Art Nouveau

Assignment

• Art Nouveau was often used for advertisements.• Option 1:– Design an album cover for your favorite band.– You can refer to an existing album, but do NOT copy

imagery from the existing album art.• Option 2:– Design a poster advertising a live show by your favorite

band.– Include the name of the band, date and time, and

venue

Art Nouveau

• Keep Art Nouveau style and themes in mind:– Often found inspiration in organic or natural things– Wanted to harmonize nature with the man-made– Influenced by Japanese prints– Often used to advertise something– Whiplash technique: dynamic, undulating, flowing

lines that create rhythm

Composition

• You are going to be using collage for this assignment so composition is key:– Nothing smack in the middle– Include a background, middle ground, and

foreground!– Use a variety of sizes of objects (small, medium,

AND large)– Crop things in 1/3’s, not in half
