Constructivism pt. 1 Constructivism began during 1919 in Russia. It was an art movement that changed the way art was used at the time. Instead of using art as a way to express ideas and thoughts, it was changed to be used as means of social change. Primarily, it was used to morph Russia into a communist society. Kino Glaz (1924)

Constructivism pt. 2 Materials used in Constructivists’ works were based on their capacities, which resulted in the way the materials acted in a piece. This became a major focus for Constructivist artworks, that is to say. Constructivists were focused on what the material does for an artwork and how it can be used to build upon what is already being used in the piece to draw in viewers eyes and attention.
