Precisionism

 

 

• Precisionism was started up after world war 1 in the USA, but its term became known in the 1920s
• It was strongly influenced by cubism and futurism.
• It showed themes of modernisation and industrialisation within american landscapes, the art itself was made from sharply defined, precise, geometrical forms.

Likes and dislikes 

• I like how I can best relate this art movement to my future designs.
• I like how it draws inspiration from industrial buildings as it indicates the growing civilsation.
• I slightly dislike how it requires perspective to be extremely precise.

Optical art

 

 

• Optical art or op art is an art style that uses the idea of optical illusions.
• Op art started around the 1930s, but it wasn't referred as op art until around the 1960s.

Likes and dislikes

• I like the illusionary idea which provides some entertainment.
• I dislike the fact it only uses tones, even though that method is effective for this kind of art.

Surrealism

 

• Surrealism is a cultural movement developed in the 1920s.
• The work of surrealism produced an element of surprise, abnormal imagery and unexpected juxtapositions.
• The term of surrealist was devised by a poet called Guillaume Apollinaire

Likes and dislikes

•  I like the manipulation of common things with more then what is expected is very interesting and appealing (e.g. looks like an island with houses but it is actually a dinosaur).
• I like the mixture of fantasy and normal entities, this provides an audience with the means to let them express their imaginations.
• I dislike how weird the art can become at times, even if they have deep meanings.
