at was the impact of the second world war and subsequent social and political change on art, craft and design?
http://qwikstep.eu/search/world-war-ii-effects.html
1. People's lives during the second world war included:
The Blackout- Where in If the Siren went off the Blackout rules ment everyone had to turn their lights off so it made it hard for the german bombers to hit their targets.
The Blitz - Where the German bombers Started to bomb the cities more than the RAF bases. MEaning more people would scared this time was called the blitz. When the Siren went off people ran for their lives going into the underground station to cover themselves from enemy bombs.
Aftermath - After the siren stopped it meant that the sky's were clear of enemy aircraft. People came from the shelters to survey the damage to there homes, businesses and overall towns/cities. Also when the Siren stopped people went back to their normal lives not letting the Germans dictate the everyday lives.
During the War Children Were Evacuated to the country sides to be kept from harms way. Children had to leave their families and there loved ones being very traumatic for them. Some children were sent to farms to help with the farming. Children were separated from their families not knowing if they would be alive after the war had finished.
2. How did this effect Propaganda and design?
The governments of countries all over the world used propaganda especially England and Germany. It caused people to feel different emotions that appealed to them in particular ways. Other posters had very patriotic themes that would make young men want to fight. These kind of posters, rather than scaring the public, would make people feel patriotic and want to fight for their country. Other propaganda aimed at young men could be posters showing the humiliation that they would face when they didn't fight showing them to be cowards. Posters were used to mix emotions, and create support for there country.

The Efftect of World War 2 was devestating ot Millions of people who lost their lives.
Following World War 2 And the Defeat of the Nazis, The control of Germany was divided into 4 sectors that were run by the allied powers, United States, United Kingdom, France and the Soviet Union.
Europe - The European Union left the European coal and steel community. Its purpose was to pool the steel and coal from the other states and help out the economies of the other countries. In time the economic bar grew and by getting more members this later became the European Union.
America - As America failed to prevent the War in 1945 a new alliance was established which is now known as the United nations.
The Un also established the State of Israel in 1948 as from the Holocaust. The biggest power the United Nations has over the League of Natins is the presence of world countries including United States and Russia.
Cold War - The end of World War 2 is seen as marking the end of the United Kingdoms Postion in a Top World Country. It was a trigger for the freindship between the United States and The Soviet Union as dominant countries in the World. Friction had built up after the war after the collapse of Nazi Germany. In the areas where Western troops were held pre-war Goverments were created or re-established.
Art And Design Influences Before/During WW2 - Art Deco is a artistic design that began in paris around the 1920's which went through to the 1930's and the World War 2 Era. The Art Deco design influenced all areas including Architecture, interior design and visual arts such as painting, graphic arts and film. Art Deco is based on geomaetric shapes influenced from Egypt, Africa and Mexico. The Art Deco style was killed off after World War 2 from lack of money and the interest.
WW2 Propaganda Posters -
These 2 Propaganda posters are a great example of a design influence by WW2 intended for there audiences. The first example is Intended for the women in World war 2 who are shown they can do what a man can do. The Goverment were recruiting Women to do jobs which men would do including Tank Drivers, Working in Factories, Air Raid Wardens and Mechanics. At first, only single women aged 20-30 were called up, but by mid-1943, almost 90 per cent of single women and 80 per cent of married women were working in factories, on the land or in the armed forces. The second Poster is Showing that To have the equipment we use in War we need people working in factories. This is targeting Audiences Mainly women to start working in factories to supply the men fighting for our country.They used these methods to make a strong impact on the audience saying (Work in factories to help our troops). There Method coud be stronger meaning saying if you dont help in factories our troops will die and we could possibly lose the war..
What impact have different World cultures had on Art & Design?
Japanese Art -
Japonisme or Japonism is a term used to describe the influence of Japanese artistic and stylistic themes upon Western Art. Japonisme is especially evident in French impressionist and Viennese art nouveau but can be seen in other European and American art styles as well.
Japanese art covers a wide range of art styles and media, including ancient pottery, sculpture in wood and bronze, ink painting on silk and paper and more recently manga, cartoon, along with a myriad of other types of works of art. Japanese ceramics are among the finest in the world and include the earliest known artifacts of their culture. In architecture, Japanese preferences for natural materials and an interaction of interior and exterior space are clearly expressed.
Influence of Buddhism and China
With the arrival of Buddhism from Korea and China there was a movement toward painting, especially with the ruling class taking such interest in the Buddhist culture and religion. Painting during the seventh and eight centuries copied styles started in China with illustrations of Buddha's life and other gods of Buddhism.The stylistic tradition of Japanese art was firmly established at the time of the introduction of Buddhism in the 6th century. The teaching of the arts through the medium of Buddhist monasteries and temples progressed under Korean monks and artisans, who created Buddhist sculpture and pictures representing divinities, saints, and legendary figures
Modern Times
Culture in Japan underwent a rather dramatic transformation during the Meiji period, when Western technologies and concepts of government began to be studied and, where appropriate, adapted for the good of the nation.
Japanese artists who had a great influence included Utamaro and Hokusai. Curiously, while Japanese art was becoming popular in Europe, at the same time, Westernization led to a loss in prestige for the prints in Japan.
In Japanese Art they avoid old conventional rules.
Japanese modern art takes as many forms and expresses as many different ideas as modern art in general, worldwide. It ranges from advertisements, anime, video games, and architecture as already mentioned, to sculpture, painting, and drawing in all their myriad forms.

