Expectations for Art 210

Welcome to my Art 210 Projects and Assignments Blog!

Hello! My name is Kara. I am a sophomore here at the University of Tampa. My major here is International Business: Marketing and what led me to this course was that I recently added a minor in graphic design!
Upon entering Art 210 I had expectations of what I believe I will see throughout the course. As someone who is familiar with crafting design software, I expect to dig deeper behind graphics and learn the ins and outs of basic 2-D designs and to become more familiar with software. I expect to work as hard as humanly possible to excel at the tasks presented to me so that I will understand the information and build on it as I pursue the Graphic Design minor here at the University of Tampa.

Thank you for getting to know a little bit about me!

De Stijl Lovin’ it?: De Stijl influence on McDonald’s Interior Design

Known as “ The Style ” in Dutch, De Stijl was a new art form which simplified elements of the world down to pristine geometric shapes. Running parallel to other European art movements through this time, such as Dada, De Stijl viewed abstraction in a cleaner way. De Stijl utilized abstraction neatly and simplified the shapes down to their simplest geometric form. Overall, this movement was a contributing factor to Bauhaus and many other architecture based art movements. The meaning behind these movements was to create an “utopian idea of harmony and order.” Reducing elements down to their simplest forms reduces critiques which can appeal to a larger demographic regarding interior designs for stores and frequented fast food restaurants. A key element revolving around De Stijl was that form met function. This is a key component for interior design and even more so, mass produced interior design.
