Design 11 (see ART 10)
There are many ways to examine the 2Oth Century, one of which is to interrogate and respond to the cultural productions or art work of the past one hundred years. As we end this century of invention and innovations we can recognize that the art which represents our globally mediated village is not restricted to that which is found in a gallery. Rather, we have learned to value the knowledge we can gain from any aesthetic product, from something made in a garage to billboards, TV shows, movies, magazines, and web sites. Students in Horton's visual art program have investigated the 20th Century through its aesthetic constructions. | |

Students in Design 11 have been asked to collect, identify, and respond to four visual products from the 20th Century to include works which they interpret as political, expressive, literal, spiritual, or practical. Keeping in mind the era and overall cultural environment in which the product was created, students are to remove the product from its original culture and era and place it convincingly into another. In the following web sites you may see, for example, a practical product such as a stapler from 1955, changed into a product with a spiritual purpose using aesthetics from 1980. This new product might be presented as a painting or a poster. These works are available for you to look at in the web-sites below. ENJOY! |
