Week 2 Post

Since Surrealism was created from the art movement Dada, I decided to post a website that descibed this intense, confusing art style. Even the technic used to discover the name went along with the nonsense-type of movement.

This website is a detailed description of surrealism, which includes what it evolved from and where it went. I find it very helpful if you have no clue what surrealism is, or if you simply want to know more about it.

This is a websited that, once again, is in dedication to Salvador Dali. Although, this time, it just goes through a detailed description of his life. The website includes quotes and also some pictures of Dali.


Summary:
These three sites all share the same thing: a detailed answer to questions like, "Who was Salvador Dali?", "What is surrealism?", and "What is Dadaism?". I learned so much more about these things once I read these articles. I discovered more than a dozen quotes from Salvador Dali, and learned more about the angst of Dadaism. The surrealism site informed me on where surrealism went when the movement past. I would say, if you just wanted to know the main things of surrealism, these three websites would give you everything you need.
