...Art Nouveau April 10, 2013 Response Paper 1. How does Arts and Crafts influence show in Art Nouveau? Arts and Crafts developed in England in the 1860s. Art Nouveau is a rejection of the European Academic Style. They are both decorative, influenced by medieval, pre-Raphaelite art movement and many other aspects. They can both be understood as reactions to the Industrial Revolution but more so the Arts and Crafts movement. The Arts and Crafts movement stressed the importance of beautiful, handmade crafts and Art nouveau eventually evolved from this, especially in architecture. These new age architects especially Gaudi saw the way architecture was being produced most notably that of the example district in Barcelona and was appalled by it. It was like the architecture of a systematic machine much like that of the industrial revolution and he did not agree with it. He saw architecture not only as a functional thing but also a breathing, living and beautiful thing much like that of the goods produced from the arts and crafts movement. 2. Which are the differences between A&C and Art Nouveau? Art Nouveau originates in France and is characterized by the floral, natural forms, whiplash curves and extravagant fluidity of line. It is mainly based on the principals of nature and the idea that buildings or architecture was more than a means of living but rather an interpretation of the living world. They sought to breathe beauty back into the world and to create a fluid...

...ART NOUVEAU. Art Nouveu as a style arose in the last decade of the 19th century primarily in France and Germany, quickly speading throughout Europe and onto America. It represented a definitive break from past academic traditions rooted in revivalism and classicism. Its fresh organic forms and bold design sensibilities was a long awaited opportunity for artists and designers, stifled by the mores and traditions of the acadamy, to move on. Its influnce on architecture, painting, typography, crafts etc was pervasive but short lived. That being said, it marked the beginning of the modern in style and with its drive to unify arts and craft helped to bring about movements like Bauhaus. The two recognized infuences on the creation of the Art Nouveau style were William Morris's arts and crafts movement, which rejected the ecessive ornamentation of Victorian decorative arts, and the vogue for Japanese prints with thier direct unadorned simplicty an colour schemes. There are many arguments as to what is definitively the first peice of Art Nouveau but it is generally accepted that Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo's book jacket on Wren's churches, with its floral designs, was a seminal manifestation of the style. One prime example of Art Nouveau that express many elements of the style, function and zeitgeist were the Paris metro stations designed by Hector Guimard. The functional elements such as the railings, lamposts and signage were mass produced and...

...Introduction Craft is considered to contain critical thinking that results in the authenticity of a product. A skill of which that is quickly beginning to be overridden by technology. For Rossi, Catherine in The Architectural Review; “ For me, to consider craft is simply to be interested in making; to understand things, be they chairs or cities, as artefacts that demand asking how they have been made by whom and what their making tells us about the societies they have been made for.” To her, The significance of making is that it has culture which defines a society. Yet, over the years the value of craft has significantly plummeted. According to Adamson,Glenn former head of the Museum of Arts and Design, since 2004 has been saying goodbye...

...19th Century Art Education, Industrial Art or Fine Art? Varick Taylor East Carolina University MAED Art 6800 History and Philosophy of Art Education Abstract As an art educator in the today’s public school system, I feel that it is my responsibility to introduce and allow my students to explore the arts from the past and the present. I want them to learn a variety of art making techniques and art history. I also want to prepare them for future by giving them exposure to possible career choices that utilizes the arts. Therefore I feel it is important that my art classes allow students to be exposed to both the fine arts and design fields of the 21st century. 21st century technology like 19th century industrialization has influenced art education methods. The use of technology in classes is increasing each year. We are using design software to create both designs and fine art assignments on computers. In the 19th century, industrialization was one of the most important reasons why art became a part of public school education. Government leaders and the industry wanted America to able to compete with the superior European imports. As a result they felt that requiring drawing as a subject in public schools would help the U.S. in competing with Europe and balance trade. Knowing how much they wanted America to produce better products, I was puzzled when the Massacusetts did not model its art education after the France, whom was considered the best in producing superior product...

...Steine ARTS 105 March 30, 2015 Assignment #9 1. The world is a colorful landscape of different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. It's important to develop an appreciation for different cultures in order to become a well-rounded person who is sensitive to the unique qualities of others. One way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world. There are several ways to become knowledgeable about different cultures. One way is to observe a craft from a particular culture. Observing works by producers who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an authentic glimpse into the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people. 2. Craft and art originally shared the same meaning. It was during the Renaissance that painting, sculpture and architecture got labeled into the category of art and from there on the activities of making a chair, a rug, a bowl was separated into this other category called crafts. 1. But this distinction comes from a western tradition. 2. Many other cultures does not make this distinction. Example of Pomo Indians 3. And certainly we still consider ancient Greek vases to be art. There is no definite line that separates the two. Labels are a convenient way for people to talk label art. In fact with the feminist movement in the 70’s, women were bringing crafts back into the world of art blurring...

...Question 1: Discuss in detail how feminist art challenged the existing conventions and expectations of art practice (practice) The feminist art movement began in the 1960’s as a result of various factors that based around the central premise of supporting women’s empowerment and equality and aims to equalise women in society. Feminist art practice challenged the conventions and boundaries established by previous art movements like Renaissance and Modernism, these were periods in art which were strongly male driven and male dominated. Feminism challenged this standard to various extents, as in many ways women in the art world were not entirely respected and their practice could not produce ‘fine art’. Instead females artists were only associated...

