What Is Bauhaus?

            Bauhaus was a design school that emerged in Germany in 1919. Bauhaus designer and their student broke from traditional and develop a very modernist style. Their primary intention was to integrate art, technology and craftsmanship by ignoring precedent and generating a new design philosophy. The innovative ideas ranged from architecture to furniture design to typography. That design of any sort ought to be considered a high art as does painting and sculpture. The influence of Bauhaus is modern buildings, offices and pieces of furniture draw heavily on the style put forth by Bauhaus. (L.S.Wynn, 2003)

              In core objective was radical concept to reimagine the material world to reflect the unity of all the arts. Described a utopian craft guild combining architecture, sculpture, and painting into a single creative expression. Bauhaus combined elements of both fine art and design education. Bauhaus theory, included metal working, cabinetmaking, weaving, pottery, typography, and painting wall. A vision of bridging the gap between art and industry by combining crafts and fine art. (Winton, 2000)

            The Bauhaus movement, fine art, such as architecture and design were held in higher esteem than craftsmanship, example painting and woodworking. All craft including art, architecture and geometric design, could be brought together and mass-produced. Bauhaus movement is characterized by economic sensibility, simplicity and a focus on mass production. Actually, Bauhaus is an inversion of the German term, “HAUSBAU”, means “building house” or house construction. The Bauhaus movement teaches “truth to materials” as a core tenet, which means that material should be used in its most appropriate and “honest” form, and nature should no be changed. Example, supportive materials such as, steel should be exposed and not hidden within the interior framework of a piece of furniture. (Fire, 2012)

             The Bauhaus  movement transformed the designed and production of modern furniture by incorporating the use of steel as frame and supports for table, chairs, sofas and even lamps. The use of machine made, mass-produced steel tubing created simple forms that required little handcrafting or upholstery and contributed to the streamlined modern look of Bauhaus furniture. The movement still influence modernist architecture and technology, it has been most influential in modern furniture design. Bauhaus bridge the gap between art, industry, design and functionally. (Fire, 2012)

Graphic Act :- TASK 1 - What is Design

What Is Design?

            Design is realization of a concept, idea into a configuration, drawing, model, mould, pattern, plan or specification (on which the actual or commercial production of an items is based) and which helps achieve the item’s designed objective. (Design, 2014)

Design could be viewed as an activity that translates an idea into a blueprint for something useful, whether it's a car, a building, a graphic, a service or a process. The important part is the translation of the idea, though design's ability to spark the idea in the first place shouldn't be overlooked.(What is Design)

History Of Design

Historical is a comprehensive collection, which begins with the reform movements of the late 19th Century, Art Nouveau, Jugendstil and the Arts & Crafts movement in Europe and America. Early 20th Century Avant-garde design is represented with the works of the Wiener Werkstätte founded by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser. The purist styles of the late teens and 1920s include the Bauhaus and De Stijl movements. European and American Art Deco and Post-war design through the 1970’s is featured in both furniture and applied arts. (Historical of Design)

Graphic Act :- TASK 1 - What Is Graphic

What Is Graphic?

            Graphic is relating to visual art, especially involving drawing, engraving, or lettering. Example of Graphic is like visual, symbolic, pictorial, depictive, illustrative, diagrammatic, drawn and written, in graphic written is representation of language.  A graphic is an image or visual representation of an object. Therefore, computer graphics are simply images displayed on a computer screen. Graphics are often contrasted with text, which is comprised of characters, such as numbers and letters, rather than images. (Reseller SolidWorks Free Training, 2009)

            Computer graphics can be either two or three-dimensional. Early computers only supported 2D monochrome graphics, meaning they were black and white (or black and green, depending on the monitor). Eventually, computers began to support color images. While the first machines only supported 16 or 256 colors, most computers can now display graphics in millions of colors. (Reseller SolidWorks Free Training, 2009)

History Of Graphic   

          "vivid," 1570s (implied in graphically), from Latin graphicus "picturesque,"from Greek graphikos "of or for writing, belonging to drawing,picturesque," from graphe "writing, drawing," from graphein "to write"(see graphy ).  Meaning "of or pertaining to drawing" is from 1756. Related: Graphically. Graphic design is attested by 1956. Graphic equalizeris from 1969. (Harper, 2010)

