
and that we cry liberty but are not free a severe necessity with entire discipline nor morals and that
we spit on humanity.
We declare that the motor car is a feeling that has cosseted us
quite enough in the dilatoriness of its abstractions, as have transatlantic
liners, noises and ideas. And while we put on a show of being facile, we are
actually searching for the central essence of things, and are pleased if we can
hide it we have no wish to count the windows of
the marvellous elite, for DADA doesn't exist for anyone, and we want everyone
to understand this
DADA is
neither madness, nor wisdom, nor irony, look at me, dear bourgeois.
UTOPIA for their time.
The utopia for the DADA movement was a world without acceptence, their basic aim was not to get accepted by society but rater to mock it.
For Sustainable
Design
S
F
vContext before absolutely
everything.
vTeach Sustainability.
vTalents should be balance.
vDesign for impermanence.
vThe systems comes before artefacts.
vDesigns support the societies where
it is created in.
UTOPIA for their time.
The utopia for sustrainable art is a completely concidered design. They concider absolutly everything that goes into the design and have a reason for why it was put in the design space.
FUTURISM
vFuturism was established as a
revolutionary movement in which all the arts were to test their ideas and forms
against the new realities of scientific and industrial society.
vVoiced enthusiasm for war, the
machine age, speed, and modern life.
UTOPIA for their time.
The utopia for Futurism is the new age of technology, speed and modern life. This new world of technology was about to bring bliss to the people.
CONTEMPORARY MEDIA
I analyized an animated series named 'family guy'. The underpinned issues i came across was that they make social commenry about politics, religion, streriotypes and celebrity life.
Current Generation
Todays generation of people are greatly influenced by the media (what they see and hear). Most of their hopes and dreams revolve around making lots of money, having facny clothes, fancy cars and houses that cost millions. The world is shifting to a time that people experess their selves via social media, wheather its just sharing your thpughts of haveing an opinion about someone elses thoughts.
Contemporary Utopia
The Utopia for people today is when you have all the riches in the world, have the biggest house worth million, drive expecsive cars and have designer clothes. Another place of paradise for people today is the concept of love, they seem to be inlove with the concept of love so much so that they seek it in the wrong people.
ILLUSTRATIONS
The aim of this post is to find contemporary political satires and explain on thei commentry. I chose Zapiro's work -most well known South African Illusrator- who focuses of the political satire about sitiations that are faced by South Africa.
In the image above Zapiro was making a comment about Zuma and the rape charges that he was faced with. The shower head is symbol of a statement that Jacob Zuma made about how a shower can cure HIV/AIDS, he now uses the shower head in every illustration that represents Zuma.
In this illustarion, Zapiro is making a comment about the Julius Malema, during the time he was being removed from the ANC political party. The person in the TV screen is a reresantation if Julius Malema, by him saying "im being targeted by the forces of darkness!" his reffering to witchcraft. Zapiro turned it into a joke by putting a guy on the couch making a comment about his statement.

Art is creating beautiful and significant things that
give artist the chance of expressing themselves with what in their minds.
Photography can be seen as art because people have to be creative in taking

Science photography
Scientists use photography observes evidence that is a
heart of modern scientific method. On the other hand, photography has always
been valued as an objective technique of observation. Photography is also good
in science because it can even slow down and view different scientific things
that one cannot view with the human eye and it can also view events that are
ordinarily too quick for the eye.

Art deco
Art deco was invented just after when the World War I ended.
The ending of the war created a more active lifestyle and colourful geometric
style that influenced the American culture as well as the architecture and
fashion.
When the war ended, life in Europe and America changed
drastically as opposed to the technological advances. Paris became the world’s
leadership in fashion and design. The name ‘art deco’ became after the 1966
exhibition, referring to the ‘Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et
Industriels Modernes’ that took place in 1925 that was a showcase for new and original
works of all types.
Art deco affected all areas of designs that include
architecture, Industrial design, visual arts, graphic arts as well as film.
Paul Follot(1877-1941)
Paul Follot is an Art deco
traditionalist. His work was inspired bye Neo-Gothic and also gained his stride
during the Belle Epoque. Follot made
objects of silver, textiles and bronze as well as Jewelry for Meier-Graefe.
Paul was inspired or influenced by Maurice Dufrene’s work that also worked in
Meier-Graefe.
Paul Follot is best known for his
legacy in furniture, today we might use the phrase ‘Follot-style’ to describe
works which pay homage to Follot’s distinctive flair. Paul shifted throughout
his career ranging from the classic and restrain through to the modernist and
bold. In 1910, a more reticent, more classical style shows up in his work, a
tendency that increased with the rest of Art Deco.
Whereas Art Nouveau is mostly known for its curvilinear
style of design, Art Deco was more geometrical.
Art deco moved away from pastels and organic forms of Art
Nouveau and embraced many influences and different styles of the movements of
the 20th century that includes the following;
Constructivism, Cubism, Futurism, etc. Unlike other designs and movement that
had political or philosophical roots or intentions of some sort, Art deco was
purely decorative.
