Concept

Discussed our concept for AR and Scanimation after brainstorming quite a bit. Landed upon:

Perspective

After the discussion I was recommended by my faculty to research more into the topic and also look into Ways of Seeing by John Berger.

Constructivism

Moodboard making and discussion of outcomes for the Constructivism movement.

Constructivism was the last major art movement in Russia which was driven by political propaganda and inspired by cubism, suprematism and futurism while it influenced major art movements like Bauhaus and De Stijl.

The movement started after the World War I during 1915 by Vladmir Tatlin and Alexander Rodchenko and had ended in the 1930s.

It is abstract with usage of shapes and angles with the typography mainly being Sans Serif and occasionally Slab Serif.

The type was also set at an angle in the layouts of the artworks of that art movement.

It had an inclusion of photographs and the posters were often systematically set collages of form, image and type.

Artwork by Rodchenko

The main color palette was red, white and black.

Vladmir Tatlin

He was inspired by Pablo Picasso's work during a trip to Paris in 1913. He often liked to question traditional concepts in art and made sculptures to portray that.

His rejection of detail oriented art gathered criticism.

More research on Constructivism.

The research on design movements was quite an interesting process. Overall with the interconnection of so many movements I also ended up talking to the people assigned Bauhaus, Dadaism, Cubism, New Wave, etc about their movements to see if I could see any traces of Constructivism or vice versa. Making the moodboard was also a fun task.