...pollution, poverty, sickness and industrial accidents. The designers of these machines were rich factory owners who were skilled in mechanical design, rather than artistic design. At this point in time a man called William Morris stepped in and started a design movement known as The Arts and Crafts Movement in 1860. Morris didn't like the way the Industrial Revolution shaped the world, because the machines were ugly and all of the products they were producing were too, so he looked to the past for inspiration. He wanted to get rid of mass production and revive the crafts and skills of an older, pre-industrial era. He pledged himself to decorative arts, and rejected the machine. Morris was an upper class artist and poet who was well educated and fairly wealthy. He started a company called Morris and Co. He designed cloths, carpets, chairs, book covers, stained glass windows, and wall paper, which were all hand- made, and hand-painted with natural dyes. The company's designs were curved (no straight lines) and often carved by hand and therefore intricate. A lot of his work was floral, and depicted nature, as can be seen in his Tulip & Lily Carpet to the right. Tulip & Lily is one of the best-known Arts & Crafts Movement carpets, designed in 1875...

...William Burges (1827–81) was an English architect and designer, and one of the greatest of the Victorian art-architects. He sought in his work to escape from 19th-century industrialisation and the Neoclassical architectural style and to re-establish the architectural and social values of a utopian medieval England. He stands within the Gothic Revival tradition, his works echoing the Pre-Raphaelites and heralding the Arts and Crafts movement. His first major commission was Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Cork, in 1863. Burges's most notable works are Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch, both for John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute. Other buildings include Gayhurst House, Knightshayes Court, and St Mary's, Studley Royal. Many of his designs were never executed or were subsequently demolished, and his plans for the redecoration of the interior of St Paul's Cathedral were abandoned. He also designed metalwork, sculpture, jewellery, furniture and stained glass. Art Applied to Industry, a series of lectures he gave to the Society of Arts in 1864, illustrates the breadth of his interests. The revival of interest in Victorian art has led to a renewed appreciation of Burges and his worWilliam Burges (1827–81) was an English architect and designer, and one of the greatest of the Victorian art-architects.

...it could offer the Bauhaus a new school building. Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus in 1919 and its director until 1928, designed the building on behalf of the city of Dessau and in cooperation with Carl Fieger, Ernst Neufert and others in his private architectural practice – the Bauhaus did not have its own department of architecture until 1927. The Bauhaus workshops were integrated within the building’s interior design. The city of Dessau provided money for the new school building on a development site close to the train station and also for the Masters' Houses, and remained the owner of both properties. Designed in 1922 by Josef Hartwig, the best part about the chess pieces is that the design of each also indicates the type of movement it is capable of.

...Throughout history, the evolution of humankind has been observed to thrive off of the idea of social structure to develop an existence of logic that invents controversial topics. This trend could be traced back as far as the Renaissance in relation to artists vs. artisans, or the uprising of mass movements pertaining to equality in recent decades, and especially in current events where anyone and everyone is concerned with whether or not, “You can’t sit with us.” –Mean Girls (2003) There has always been a line drawn in the multi-faceted socio-political realm, on to the linear plane that is life.

...philosophy based in the simplistic beauty of things—the pursuer may, in the end and without notice, emerge uglier than ever before. Dorian, the once wide-eyed innocent, buckles and caves in to depravity while practicing an aesthetic lifestyle, despite the beauty that such a life idea claims. I began to wonder what Oscar Wilde intended to convey with his portrayal of the Aesthetic Movement incarnate and its often harsh consequences, especially given the well-documented involvement of Wilde in promoting aestheticism in his contemporary society. The juxtaposition of Wilde’s support for the Aesthetic Movement with Dorian’s corruption at the hands of it provided a great jumping-off point and a lingering question with which to begin an essay. What exactly is Wilde’s view of aestheticism when one bears in mind the story of Dorian Gray? In writing my essay, I realized Wilde’s outlook is not as straightforward as it may first appear. Throughout the writing process, a difficult task I faced was to encapsulate the aesthetic position when the philosophy often meant different things to different people. In researching the movement, I found that the moral philosophies of various proponents of aestheticism often varied and, thus, it became difficult to nail down the aesthetic tenets and apply them to Dorian Gray. In retrospect, some observations about the philosophy may, consequently, appear too generalized. I was also challenged in the initial formulation of my argument. It was initially difficult trying...

... and music. The style began around 1600 in Rome, Italy and spread to most of Europe.[1] The popularity and success of the Baroque style was encouraged by the Catholic Church, which had decided at the time of the Council of Trent, in response to the Protestant Reformation, that the arts should communicate religious themes in direct and emotional involvement.[2] The aristocracy also saw the dramatic style of Baroque architecture and art as a means of impressing visitors and expressing triumph, power and control. Baroque palaces are built around an entrance of courts, grand staircases and reception rooms of sequentially increasing opulence. However, "baroque" has resonance and application that extend beyond a simple reduction to either style or period.[3] The word baroque is derived from the Portuguese word "barroco", Spanish "barroco", or French "baroque", all of which refer to a "rough or imperfect pearl", though whether it entered those languages via Latin, Arabic, or some other source is uncertain.[4] The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition thought the term was derived from the Spanish barrueco, a large, irregularly-shaped pearl, and that it had for a time been confined to the craft of the jeweller.[5] Others derive it from the mnemonic term "Baroco", a supposedly laboured form of syllogism in logical Scholastica.[6] The Latin root can be found in bis-roca.[7] In informal usage, the word baroque can simply mean that something is "elaborate", with many details,...
