a summary of my experiences and the key learning outcomes of the Communication Design Studies (GRAP2199) course

In the communication design studies course, I learned a lot of design styles in weekly tutorials and lectures, and also learned a lot of works of historical designers from my own studies.  This semester is my bachelor’s first semester. Although we have to switch to online learning because of COVID-19, through the screen ben will bring us new content every week, he carefully helps everyone to solve our problems in  Difficulties encountered in the work, this semester has finally reached the final stage, so glad for learning a lot of illustration skills and design skills in this semester.

pop art artist Roy Lichtenstein

Born in 1923, Roy Lichtenstein came from a wealthy Jewish family. Together with Andy Warhol's works, he represents the most important artistic style of Pop art in the 1960s in the United States, and is widely known as the "Father of American Pop art".

He applied cartoon images, comic books, movie posters, advertisements and other ubiquitous elements to the canvas, and magnified them with propylene and oil paints to form a strong visual impact.

His expressive painting and his later complex and subversive printmaking methods opened a new era of American art. Roy Lichtenstein challenges how contemporary art expresses the real world and arouses the audience's resonance and reflection with critical and humorous Pop art.

Free imagination about COVID-19: 

During the epidemic, I often checked the epidemic situation in China on the Internet, and many realistic photos were full of science fiction and cyberpunk feeling.

lecture about futurism

In this class, I introduced the artistic expression of Futurism. After studying several cases, I searched for some materials about Futurism.

After class, I discovered retrofuturism. This concept is arguably the birth of relative futurism, the most popular form of which is the optimism that lasted from the "Golden Age" of the early twentieth century to the "Space Age" of the 1960s.Looking at the future in terms of the past, it is more in line with traditional futurism. It is directly inspired by the fantasy of the future by writers, painters and filmmakers of the Golden Age, who try to analyze existing technology, rationally predict what the future will look like, and present it through magazines, science fiction and paintings. This fantasy of the future is constantly updated and replaced in the present, giving people a sense of nostalgia for "why is it the way it is, not the way it used to be?"

COLLAGE

week 10 exercise

In the class of week 10, Ben asked us to practice Collage's technique by ourselves. He showed us several collage methods, such as tearing apart the parts you want to collage together, or cutting and putting together pages of magazines. After this class, I collected several collage works I like on the Internet. Many artists like to do Collage with the theme of self-portrait, which makes the characters more peculiar and unique.

I usually like collecting The Korean art magazine ‘Dazed’ as a hobby. After this class, I also found that in recent years, many magazines also use Collage method to make their covers or column themes.

more about bauhaus

Inspired by the work of the Bauhaus movement, The Portuguese illustrator Tiago Galo used bold geometric shapes of solid colors and exaggerated proportions as unchanging elements.

lecture-----BAUHAUS

I almost forgot that there was a lecture that impressed me, and Andy told us about the Bauhaus genre. Bauhaus began as a German school founded by the designer Walter Gropius and evolved into an art form. It has a profound influence on architectural design, interior design, art and graphic design. It can be thought of simply as an art of composition, consisting of geometry arranged in a particular way. Bauhaus style means "life is more important than art", which is modern, simple and natural.
