9 BR recap

Stylisation


  • Art Nouveau



  • Kowhaiwhai




  • Beatriz Milhazes



You should have a beautiful research page done and in your folders that I can check off.

There are things you should be noticing about both art movements and the artist chosen;

  • forms are simplified, curves are amplified. 
  • geometry, pattern and repetition all strongly feature in all 3
  • there is no real use of three-dimensional space in any of these
Specific to each; Kowhaiwhai
- regulated circular curves
- principles of mathematics are employed exactlingly; rotation, scale, reflection, repetition, pattern
- the pattern, scale and proximity of the forms help to convey a story, whakapapa, or even emotion


Specific to Art Nouveau
- dominant tell-tale form is called a whiplash
- all derived from plant forms
- detail is more important than kowhaiwhai

Specific to Beatriz Milhazes
- patterns and forms are over-layed
- intersecting forms are a strong feature
- colour and layers of colour/texture are a feature
- composition is tightly balanced and intense
