Q. Choosing a particular period from 1800 to the present, in what ways has art or design responded to the changing social and cultural forces of that period? (2 specific examples)
The two examples I'm going to look at is the Russian Constructivist movement and the Bauhaus movement, paying close attention to the similarities and differences and also looking into the Vkhutemas school in Russia.
ISSUES DISCUSSED AT THE TUTORIAL
- Russian Revolution - Constructivist movement and Bauhaus movement
- Changing social and cultural forces
- 1917 Russian Soviet Revolution
- Lenins Decree for Art to be more prominent
- Birth of constructivism and vkhutemas?
- At the same time compare to Bauhaus and changing cultural forces in Germany
- Bauhaus/Vkhutemas and similarities
- Both forward thinking
- Influences of Bauhaus and Vkhutemas. e.g Eisensteins influence on film
- Both Bauhaus and forward thinking Russian art constructivist movement got closed down for social reasons and not out of choice.
- 2 specific examples when proving a point (you'll easily have more than 2 examples)
- 4 sources, 4 quotes
- Conclusion
*Use Wikipedia bibliography as a starting point on difficult subjects like
1500 words, for 24th February
Drop in tutorials after xmas for draft feedback.
I need to start thinking about this now and get started, I know what I want to say, it's just a matter of getting an essay plan and finding good sources. I need to find out more about the cultural forces behind the Bauhaus movement, not too in depth as it's only a 1500 word essay but something with substance. It's quite straightforward with how the Russian movement influenced art as we looked into this actual matter in a lecture.
