...Modernism & Art Deco Report Paper History of Graphic Design Razan El Hout & Sherine Karout What is Modernism? Modernism is a up-to-date philosophical movement, founded in the Western Society, specifically Latin America; Mexico, Scandinavia and other places, during the early 19th till the early 20th centuries that sought towards innovative and upgraded ways to change their atmospheres. What helped modernism to develop was the fact that it happened during the industrial revolution. The movement prohibited enlightenment thinking as well as religious beliefs. All fields relating to activities and designs were developing in a new modern way. Domains such as: architecture, literature, religion and faith. Poet Ezra Pound, was a touch stone towards what it saw as the new obsolete culture of the past. By 1930, popular culture entered along with the stream of Modernism. Defining popular culture as the wholeness of ideas, viewpoints, outlooks, memes, images and other phenomena that are within the majority of a given culture, especially Western culture of the early to mid 20th C. This term traditionally has denoted the education and the general culture of the lower classes, meaning everything was mass-produced. An important alteration happened during this period was the collaboration of modern production/technology into our daily lives.

...Design of the past: Contemporary styles can be replicas of past styles, contain elements and features of past styles; or they can be an eclectic mix of past and contemporary styles. Being able to recognise these influences and features will help you understand the source of design so that you can speak “design” language to your clients and create your own designs with whatever elements and features you like. It will give you the freedom to be creative. You might identify a building that was built during the Georgian era, or was built later but contains Georgian (neoclassical) features: a pediment, façade with columns; symmetrical windows...

...BEAUX ARTS A very rich, lavish and heavily ornamented classical style taught at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris in the 19th century The term "Beaux Arts" is the approximate English equivalent of "Fine Arts." The style was popularized during the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. One outgrowth of the Expo was the reform movement advocated by Daniel Burnham, the City Beautiful Movement. Very influential in the US in that many of the leading late 19th century architects had been trained at Ecole des Beaux Arts, e.g., Richard Morris Hunt (the first American to study there) , H. H. Richardson (the second American to study there, but who chose to develop his own style, "Richardsonian Romanesque") and Charles McKim, More than any other style (except perhaps the Chateauesque), the Beaux Arts expressed the taste and values of America's industrial barons at the turn of the century. In those pre-income tax days, great fortunes were proudly displayed in increasingly ornate and expensive houses. Broadly speaking, the term "Beaux Arts" refers to the American Renaissance period from about 1890 to 1920 and encompasses the French Renaissance, Italian Renaissance, and Neoclassical Revivals. In Buffalo, the movement was featured at the Pan-American Exposition in 1901. Features: * Symmetrical facade * Roofs: flat, low-pitched; mansard if modeled after French Renaissance Revival * Wall surfaces with decorative garlands, floral patterns, or cartouches dripping with...

...of wealth this reveals that the returns on ones employment or work is not just on wages, but in fact work is a major institution in society. The robots and automation has altered the job market requiring fewer workers or no workers to complete a task or a set of task from building cars to trading on Wall Street. Also with every new automation process one has to learn or become educated on new processes and many are being left behind due to the lack of knowledge in such mass growth of technology. It is safe to say that there will be jobs in the future, however the caliber will changes.

...Brandon Oppel COMM 101 10/11/14 Interior Designer I. Introduction: a) I have an addiction. I know, it’s shocking to think that I have a problem like this. So, what is my addiction, this thing that I’m so obsessed with that I often stay up late, ignore my family, and don’t get my work done? I am addicted … to watching HGTV. I can’t help myself! I absolutely love interior design, and I’m constantly working on house projects (which drives my family a little crazy sometimes). I’ve often thought about becoming an interior designer, especially when the designing competition show Design Star first came on HGTV. In fact, one of my favorite designers, David Bromstad, was the very first winner of Design Star. b) So I decided to do a little research on this profession to discover what this profession exactly entails, such as the national employment rates, definition and education requirements and what kind of salary we could expect to make if we were to pursue the dream of being an interior design. II. Definition and Required Education: a) Plan, design, and furnish interiors of residential, commercial, or industrial buildings. Formulate design which is practical, aesthetic, and conducive to intended purposes, such as raising productivity, selling merchandise, or improving life style. May specialize in a particular field, style, or phase of interior design. b) Show pictures of rooms created by interior designers. c) Associate degree required (completion of...

...Humanity is forever changing, growing and transforming, and so is the concept of modernism. It was only in the latter half of the nineteenth century, namely, when society first witnessed or gave theory to this multifaceted change. Multifaceted because it effected a diverse range of innovative and experimental practices in the visual arts, literature, design and architecture. New genres and styles were being invented and combined to push preconceived ideas and traditions. As society started to accept these changes, the world saw a rapid growth in urbanisation and industrialisation. In fact Wallace. J, wrote ‘ in examine the spaces of modernism, the city is an almost obligatory starting point’ (2011). The many new technologies that were were being invented during the early 20th Century increased the development and manufacturing of cities sevenfold. Changing cities meant changing cultures. People were living like never before. The modern city was a exceptional space for its facilitation of new forms of culture. After the second world war, the art world witnessed the styles and creative practices of European culture shift to America. American modernism like modernism in most areas of the world is a trend of thought that humans have the power to create, shape and improve their environment. Foster, .R did state ‘What distinguishes American modernism is the unifying theme of a conscious search for identity” (2003). Meaning artists and architectures searched for what it meant to...

...amused at the spectacle of a Boy sitting on Toad. Malcolm Parr talked of hearing Vyse, ‘shouting the odds’ on the other side of the party wall, and accusing Parr of fatuity. In the following year, Parr’s figure group, Boy and Toad brought him a further measure of success. The Times newspaper reported that Queen Mary on her recent visit to the Exhibition of Modern Trade and Studio Pottery “purchased a figure piece by Mr H Parr and presented it to the Institute’s Permanent Collection of examples of Modern Industrial Art.”30 Parr Primavera Parr had a second exhibit (RA1283), at the RA, in 1926, a female nude modelled as an allegory of spring, and although seen by the Queen, was perhaps not entirely to H M’s taste (Fig. 74). At the time, Primavera of all Parr’s creations, was judged a marvellous accomplishment. The image combines simplicity with stateliness, and Primavera’s image remains in the mind’s eye long after one has left the exhibition. The design in reality is ‘Art Deco’, moreover, it has its roots set firmly in classical sculpture. Here Parr is at at the peak of his creativity; his touch delicate and assured. He presents his interpretation of Primavera, a slim nubile goddess gently disseminating springtime over the waiting earth. About her feet, animals have gathered to welcome the return of Spring. During discussions with the author concerning his father’s figurative work, Malcolm Parr remarked that his mother, Emily Kate, had modelled and decorated the rabbits and flowers seen...

What is interesting is it gives the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibrating patterns. Art Deco is a style of decorative art developed originally in the 1920s with a revival in the 1960s, marked chiefly by geometric motifs, curvilinear forms, sharply...
