Hey Elliot - All those sound interesting but are far too broad for this paper. Focus on a single piece: perhaps it is typical of work in one of these movements or by one of these designers. - Liz

ReplyDeleteso if i say i want to focus on joost schmidt's "Bauhaus Exhibition poster" and write about how it reflects the bauhuas movement, also explaining why it was a vessel for diverse movements like cubism, constructivism, and De Stijl. i would also delve into what i feel the poster means to me and what i felt it meant to the bauhaus movement, is this more specific?
ReplyDeleteIt is good to focus on that specific poster and discuss its relationship to modern movements. Think of it this way: if another graphic design student wanted to know what moderism means, and you could show him a copy of Schmidt's poster, what would you say about it? The student didn't ask what the poster means to you, specifically. He wants to know about modernism. Hope that helps.
