In college we are looking at links between art movements and how they have influenced artists today i decided to look at Fauvism and cubism to start it off.
It was produced by a group of artists from 1905 to 1910, it uses strong contrasting colours and heavy brushwork. When critic Louis Vauxcelles saw the work of Henri Matisse and Andre Derain he said there work was like les fauves (‘the wild beasts’) which coined the name fauvism.

Fauvism:
 Cristopher Kane Matisse inspired dress - La Danza
Cristopher Kane dress inspired by Matisse's Blue Nude.

Sonia Delaunay designs always contained a juxtaposition of geometric shapes and squares from Cubism, and colours and distortions from Fauvism. Her designs were popular within the French film industry, with actresses including Nancy Cunard and Gloria Swanson I love that these combine two of the movements i am looking into.







 Lulu's.com outfit is inspired by Fauvism art.








Cubism: Cubism was created by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914. By breaking objects and figures down the artists showed different viewpoints at the same time within the same space, suggesting their three dimensional form, Highlighting the two dimensional flatness of a canvas, instead of creating the illusion of depth. 

 Fashion photographer Eugenio Recuenco created a photo series inspired by famous Cubism portraits. The fashion photographs draw from the postures,moods and clothing of the paintings, each offering something unique. 







Another Photographer inspired by cubism is Christian Tagliavini, Swiss-Italian designer and photographer, created a collection of images influenced by cubism, 17th century, and 50s fashion. He creates cardboard and paper constructions from scratch. http://www.christiantagliavini.com/



I actually came across these when i was researching for another project i am working on, i was looking into table ware and i discovered these designed by Svetlana Koženová and produced in a small factory in the Czech town of Dubí.
The company Specializes in Czech cubism-inspired tableware and accessories, the company was founded by Laura Kubica Grigerova.

Alice Potter

. Digital Media . Illustration . Surface Pattern . Alice Potter   I decided to start my research with Alice Potter. I was interested in Alice Potter's work because it is very different to what i usually look at.  Potter is a London based freelance illustrator and children's wear print designer. Design is something i am not sure i have an eye for, i do appreciate it but i don't tend to find myself attracted to it, or give it as much thought as i probably should. http://alicepotter.co.uk https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/AlicePotter I love the colours in this one above, i like how simple it is, but it still translates as an apple. I like the dot print i think it adds a kind of sweetness to the design as well as add something to the flatness of it. I really like these, i love how happy they look because of the use of colour.  Potter draws her work out in her sketch book and then moves onto illustrator where she uses the pen ...

Art & Design Portfolio - Sam Cornwell (Digital)

I decided to start my research on paper based and digital portfolios by first looking at a digital portfolio. One artist who came into the college to do a talk was a photographer called Sam Cornwell, he took us through his digital portfolio. I wanted to think about why his portfolio was digital and not paper based. One of the biggest advantages of a digital portfolio is the accessibility of it. It is easy to send out to employers or people wishing to view it. It is digital so it can easily be send to someone via email or put on a USB and accessed that way. Another reason is unlike a paper based portfolio there is more than one, it is easy to dispatch without spending money on paper to print. It is also instant, you might have to wait a few days for a paper port folio to be sent by mail or spend money on travel to bring it to the person wishing to view it. With a digital portfolio one click and it is sent! I went onto Sam Cornwell's page and found out his portfolio is on his web...

Trying out Wine Glass Reflection.

I decided to look at reflection in wine glasses, i wanted to look at attractions and historical buildings. I started with the new wall mural that was painted near the high street.    I decided to play around with editing on iphoto, i boosted the contrast and played around with the filters. Another one i decided to crop a bit more to get a close up of the reflection in the glass.   I then decided to sharpen the image up making it stand it a bit more. again on iphoto.   I then moved on to the war memorial near the center of town, i wanted to capture the reflection of the shape of the building, as i found it quite an interesting shape. I decided to crop this image and use a filter on my phone just to play around with the settings on my phone, i liked the cropping but was unsure if the colours worked well in the image and thought about making it sepia or black and white, but i don't want to many black and white images. I then decide...