Japanese Culture - Visual Arts
I Really Like this Picture As it is Very detailed. The detail on the robes is very small and delicate. The Colours Are bright and catch your eye.
Painting has been an art in Japan for a very long time: the brush is a traditional writing tool, and the extension of that to its use as an artist's tool was probably natural. Chinese papermaking was introduced to Japan around the 7th century by Damjing and several monks of Goguryeo, later washi was developed from it. Native Japanese painting techniques are still in use today, as well as techniques adopted from continental Asia and from the West.
Sculpture Traditional Japanese sculptures mainly consisted of Buddhist images, such as Tathagata, Bodhisattva and Myo-o. The oldest sculpture in Japan is a wooden statue of Amitabha at the Zenko-ji temple. In the Nara period, Buddhist statues were made by the national government to boost its prestige. These examples are seen in present-day Nara and Kyoto, most notably a colossal bronze statue of the Buddha Vairocana in the Todai-ji temple.

The evolution of Japanese architecture and art as a result of cultural links with China and Korea which were to have a profound influence on future developments, and: outstanding examples of the architecture and planning of early Asian capital cities. Japan has one of the world's most admired architectural traditions, one that has influenced Western artists and architects from the mid-19th century to the present.

The War had infulenced japanese architecture as the war had flattened most buildings in japan as well as other disasters, earthquakes ect.. The goverment short of money didnt have the expense to pay for traditional Japanese architecture. It was much cheaper building concreate blocks and quicker. From Western invluence concreate was a more prefered material for japan than traditional wood.
Second Culture.

French Culture -
Cave Paintings.
The first paintings of France are those that are from prehistoric times, painted in the caves of Lascaux well over 10,000 years ago. Cave paintings are paintings on cave walls and ceilings, and the term is used especially for those dating to prehistoric times.

