Assignment Description:

You will write a short essay to increase your ability to form connections between the art/design of the historic past, the present, and the future, expressing your own opinions and conclusions.

Assignment Brief (specifics):

· Research either social/moral concerns or the aesthetic concerns of contemporary design that were also reflected in historical art styles.

· Choose a current (within the past 25-30 years) , specific example from your design discipline that expresses that concern (for example, the lobby of a hotel; a designer’s couture collection; a line of décor objects from one design firm).

· In your short essay, you will compare and contrast the concerns of the past with current trends and concerns as seen in your example.

· Tell the reader how that concern is still relevant today.

· Examine how the artist/designer of the 21st century interacts with history and what our responsibilities or debts are to the art/design of the past.

· DON’T WRITE A REVIEW ABOUT THE HISTORICAL STYLE/PERIOD. If you do, you’ll get a failing mark.

· Your writing should be your opinions, conclusions, and/or reflections, expressed in your own words. You must defend your opinions and assertions with the current real-world example of design.

· There is no need to quote any other source.

Pick one of the following concerns: AESTHETIC or SOCIO-POLITICAL in a specific contemporary design

· The Beauty of Nature (Art Nouveau, Art Deco)

· The Beauty of the Machine and Geometry (Art Deco)

· The Importance of the Hand-made (Arts and Crafts Movement)

· Design Specific to Its Environment or Location (Organic Architecture)

Write 1-2 pages that clearly and completely express and explain in detail

· Why you believe this concern is important in your creative discipline today (important to the designer, the audience, the consumer or end-user, the discipline itself). Why do we need it? Why do we like it? How is it useful?

· How this concern is expressed in a specific, existing, contemporary design

· Refer to specific elements of the design in your analysis (color, line, editing, materials, etc.)

· How that contemporary design is similar to and/or different from examples from the historical period. Be specific!

· Import 3 or more images onto the second page of your essay that illustrate your assertions. Cite your source(s) for these images in captions (URL is fine).

· The first paragraph must have a topic sentence that tells the reader what the essay will explain/assert.
