ROCOCO

ROCOCO

My favourite 18th century style is rococo. Rococo is a decrotive style from paris covering aspects of art including painting, sculpture architecture and interior. 

Rococo is design that incorporates broken rocks and shells. i like the style as i thinks its pretty and creates interesting decretive look. Rococo is very over the top and out there but is also very pretty and  mystical, i think. 

If i was to use Rococo in my own work i would properly create a garment incorperating flowers and very draped and flawy as i think that this is the pinnacle of rococo as it very feminine and elegant. 

WILLIAM MORRIS

WILLIAM MORRIS 

These tiles designed by William Morris in 1876 really appeal to me as i think they are aesthetically pleasing, very unique and has a natural calming affect. 

I think i get this from the design because of the curves, majesical colour and the over lapping leafs and flowers. 

I also really like that there is a lot going on but still doesn't seem over whelming due to the different color contrast, rather that it being a mixture of similar tones and colours.

ART NOUVEAU

Art Nouveau 

Art Nouveau is a movement that focused on decorative arts and architecture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 
Art Nouveau was aimed at modernizing design, escaping historical styles that had previously been popular. Artists drew inspiration from both organic and geometric forms, evolving elegant designs that united flowing, natural forms.
 The style went out of fashion after it gave way to Art Deco in the 1920s, but it experienced a popular revival in the 1960s, and it is now seen as an important factor in the modernism of art.

I like these Art nouvaeu designs by ssava as i find they are quite majestical due their use of swirls, curves and colors. the pale pastel colors give the designs a fantasy look about them and they come across to me as calming spiritual designs. 

Art nouveau could be used in fashion by haven very pastel coloured fabric and prints. Art novae could also be represented through garments by them being very flowy and draped to represent the swirls and curves used in the original designs. 

Garments that resemble Art nouvaeu-
