Art Nouveau Activity – Rationale
For this week’s creative response, I have decided to use some commonly daily seen plants in Singapore such as the Bougainvillea as the center flower and simplified Licuala Grandis at the four corners in my design. In this piece, I have incorporated Art Nouveau together with the Peranakan tile style to bring out the essence of Singapore’s culture. While creating this piece I have observed both Art Nouveau and Peranakan style and abstracted some of their unique qualities into my design. Such as Art Nouveau style is full of curves and outlines. While Peranakan style is full of patterns and mainly uses colors such as green, blue and pink in their designs. I have thought of combining this two style together as I felt that they both shares similarities at certain aspect despite they are two different styles. Hence, I’ve decided to experiment and have fun with this two style for this week’s creative response!
