Think about other artists. Think about more of the qualities you, as an artist, think of as *modern.* And if you can't think of qualities that are positively modern, think about kids of art and approaches you find definitely NOT modern!

Sullivan’s theory that “Form follow function” as opposed to “Form follows precedent” is represented in this building and conforms to a modernist way of thinking.

  • metal and glass frameworks often resulting in large windows in horizontal bands
  • an absence of ornament or mouldings
  • a tendency for white or cream render, often emphasised by black and white photography

Despite its apparently appropriate name, Brutalism is derived from the French term, beton brut, which translates to “rough concrete”. It is essentially a style based on the shaped and molded forms of concrete, a thick, masonry variation of modernist architecture. Regardless of how the International style, Modernism, and Brutalism are classified, they all share the fundamental modernist principle promoted by Louis Sullivan and his contemporaries and successors, that “form forever follows function,” without relying on revivalist architectural styles of the past.]]> 2016-11-07 17:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaufman3/110okm5tzqy0/wish/135850344 mkaufman3 https://padlet.com/mkaufman3/110okm5tzqy0/wish/135851401 2016-11-07 17:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaufman3/110okm5tzqy0/wish/135851401 "Whatever is beautiful rests in the foundation of the necessary" mkaufman3 https://padlet.com/mkaufman3/110okm5tzqy0/wish/135852039 2016-11-07 17:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaufman3/110okm5tzqy0/wish/135852039 Review #3 ebcutler https://padlet.com/mkaufman3/110okm5tzqy0/wish/137369108 This material is good, but I am just not getting what I asked for--which is 5 clearly stated and defined principles plus a few images that illustrate each.

    2. Experimentation!! Artists thought outside of the box when it came to shapes, colors and line work. This then lead to a theme of abstracting their subjects or ideas.
    3. Exaggeration of the materials used
    4. The way artists went about creating their art (the process). Technique also played a part in the depth of the piece *could be broken into two parts 4 & 5* ??
    5. All of this was carried by a multitude of social and political changes during the era.]]>     2016-11-27 22:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mkaufman3/110okm5tzqy0/wish/140058031     Group discussion mkaufman3 https://padlet.com/mkaufman3/110okm5tzqy0/wish/141519106 1. Time period - mac