This is a cave painting from Lascaux, France. Even though this painting is thousands of years old we can see today what they were painting. Hunting Horses? Bulls?. They used charcol to draw on the walls and they also used their fingers and hands to paint pictures.
Rococo
During the 18th century the Rococo style emerged as a frivolous continuation of the Baroque style.The term rococo style, or the rococo, refers to a style of decoration current in Europe, particularly France, during the 18th century. also referred to as "Late Baroque" is an 18th century style which developed as Baroque artists gave up their symmetry and became increasingly ornate, florid, and playful. Rococo rooms were designed as total works of art with elegant and ornate furniture, small sculptures, ornamental mirrors, and tapestry complementing architecture, reliefs, and wall paintings.It applies both to interior decoration and to ornaments. By extension it may also be applied to some sculpture, paintings, furniture, and architectural details, although hardly to architecture as such. It was a style of high fashion and had few popular forms.
This is a Rococo Style room, as you can see by the interior and design it is very french. I like the elegant detail and architectural design.
Rococo as a period began under the Regency of Duc D’Orleans and flourished under Louis XV. Rococo was feminine, soft, asymmetrical, curvaceous and playful.
Though the Rococo style eventually spread to England, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands in Design Influence.
Rococo Architecture
Rococo architecture, was a lighter, more graceful, yet also more elaborate version of Baroque architecture, which was ornate and austere. Whilst the styles were similar, there are some notable differences between both Rococo and Baroque architecture, one of them being symmetry, since Rococo emphasised the asymmetry of forms, whilst Baroque was the opposite.
As You can see Rococo Influenced Much of Europe, As this Palce in St, Petersburg Shows using the Rococo Design in its Architecture. i Really like this type of architecture and design as it shows how diffrent cultures influence the world. I think having a wide range of influence from places around the world makes Everyday a new day.
Rococo architecture became known as the French style and really did not do as well in other countries as it did in
Impressionism.
Here is The Famous Painting Van Gogh - A Starry Night. This painting is really something special, the colours and the movement in the picture is amazing i love how Van Gogh has captured the essence of the night sky with the swirly lines.
This is Sunday Afternoon by Georges Seurat.
In my Opinion I think this painting really is the true meaning of impressionist Art. The painting in detail is made of tiny dots. The surrounding scene behind the woman in blue ( The main focus) is very delicate and light in colour tones. I love the shadowing, the lighting its just perfect.
http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/arts/artwork/impressionism.htm
Impressionism, one of the most vividly elaborated styles of the era, was brought to prominence on the account of independent exhibitions and soon extended its impact on literary and musical media which resulted in its ongoing popularity and re-applications of the style in modern interior engineering and web design. Impressionists try to avoid Black paint and use colourful, bright paints and to capture the light in the picture.
At the turn of the Century, France had become more than ever the centre of innovative art.
Cubism.
The Cubist art movement began in Paris around 1907. Led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, the Cubists broke from centuries of tradition in their painting by rejecting the single viewpoint. Instead they used an analytical system in which three-dimensional subjects were fragmented and redefined from several different points of view simultaneously.
The movement was shown as 'a new way of representing the world', and used outside influences, such as African art. The Cubist painters rejected the inherited concept that art should copy nature, or that they should adopt the traditional techniques of perspective, modelling, and foreshortening.
This is a Piece of Cubism art by Picasso. This Painting is very eye catching from the bright colours and geometric shapes. Picasso's own unique take on cubism is the geometry he uses which is his own creation.
The African continent has produced a great diversity of art from prehistoric times to the present day. In many instances, art production has been related to ritual or tribal ceremonies, as well as serving more secular decorative functions, but it is not always easy to determine the function of a particular work. It is also problematic to label as 'art' the productions of African craftspeople who frequently considered their work as an essential part of secular or religious life.
In many tribes, the artist had a high status, but the artist would not necessarily have been the equivalent of the western fine artist who relied on patronage or the marketplace to regulate his or her production. With these strictures in mind, it is possible to isolate different areas and different practices of African art. From c 7000 BC rock drawings include representations of animals and hunters. From the beginning of tribal differentiation, tribal art has become a way of isolating one tribe from another, and tribal art can take the form of scarification, body painting or sculptural masks used in religious ceremonies.

I think this african art is very bright and colourful. As you can see they have the traditional clothing and the orange sky from the sand. The painting is detailed but has a minimal feel to it.
Influence of Western Art.
African art came to Europe in 1905 when artists began to realise the aesthetic value. Westerners had long misunderstood African art as "primitive." The term carries with it negative connotations of underdevelopment and poverty. Colonization and the slave trade in Africa during the nineteenth century set up a Western understanding hinged on the belief that African art lacked technical ability due to its low status.
At the start of the 20th century, artists like Picasso had become aware of African art and was inspired by it. As Cubism was straining on Art, African art demonstrated well organised forms of images and colour.
I Really like this African artefact by an unknown artist Supposedly used for a ceremony in a African tribe. It has an elongated face and a minimal look to it I think its made from a type of animal skin? It shows what Africans used to wear and now do and inspired many artists in their sculptures.
In the early 20th century, African artifacts were being brought back to Paris museums in consequence of the expansion of the French empire into Africa. The press was fascinated with exaggerated stories of cannibalism and exotic tales about the African kingdom.
Influence on Western Architecture.
African art became a great source of fresh inspiration to the artists of the early twentieth century who wanted to do away with the established artistic conventions of the time. However, despite this important impact it had on western art in the past century, for the time before that it had little to no effect on European art.

