My subconscious sees in this picture the upperhalf of two people playing a guitars, on top of two cars, which are on top of a snow mobile with a X on it.

 The Dada movement was a protest against the bourgeois nationalist and colonialist interests, which many Dadaists believed were the root cause of world war 1, and against the cultural and intellectual conformity—in art and more broadly in society—that corresponded to the war. This picture was made in 1919 and it was about the society and cruelty and unfairness of it. This is a perfect representation of the Dada movement because this was what the movement about. It showed different pictures of what was going on back then and how it can relate to the dada movement.

This is a colorful artwork that I found online. In this picture there are a lot of colors. There are primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors. I think the artist of this painting was trying to create a homey feeling.  I think this is a picture happy picture of there homeland. With all the brilliant and bright colors I think this picture was created from happy anf joyful feelings.

My experience in creating my own portrait was very fun. I learned about portraiture and a little bit about it's 

history and it's evolvement. I also learned how to grid my portrait and draw it onto another gridded piece of 

paper. I painted my portrait with black, white, and a mixture of black/white to create a gray color. My portrait 

turned out quite well. My experience with portraiture i would have to say has been great.
