DADA!

Wild! Wonderful! Random! Fantastical and nonsensical! DADA was an art movement that emerged in the mid 1910’s pioneered by artists such as the Cabaret Voltaire collective and Marcel Duchamp. Dada enbraces subversion through nonsense. Today, we’ll be making Dada-inspired collages out of magazine cuttings, scrapbook paper, and so much more!
