CLASS EXERCISE

Contemporary designers and artists who share ideas...work has similar characteristics...and who break rules??

Some artists we came up with were David Carson, Stephan Sagmiester, Paula Scher, Seymour Chwast, Milton Glaser, Yulia Brodskaya, as a few. They all do not share the same ideas but some connect with others, they all used experimentation in their work and in doing so broke the so called rules of the time, breaking the traditional boundaries. The artists who incorporated typography into their work used many different techniques of collage, grid, shapes and were not always created to be ledgable, this was their challenge to the rules.

"As time goes on the world becomes more and more sophisticated."

I believe the sophistication of art has to do with the ever growing and advancing technology and science which is making the place we live in far more complex. Artists are only making sense of the world that they live in and following the trends of the time. Many artists turn to the past to the basics of painting and skething and improving upon those skills, or experiment with their own ideas and techniques, from this the sophistication grows every new day in relation to art. Artists keep expanding upon their own ideas and the ideas from the past.
