French Dada artist Marcel Duchamp was one of a group of artists who created art that ridiculed contemporary European culture and traditional art forms. It is said that the movement got its name when one of the artists randomly opened a dictionary and blindly pointed to the word dada. The word made no sense at all but the artists considered it an appropriate name for their work that commented on a culture that (so this group of artists thought) had lost its meaning and purpose. Duchamp is known for his "ready-mades"--artwork created with mass-produced items that are already made. One of Marcel Duchamp's bizarre artwork is the "Museum in a Suitcase (Box in a Valise, 1935-41)", a ready-made that is often referred to as a "portable museum." This box consists of miniature replicas, photographs, and color reproductions of Duchamp's work. In this article, the author relates how she borrowed Duchamp's boxed art idea for her high school students' art project.
