For Design Stories, we were given the task of choosing 4-8 poster designs from our book to present in curated form so the reader comes away from the experience with a new understanding of the topic. This was inspired by visiting artist David Gatten's films. We were lucky enough to have David spend the afternoon with us during Thursday's class before he went downstairs to give a talk and have a legitimate screening. We chatted about his process, research methods, and production methods, and then he was kind enough to show us two of his films.
I chose to make my curating project about the evolution of Art Nouveau, highlighting how artists broke from traditional painting and, through experimentation & embracing external (outside Europe) influences, developed a commercial art style the public could connect with and respect.
