Architechture timeline - 20th century

Futurism 

Futurist architecture is an early 20th century form of architecture born in Italy.
Characteristics include strong chromaticism, long dynamic lines, suggesting speed, motion, urgency and lyricism.
 London Aquatics centre is an example of futurism architecture. 

1909 - 1944

Amsterdam School

Created in the Netherlands
b include asymmetrical compositions, use of general cubic or cylindrical shapes, flat roofs, use of reinforced concrete, metal and glass frameworks often resulting in large windows in horizontal bands, an absence of ornament or mouldings, a tendency for white or cream render, often emphasised by black and white photography.
An example of this is Het Scheepvaarthuis

1910 - 1930

Modernism

Modernism is the single most important new style or philosophy of architecture and design of the 20th century.
The style is characterised by: 
INSPIRED BY FUNCTION, SIMPLICITY IN FORM AND DESIGN, NOTHING TO HIDE, LOVE OF ALL THINGS LINEAR, BOLD ROOF LINES, WINDOWS AS DESIGN, CREATIVE OPEN FLOOR PLANS, POST-AND-BEAM ARCHITECTURE, REVAMPED OUTDOOR SPACE, FOCUS ON MATERIALS

1920 -

An example of this is habitat 67

Bauhaus 

Bauhaus style is still in use to this day, modern architecture most of the time features 

key characteristics of Bauhaus
 are generally, Bauhaus buildings have flat roofs, smooth façades, and cubic shapes colours are white, gray, beige, or black, floor plans are open and furniture is functional, popular construction methods of the time—steel-frame with glass curtain walls—were used for both residential and commercial architecture.

1919 - 1933

An example of this is - ultra modern 05

Art Deco -

 decorative style of bold geometric shapes and bright colours.. The style spread across Europe to the United States and Britain, where it became a favourite for building types associated with the modern age: garages, airports, cinemas, swimming pools, office buildings, department stores, power stations and factories. There were overlaps with Modernism, with the use of clean lines and minimal decoration, but the style also lent itself well to buildings associated with entertainment, providing glamorous interiors for hotels, restaurants and luxury apartments. Lighting was also a key feature with much made of neon strip lighting to emphasise the streamlined nature of the designs.

1920 - 1940

An example of this is the Chrysler building

Nazi Architecture 

Charerteristics include Streamlining, Bold shapes, Colour, Geometric designs, Decoratio
Nazi architecture was an architectural plan which played a role in the Nazi party's plans to create a cultural and spiritual rebirth in Germany as part of the Third Reich. 

An example of this is Speer rally ground

Googie - 

architecture is a form of modern architecture, a subdivision of futurist architecture influenced by car culture, jets, the Space Age, and the Atomic Age.

1950s - 1960s 

An example of this is - http://all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Saving-Googie-Architecture-Stardust.jpg

Brutalism - 

Brutalist architecture is a movement in architecture that flourished from the 1950s to the mid-1970s, descending from the modernist architectural movement of the early 20th century. The term originates from the French word for "raw" in the term used by Le Corbusier to describe his choice of material (raw concrete). Although the Brutalist movement was largely dead by the mid-1980s, having largely given way to Structural Expressionism and Deconstructivism, it has experienced an updating of sorts in recent years.

High Tech - 

High-tech architecture, also known as Late Modernism or Structural Expressionism, is an architectural style that emerged in the 1970s, incorporating elements of high-tech industry and technology into building design. They included the prominent display of the building's technical and functional components. Glass walls and steel frames were also immensely popular. Buildings designed in this style usually consist of a clear glass façade, with the building's network of support beams exposed behind it. Perhaps the most famous and easily recognized building built in this style is I.M. Pei's Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong. The World Trade Center in New York City, although generally considered to be an International Style building, was technically a Structural Expressionist design due to its load-bearing steel frame.

 Blobitecture -

Blobitecture a movement in architecture in which buildings have an organic, amoeba-shaped, building form.Though the term 'blob architecture' was in vogue already in the mid-1990s, the word blobitecture first appeared in print in 2002,

An example of this is Selfridges Birmingham

Digital editing - FMP

I firstly opened up the photo in Abode Photoshop, and selected the lasso tool.

I selected the area I wanted to remove by making an area to highlight what I wanted to delete.

I then deleted the area, I think this looks better now.

This looks much better as it doesn't have the unwanted background in the back now, It also looks like a normal picture.

Presenting artwork - Sallys lesson - FMP

Presenting artwork - How to window mount

You will need

1. A cutting matt
2. A bevel cutter ad guide ruler
3. A scalpel
4. A sharp pencil 
5. Sticky tape
6. Mount board

1. Measure your artwork width and height, including space you want to leave around the artwork.
2. Next measure your width of the mount card, and draw centre point lines (guides) to use as a starting point, make sure your pencil marks are on the back of the card
3. Refer back to the artwork measurements and half the width, mark the cut lines on your mount card by measuring the half width either side of the centre guide
4. Now mark the top horizontal line to be cut, in most circumstances the top should be smaller then the bottom, sometimes this rule will be need to be broke so use your judgement
5. Place your mount board on a cutting matt face down so you can see your cut lines, make sure the cutting matt is clean, place the bevel cutter guide on to the mount guide 
6. Continue to cut all edges making sure you rotate the mount board anti clockwise so that the blade cutter is running over the aperture, once all lines are cut the aperture should fall out
7. Carefully stick the artwork to the back of the mount, making sure you line it up correctly before taping down all sides.

