Today in class, we started studying Art Deco (1925- 1940).
The term “art deco” was derived from the “Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industrial Modernes” which was held in Paris in 1925.
Art Deco visual motifs include geometric shapes, curves, Egyptian zigzags, sunbursts, lightning bolts, airbrushed ray bands, motion lines, aerodynamic and streamlined forms. Some examples are:
The second half of the class we split into two groups, and played a game, based on the visual motifs we see in every image. It became pretty competitive, but a great learning style.
