GOOD DESIGN

In our lesson we looked at the 19th century debate on what makes a good design.

A good design is; eye catching, simple, good form, successful, memorable, safe, aesthetically pleasing, and fulfils it's function. 

According to the 19th century debate-

Decoration is secondary to form, 

Form follows function 

And design should drive from historical English and non western oraments as well as animal sources and plants. 

FIRST LESSON, TRACEY EMIN FREUD AND GRAYSON PERRY

In our first lesson we looked at a variety of artists including Lycian Freud, Tracy eminn, and Grayson perry.

We looked at some of their work and how they differ to one another and our own personal perception of art. For example Tracy eminns 'my bed' piece made us all question wether or not we saw it as art and looked in to who says what's art and what isn't. 

We also did a bit of object analyse in our lesson, which helped us all to be able to look at art or objects in a more detailed way. For an example we all had to pass around a watch and then all had to give one different characteristic this made us all think of the object more and try to spot out something different.
