Thoughts after today’s SM1701

      In today`s class, we learned about Dada and The Merzbau and so on. Kurt Schwitters`s art The Merzbau impressed me a lot. Schwitters himself has described it as his life's work. In the bulding,the ceilings and walls were covered with three dimensional shapes and filed with a variety of objects. Actually , I don`t think it looks beautiful,but it conveys a feeling of war, which causes people thinking. Maybe that is the reason that it become famous,noy just because it`s creative shape of building.

   Then I start thinking about the title of our course­­——CONTEMPORARY & NEW MEDIA ART. Which work can be one of this ? I think the artist should be creative enough to create a new style or a new form to express the art. What`s more, the work should convey an idea to the viewers. A surprise and a deep thought are enough to make a work succeed, and it may be a little difficult to achieve.
