WORKSHEET

MAKE YOUR OWN READYMADE

Bicycle Wheel is the first of Duchamp's readymades—objects (sometimes
manufactured or mass-produced) selected by the artist and designated as art.

Select three objects from your surrounding environment to designate as

readymades.

Reflect. Brainstorm a list of titles for your readymades. Display or take snapshots of
your readymades along with their titles.

Did wordplay or humor play a role in the titles you selected? How do the titles affect
the way these everyday objects are perceived by yourself and others?
