-The most meaningful thing I learned was the Peter Behrens had a huge impact on the new century design because he included art into architecture, furniture, and other things. He also did all of his art work in his own house and designed everything which is pretty unique!
2. What questions remain in your mind after today's discussion about the American Art Nouveau movement, the German Art Nouveau movement or the work we studied in chapter 12?
-No questions as of right now.
3. Examples of modern day design which I admire and that I feel is influenced by any of these styles and explain why.
1.Cubism- Source first website listed. I think this shows cubism because there are geometric shapes and a broken human figure in this piece of artwork.
Definition= Boldly chiseled geometric planes, african masks, nature in cylinder and sphere and the cone, new approach to space and expressing human form, 2D, some figures seen from more than one view point.
(evolved into synthetic cubism- an object and its basic characteristics rather than its outward appearance)
2. Futurism- Source is second on the list. This is a good example of futurism because it's a poem and the artist used different type faces to catch the attention of the viewer. Some other styles of futurism is that there was typically bright colors of 3-4 used and there was typefaces over that.
Definition= Ideas and forms against the new realities of scientific and industrial society, bold face for violent noises and sounds, expressive power, free dynamic piercing words could be given the velocity of stars etc., concrete and expressive visual form has been a sporadic preoccupation of poets dating back to Greeks
3. Dada-Source is third on the list below. This dress is an example of dada because it stretches the line from ordinary to shocking. It looks like this dress is made out of newspaper which people normally wouldn't expect to see. Many people were against World War I so the writers and artists were concerned with shock, protest, and nonsense.
Definition= Anti-art, had strong negative and destructive element, shocking, protests, and nonsense, reject tradition sought complete freedom, rebelled against horrors of the world war, the decadence of European society, shallowness of blind faith in technology moral codes in continent in upheaval.
4. Surrealism- Source is 4th on the list below. Surrealism was based on personal communication to a mass audience that focused on emotional content, symbolism, or fantasy. This is an example of that because it's symbolism shows through the coke cans with the logo. The fantasy is that it's on the moon looking at earth and in space. The emotional content is suggesting to drink a coke.
Definition= Images whose emotional content, symbolism, or fantasy triggered a collective universal response in large numbers of people, major impact on photography and illustration.
5. Expressionism- Source can be found as the last one on the list. This was a movement based on emotional and personal responses. Color, drawing, and proportion were exaggerated or distorted for symbolic content. These artists were often sympathetic for the poor and social outcasts and did not like the authority of the military. This is an example of proportions that were distorted and the color and drawing is exaggerated.
Definition= Objective reality but subjective emotions and personal responses to subjects and events, color, drawing, and proportion were often exaggerated or distorted, and symbolic content was important, line and color were often pronounced color and value contrasts were intensified.
6. Plakastil-Poster style from Germay, reductive, flat-color, design from school in Germany, brilliant color.
7. Poster for the Allied Powers of WWI
-This poster was to save gas and implying that people at home could do things to help out their troops by doing things like saving gas.
8. Poster for Axis Powers of WWI
-This poster was to help get the ideal boy image into people's heads. It was a blonde haired blue eyed boy that was the ideal image for Hitler's German Nazi's. It was a way of getting people to follow the "correct way of life" that Hitler wanted from each of his citizens to get they to go to the Nazi schools. Also it was a way to get the Nazi symbol well known by people.
9. This image below is a monumental example of AM Cassandre's work because it's well-known because of Normady from the war and people associate advertising picking up around this time because they needed more people to sign up for war and combat.