Health & Safety

• Do not leave blades exposed
• Always cut away from you
• Dispose of blunt or broken blades correctly using safe disposal containers never put old blades in a waste paper bin
• Ensure all equipment is returned to the correct storage place after use.
• Sharp containers should be clearly marked and blades stored in appropriate boxes/containers

How to float mount guide - 

You will need 

1. A cutting matt
2. A metal (safety) rular
3. A scalpel
4. A sharp pencil
5. Newspaper
6. Spray adhesive
7. Spray booth or well ventilated area

How to foam mount

1. If the artwork is rolled, roll it out on to a table and weigh it down with books to flatten out the curl. Do this several days in advance to ensure you have a flat surface that won't keep curling up on you as you begin to mount, if your work has a white edge that you do not wish to keep, leave it for now and trim off later
2. Place the foam board on a flat surface (where possible use self adhesive foam board)
3. Take the artwork, some newspaper and spray mount outside ready for the application of adhesive spray. This must be done in a well ventilated area due to health and safety regulations. If you have a spray booth then the artwork can be sprayed indoors. Lay the newspaper down on a flat surface and place the artwork face down on it, lightly sprat the back of the work following the directions on the back of the spray can. Pick the artwork up by two corners and carry back to foam board. 
4. Carefully position one edge of the artwork along the edge of the foam bard (its better to leave a little foam board around the edge of the ring as this will be trimmed off later) whilst ensuring that the rest of the rock does not touch the surface of the board. You may need to ask someone t help if you are mounting a large piece of work. Gently lower the artwork whilst ensuring that air bubbles and/or wrinkles are not forming. Its a good idea to run your hand over the print (from centre outwards) to help release any trapped air. But, this must be done very gently either wearing lint free gloves or placing a can sheet of newsprint or cartridge paper over the artwork.
5. Using a sharp scalpel, metal ruler and cutting mat, trim off any unwanted foam board around the edge of your artwork. Its a good idea to place the ruler on the edfe of the print itself (ruler actually on your work) and cut the edge with a slight angle on the blade. This will give you a sightly beveled edge on the foam board which looks a little more professional when using the cheer boards as you won't be able to see the foam board from the front. Make sure the ruler won't mark your work and use that clean sheet of extra paper to protect your work.

• Do not leave blades exposed
• Always cut away from you
• Dispose of blunt or broken blades correctly using safe disposal containers never put old blades in a waste paper bin
• Ensure all equipment is returned to the correct storage place after use.
• Sharp containers should be clearly marked and blades stored in appropriate boxes/containers

Screenprint - Tell a story

Screen Printing

equipment needed; spoon, acrylic paint, acrylic medium, squeegee, packaging tape.

The screen is made from a fine mesh material which is fixed to a metal frame. A stencil is placed under the screen and ink is forced through the stencil on to the material below. Screen printing with stencils is best for blocks of colour.

Firstly your positive film positive used will be exposed and will harden the light sensitive emulsion on to the tight fabric which is already on the metal frame, then you have to tape up all the yellow areas and the sides of the metal frame. Once you have done this you can then put your mix of acrylic ink with acrylic medium on to the top of the frame and then squeegee the ink across the screen stencil forcing the ink through the open areas, then lift your frame back up and squeegee ink back across to keep the screen wet otherwise it will dry up.

Traceys Lesson - War of the Worlds

George Orwell - Nineteen Eighty Four 

One of the most influential dystopian novels ever written, 1984 has had a profound effect on the world.

Published in 1949 many of its concepts have entered modern day language. Big Brother, doublethink, thoughtcrime, Newspeak and Room 101.

Orwellian is now a term to describes official deception, secret surveillance, and manipulation of the past by a totalitarian or authoritarian state.  Orwell hoped that by writing 1984 he’d help stop such a state ever coming to pass.

Dada - 

1. 
   Dada was an artistic and literary movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland. It was as a reaction to World War I and the nationalism that many thought had led to the war. Influenced by other avant-garde movements -such as Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism, and Expressionism. There was many outcomes such as performance art to poetry, photography, sculpture, painting, and collage. Dada's aesthetic, marked by its mockery of materialistic and nationalistic attitudes, proved a powerful influence on artists in many cities, including Berlin, Hanover, Paris, New York, and Cologne, all of which generated their own groups. The movement dissipated with the establishment of Surrealism.
   These are all artists that had an influence Francis Picabia, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Andre Breton, Hans Arp, Tristan Tzara, Kurt Schwitters, Hugo Ball, Hannah Hoch