            In the 1930s the distinction between advertising art and graphic was virtually nonexistent. While typography was often written about as a separate aesthetic field, it was also addressed in terms of its function in advertising. Moreover, whether discussing a book jacket, record sleeve, poster, brochure, magazine, or any other form graphic endeavor, the word “advertising” was not regarded as derisive. (Steven Heller, 1995)

What is Graphic Designer

            Graphic designers, in people’s minds, often get lumped together with fine artists – when the truth is that we’re almost opposites. Artists create to inspire, to emote, to share something that’s uniquely theirs with the world – and the best art lets each viewer find their own interpretation. Designers, on the other hand, create to communicate – we’re visual-thinking problem solvers, and if people are interpreting our message in their own unique ways, well, then we’re just not very good at our job. (Pendergrass, 2013)

            A graphic designer is responsible for creating design solutions that have a high visual impact. The role involves listening to clients and understanding their needs before making design decisions. A graphic designer works to a brief agreed with the client, creative director or account manager. They develop creative ideas and concepts, choosing the appropriate media and style to meet the client's objectives. (AGCAS, 2013)

Example of Graphic Designer

            The graphic designer is famous in this filed is David Carson. David Carson, (born September 8, 1955, Corpus Christi, Texas, U.S.), American graphic designer, whose unconventional style revolutionized visual communication in the 1990s. David Carson has worldwide fame and is probably the most influential Graphic Designer of the nineties. His introduction of imaginative ideas in magazine design together with his use of experimental typography has gained him fame globally. Carson was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun in the early nineties. David Carson was an art director for the magazine Ray Gun with his experimental typographic design. I like how he uses the type in this design so parst of the writing stands out and other parts don’t but you can still read it. The use of colour in it looks very effective and also subtle at the same time. (Ashleyattwood)

Graphic Act :- TASK 1 - What Is Art

TASK 1

What is Art?

            Art is about of human creative skill, it creative in visual form such as painting, drawing, sculpture and so on related with art. The definition of art has evolved over time and varies based on context, anything can in fact be art, and the term continues to evolve. Art has been defined as a vehicle for the expression or communication of emotions and ideas, a means for exploring and appreciating formal elements for their own sake, and mimesis or representation. Art at its simples, is a form of communication. It means whatever it is intended to mean by artist herself, and this meaning is shaped by the materials, techniques, and forms of the art, as well as the ideas and feelings it engenders in the viewer. Anything can in fact be art, and the term continues to evolve. (Boundless)

            How best to define art is still regularly debated art is still regularly  debated. Many books or journal articles have argued over even the basics of what we mean by calling something art. Theodor Adorno claimed, in 1969, “It is self-evident that nothing concerning art is self-evident”. Furthermore, it is clear that even the basic meaning of the term art has changed several times over the centuries, and is continuing to evolve during the 20^th century as well. Most people would not have considered the depiction of a Brillo Box or a store-bought urinal to be art until Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp, respectively, placed those objects in the context of like an art gallery, which then associated these objects with a way that art could be defined. (Boundless)

            We can all say for example that Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa is a good example of art for art sake. 

Figure 1 : Mona Lisa, by Leonardo Da Vinci’s

Figure 2: Honey Boo Boo, Trashy Work of Art, 3D Potrait

History Of Art

                We understand the history of humanity through art. From prehistoric depictions of woolly mammoths to contemporary abstraction, artists have addressed their time and place in history and have expressed universal human truths for tens of thousands of years. Learn what made Rome great, how Islamic tile work evolved, why the Renaissance happened, and about the brilliant art being produced today around the globe. Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker of Smarthistory together with leading art historians, and our museum partners have created hundreds of short engaging conversational videos and articles, making Khan Academy one of the most accessible and extensive resources for the study of the history of art. (Art History Basic, 2014)

            Art is the good places to start t be a artist or designer. We often think we should understand what we see and that we know what we like, but art can be challenging. It has meant different things at different moments in history. Art given us access to the way other people have seen the world. (Art History Basic, 2014)

Example Of Art And Artist
