Peace Poster
Dada
Dada
• Began in 1916 as a negative reaction against the horrors of WWI
• Rejected reason and logic• Prized nonsense, irrationality, and intuition• Rejected prevailing standards in art• Anti-war• Anti-Bourgeois
Assignment
• Again, because Dada arose as a negative reaction to WWI, you are going to design a poster advertising the benefits of living in a period of Peace.
• What does peace mean?• What are conventional symbols of Peace?• Since Dada was unconventional, what are
some less common symbols of Peace?
Assignment Continued
• You need to find a variety of symbols for Peace that are NOT common.– No peace signs!– No doves!– No smiley faces!– No olive branches!
• The best way to go about this is to think of things that represent peace to YOU personally!
Assignment Continued
• Once you have identified some personal symbols for peace, arrange them into a composition:– Nothing smack in the middle– Include a background– Use a small, medium, AND large images– Crop images in 1/3’s, not in half
• Since this is a poster, you may include text, but choose your words carefully…try to choose words that pack a punch.
• Medium = Paint OR Colored Pencil
