Art Nouveau Invasion

Household Items

Assignment

• Part of the Art Nouveau movement was applying the techniques and themes (inspiration from nature, Japanese Prints, “whiplash”, advertisement, etc.) to common household items.

• You will choose a household item and do a detailed drawing of how you would use Art Nouveau themes to change it.

• Draw the object from at least two different views so we can see what it would look like in 3D.

Martha Stewart

• What I’ve just shown you is all very “Martha Stewarty”…this doesn’t mean I expect you to create something like this.

• Don’t be afraid to do something opposite…you can be dark and creepy, or bright and cartoony!
