Inspiration
The piece that inspired me was made by the famous Russian
painter, Wassily Kandinsky. He is well known for his abstract work. He also
taught at the Bauhaus school of art which relates to his passion of abstract.
Bauhaus also has many shapes and lines and this piece is simple yet strong with
its use of colours, shapes and lines which inspired me for my piece.
My poster is based on racism. Although many think it is not
something that is still existent, it is. My idea was to show that equality
should be a concept everyone lives by and racism should eventually fade away as
it is the shadow. My target audience is to the entire population, everyone
should take the time to accept every single individual as they are. Everyone
belongs to the same race which is the human race. This poser will be seen in
public transits and schools so it is seen on a daily basis so we can get a
quicker response and conclusion to the problem.

ABCD- Raoul Hausmann
Raoul Hausmann was born in Vienna on July 12th
1886. He was a very well known artist who was also a writer and inspired many. He was influenced by his father’s interest in
art as he was a painter. He made photo collages and was part of the Berlin Dada
which was an art movement of the early twentieth century. Hausmann liked to use
many different materials such as clippings, posters, photographs and other
materials in his works which were meant to be symbolic.
His work is very interesting and appealing but I found the
ABCD-Hausmann very interesting. It use in many similar tones of reds, orange,
pink and yellow give the piece a monochromatic look. It uses images and words
together to form a symbolic piece. It is a self portrait of himself. ABCD was influenced
by the avant garde throughout world war 1; a reference to individuals or pieces
that are original when it comes to art, culture and politics. This collage
includes a picture of his face and below this is a flyer that is advertising
his presentation of a poem “The Soul of Maragarine”. The letters ABCD is a dada
poem which is in between his teeth in this collage. To the left side of his
face you see the word “voce” meaning voice. This piece gives the voice of
wanting a revolution.
