This week we talked a lot about modernism and what makes things modern. I think it's fancinating that people are beginning to find that modernism really emerged during Romanticism, when artists begin to look to the present for inspiration rather than to the past. We also looked at the art movement Dada, which is one of my favorite styles of art. I think Duchamp's Fountain is so interesting because nothing else like it had been done before.
We also looked at some Calvin Klien ads from the 90's. Normally I would think nothing of these ads but after listening to the class discuss them I was able to see them differently. People mentioned that they are making fun of the working class which I never would have noticed. After hearing this I went through some of my fashion magazines to see if I could find similar "trashy chic" ads. I found a couple but not too many.