During the 50's European architects designed buildings into huge sculptures, and replacing unessential design with murals and textured walls.

This architecture is made by a African designer called Zenkaya. As you can See he has designed a minimal western influence on the building. As this is about African architecture influence on western architecture, I have gone the other way and shown how western culture can influence African design. I really like this building made from minimal materials overall it is a really nice piece of architecture.
Unlike Europe, African art never established boundaries between body art, painting, sculpture and architecture thanks to this, Western architects can now extend towards different art expressions.
Banned Advertising.
This is a advert by Yves Saint Laurent.
This Advert was Banned on Wednesday the 2nd Febuary 2011.
This advert was banned due to its complaints that the advert was showing the woman simulating taking drugs. There was a total of 13 complaints against the advert. The public response was that the woman is dancing to drums and that is shown running her finger down her arm which can be misenturpreted to her injecting drugs. YSL Said that the Advert was carefully filmed to show the intense qualities of the purfume aginst the woman. The tactics used were very sugestive which was misleading to the public.
This advert had taken a step over the line for showing the purfume, adverts nowadays are becoming very sugestive and sexual. I think YSL had made flaw in their advert as drug use is very emotive.
The ASA Said that The woman dancing was seizure like also interpreting drug use. Im glad this advert was banned because its ridiculous how a perfume can do this to a person. Also with advert being on television with young children watching a advert simulating drug use is to far over the line.
This advert hasnt affected YSL Sales as they are one of the most well known designer companies in the world.

Banned- Around April 2011
This advert was banned by watchdog because Ryanair made a advert featuring a woman in a bikini and the promise of sun. Most of the destinations on offer had maximum temperatures under 10C. As it cleary says 'Book to the sun now' which was cleary misleading to the public. The public response was that Ryanair are showing flights to the sin but all the destinations they offered at the time would be cold. The Tactics used were showing a woman in a bikini sipping a cocktail which everyone assumes with being hot. And Ryanair had misused are preseption of the sun. They have had influence on design as advertising shouldnt mislead their customers or whoever their aiming there product at. Something becomes unacceptable when your blatenly lying in the advert and not being able to promise what your selling, which is clearly misrepresentation. This advert had a Bad effect on Ryanair as you can cleary imagine nobody booked there holiday to the sun, actually meaning a cold night in a hotel room in oslo.
Banned Xbox 360 Advert.
Date of publication- Not sure
This advert was banned because..Well im sure you can see the mass outbreak of shooting. The many complaints this advert received you can see why. This advert shows about Jumping in as in joining in the gaming. The advert is funny and really cool for a teenage to watch but for your children it is not suitable. It could be that this was shown at an innopropriate time. Also adults of any age range could of found this offensive as it is about shooting people with is a hard subject to joke about. I think xbox got their message across about lots of people gaming to together and i also think it gave them a positive effect by it being banned as it would seem pretty cool for a teeenager. The tactics the used were tough and pretty brutle but got the message across about gaming with lots of people, i also think they were showing a war game? Call of duty maybe as this is about war with hte shooting ect.. This advert is unacceptable because its people shooting each other which is not a ncie thing to see.. to some it could eb a funny advert and to some it coule be offensive. The asa Stopped this advert from the complaints and if something gets complaints you cant keep the advert running as it may cause more offfense by the company not listening ot the public. I think this advert did boost xbox sales as who wouldnt want to run around a huge train station pretending to shoot each other?

This Anti Foir Gras advert designed by Duval Guillaume for Animal rights campainers was banned In brusells. This advert was to be shown across 40 train stations in brusells but was seen to shocking to be shown i public especially if children had seen it. The advert was to show how Geese and Ducks are treated to Get foie gras by Force feeding the animals food. As you can see the goose in the picture is chained to a wall with a mask over its face showing how they are treated just to get foie gras. The belgium Railway company said they would not have these shown in thier stations as the Adverts could cause violent reactions and cause offense to many.
Adverts like this are to far over the acceptable line how can they justify showing that picture in public its disgusting. Animal rights campaigners should no better than to design something like that supposedly mis treating an animal. Designers can desinger things to get the point across without being misleading theres no need to be that brutle with the imagery.
