Art Nouveau.....and NATURE??

SO in class we learned about art Nouveau, how it started and how it transformed into various styles.

Now in class, we had to split up into pairs and summerize chapters of our text book, and then explain to the class what we read.

My awesome partner Luz Guillermo!!! and I got the first chapter on art nouveau and its aesthetics.

what i learned was that the linear forms of art nouveau was similar to a natural plant like style. The tendrils of a plant stalk, to the curvature of the line form are very alike.

Now one purpose of art nouveau that i learned, was how designers and artists used art nouveau to connect to the natural world in a more spiritual way. (This is what i read people)

This is where I noticed a paralell in something, art nouveau is sort of like a more refined version of Nature Art, with different mediums.

Look at the Nazca Lines,

or the Spiral Jetty,

Notice the tendrilous nature of the artwork, and notice how the artwork itself IS NATURE!!!!1

....much like art nouveau "style"....or should it be the other way around??

..i leave you with this!!!!!
