The clocks are melting and losing purpose, much like how the passage of time feels in dreams. Ants are seen on one of the clocks, which represents the decay of time. This also questions the existence of time as a concrete thing that is able to be measured with a clock, when really it is more complex and abstract.]]> 2018-03-06 00:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238408639 Salvador Dali, 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 (1937) amanda_aleksandrowic https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238412213 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 showcases the fragility of reality, as the face is completely being held up by crutches. This is an example of surrealism because it questions what reality really is, as well as exploring the realms of dreams and sleep.]]> 2018-03-06 01:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238412213 Salvador Dali, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘢𝘳 (1941) amanda_aleksandrowic https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238416604 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘢𝘳 reflects the anxieties of war by making many faces within each other, all of which look worried and ghoulish. This is an example of surrealism because it taps into the unconscious mind and the pure fear that resides there. Surrealism was different than other art movements because of the automatism that came with it. Because surrealism focused on the unconscious, automatism gave up artist control and planning of the painting, instead they give up control in making the art.]]> 2018-03-06 01:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238416604 𝘔𝘊𝘔𝘟𝘐𝘝 Phillip Larkin amanda_aleksandrowic https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238420890 "Never such innocence,

Never before or since,

As changed itself to past

Without a word – the men

Leaving the gardens tidy,

The thousands of marriages,

Lasting a little while longer:

Never such innocence again."

The themes of literature at the time were very dark, like the one above from Larkin. Because of the First World War, man's innocence is gone and can never come back. After the cruelties of the war -the destroying of the environment, machine guns, and poison gas- the world has become tainted and the innocence that once was is extinct.

This quote reflects the existentialism of the period, as many began to question the meaning of life and reality.

On the rug, the same pattern is repeated, the doors have a somewhat diamond shape, and the archways are made of straight lines rather than a smooth curve. The art deco movement is known for its geometric patterns, bold colors, and defined outlines.]]> 2018-03-06 02:17:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238427897 Niels Bohr amanda_aleksandrowic https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238431854 Bohr created a model of the atom, with electrons orbiting a nucleus. This undermined the Newtonian universe because Newton had measurable values, like mass and velocity, while with Bohr, the atom is too small to even been seen so the exact position of the components didn't really matter.]]> 2018-03-06 02:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238431854 Albert Einstein amanda_aleksandrowic https://padlet.com/amanda_aleksandrowic/xnrerfueh26l/wish/238438584 Einstein is most known for his Special and General Theory of Relativity and the concept of mass-energy equivalence. He challenged the Newtonian idea that space isn't affected by what is in it.

In Rite of Spring, the rhythms are brash and irregular, which contrasts the earlier music of Germany, with its smoother and slower rhythms.
