Modernism is an art movement that explained the art work that was being produced during the 18th Century until 20th century. There were many artists that produced some brilliant pieces of work during this time, they used nature to inspire their work. This is shown in the work with the usage of landscapes, including the western world, objects and people. The modernism era included a wide variety of different styles of work. There was a rise in many different forms of art movements like cubism, Fauvism, De Stijl and Surrealism.
Cubism- Is a form of movement that shows 3D objects in 2D form, with many perspectives founded by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the 1900’s.

artists use this technique including Henri Matisse and Andre Durain.

City in Flux was the first studio tried that I received from our lecturer John, the brief was to show observations of change throughout a city. I focused my research on Mental Health within Blackpool because it is a city that I know was I was born there. As I was taking photographs and observing the many different links to mental health, I gained more and more experience and research within mental issues. After taking inspiration from a video by Vice News, I went more depth into being able to illustrate illness’ within people. For my final pieces I created a wall of faces, to symbolise how there are so many faces and people that can be affected by mental illness, I wanted to make it look scary and that, people that suffer may feel eeveryone around them judges them for having this disease so I wanted to play on that emotion by showing it from a sufferer’s eyes.

With this we got to do what we wanted to show the Golden Record in it’s true eyes, for me it was about creating peace, however I feel that it never worked and that there are more and more problems arising. I wanted to show this through the research I did and the work I produced, which was the image created behind this writing, I dd this by setting fire to certain flammable items like wool and paper, and I burnt out a golden CD I had and put it in the fire to indicate, the Record going up in flames.
The brief for Type Transcription was to create a typeface that was inspired by a specific artist. The typeface I have created was inspired by the work of rejuvenate productions who designed the logo and artwork of Bibi’s restaurant Leeds. I tried to track down the artist but can not find the original designers as it is a group of people who work on the projects they are given. I chose to use capital lettering because Bibi’s was use all in capitals and felt it was eye-catching.
