RJA #9b: Argument

Research Question:
Is Readymades Art?

Thesis: Readymades in the Dada movement should be rethought as art, because it lacks creativity and is not art.

Ethos: It was a form of protest for these artists. A lot of my support will come from the historical point of view but also there will be support from people who critiqued the the art or movement.

Pathos: It would be how the artist felt about ww1 and how they could contribute the dislike about the war. This will be some what hard point of view to put in the paper because art is subjective; however, if a person is very passionate about this subject the more interested they are and will have an opinion on i t.

Logos: What these artistes were doing was there way of getting there feelings out about the war. Alot of this will be from the historical side of the movement.

RJA #8 Quotations, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

1. Quotations

1a. Quotations with a ellipsis

Dada was, officially, not a movement, its artists not artists and its art not art. That sounds easy enough, doesn't it? Of course, there is a bit more to the story of Dadaism than this simplistic explanation. Taken from http://arthistory.about.com/cs/arthistory10one/a/dada.htm

The Dada movement was started by a bunch of artist the wanted to protest world war one. So Dada was born, but "Dada was officially, not a movement its artists not artists and art... which is also known as anti-art or readymades.

1b. Quotations with brackets

The Dada movement was started by a bunch of artists that wanted to protest world war one. So Dada was born, but "Dada was officially, not a movement [ or anti-art movement] its artists not artists art not art.

2. Paraphrasing

2a. We, who are non-artists, will create non-art - since art (and everything else in the world) has no meaning, anyway. About the only thing these non-artists all had in common were their ideals. They even had a hard time agreeing on a name for their project. "Dada" - which some say means "hobby horse" in French and others feel is just baby talk - was the catch-phrase that made the least amount of sense, so "Dada" it was.
http://arthistory.about.com/cs/arthistory10one/a/dada.htm

Basically these non-artists did not agree on anything they even had a hard time
figuring out what to name the movement, but oddly enough ideals is what band them together, however they agreed to a name which is Dada and Dada means hobbyhorse in french.


3. Summarizing

The public, of course, was revulsed - which the Dadaists found wildly encouraging. Enthusiasm being contagious, the (non)movement spread from Zurich to other parts of Europe and New York City. And just as mainstream artists were giving it serious consideration, in the early 1920s, Dada (true to form) dissolved itself.
http://arthistory.about.com/cs/arthistory10one/a/dada.htm
When the Dada movement and artist appeared in public the general population was pretty disgusted with the art that came out, but apparently someone liked the art because it spread all the way to America New York in fact. Once the art movement caught on to the cool train the original Dada artist abounded the style of art.

RJA #7 Evaluation of Sources

I am kind of disappointed with all my reaserch so far everything I saved on my Dilicious page is relevent to my subject; however, all the pages I saved are about the Dada movement and how it started but I have no information on the argumintive side of this paper, so I will have to go back through an research more to find papers and articales, books and so forth to find the argumentative side of this paper.
