Report To Compare and Contrast Marc Newson To Oscar Niemeyer
Designing is the planning or drawing that people produce that shows how something may function, work or look like. It is everywhere in our society today and is an important factor in the world. It also allows people to express their views, ideas and creative flairs in different ways. Such as how today we will be looking out how Marc Newson designs compared to Oscar Niemeyer. Although they are people of very different times, different cultures and different passions there is still one thing for sure that unites them which is designing for individuals and the world.
Before I start to compare these designers in depth you should probably get to know a bit about them. Such as Marc Newson was born on 20th of October 1963 in Australia. He designs aircraft, products, furniture, jewelry and clothing. While Oscar Niemeyer who was born on the 15th of December 1907 in Rio de Janeiro and died the 5th of December 2012. He was a Brazilian architect who is considered to be one of the key figures in the modern development of architecture. Though he mainly designs houses and buildings.
Marc Newson and Oscar Niemeyer are very different designers. But I will go into depth about there similarities and differences such as both designers are interested in modernism or development into new technologies. Newson says that he loves to work with new technologies. This is similar to the way Niemeyer was thinking, such as how he wanted to head in the modern direction when designing buildings and houses. He was just a designer before the era of bringing in new technologies. Some examples from Niemeyer’s work would be the Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum in which he designed. Which has relevance to ...

... ideas and create something or design something amazing that can be used and of benefit to not only yourself but the world. But some of the main similarities grasped from this report would be how both designers were very interested in modernism, as well as there love for designing with curved lines and not using many sharp corners in there designs. Some more similarities would be that they were able to create and design things that were multicultural meaning that they weren’t target at one specific culture or country. The last similarity was that they designed different things but aimed whatever they designed to the same target market. So overall we have found that you can take two different designers or people and realize that they may seem completely different in terms of style and what they design but they can have more similarities than you may originally think.
Richard Fairbanks and Takeshi Yasuda are very different in nature, but I find each of their works visually and aesthetically compelling. Difference creates questions, which creates interests, which creates answers. I feel both of these men treasured simplicity in its realist form! Fairbanks and Takeshi both explored the "unknown" to create identity for themselves. The creativity, ingeniousness, and capacity of knowledge that these men display helps identify who they are and what they stand for as artists.
Finally, the last similarity was being great at writing. Both authors were able to show strong

...nian architects. Frank Lloyd Wright, on the other hand is considered as one of the founders of modern architecture but what is certain is that they have both had a tremendous influence on the world of architecture today.
Despite nearly three quarters of a century between their writings, the ideas these two magnificent authors had were similar in many ways. They both challenged science and society to their limits.
The Art Nouveau style and movement, at its height between 1890 and 1910, enabled a sense of freedom for both its artists and the public as a whole. It offered strikingly original ideologies and transformed both the artistic and the mundane world alike with common characteristics like curvilinear shapes and a sense of the return to the natural and to nature as well as being at the crux of a fundamental change in how artworks were mass produced. The Art Nouveau style seemed to walk between the two worlds: it was simultaneously fantastical and grounded in reality and there was no artist in the period that was better equipped to “know and see the dance of the seven veils,” (Zatlin) than Aubrey Beardsley. It is impossible to fully discuss the value
Overall, Wright and Gropius have engage different aspects and steps of design. Wright borrow ideas from nature to try to apply it into architecture to gain better result for people comfort or effectiveness. Gropius put the function first and by developing the funtion with environment to meet people’s requirement of comfort and convinence. But they both share a same idea which is ‘simplicity’. From my point of view either simplicity and complex are necessary in design. Even though most time they conflict with each other a lot. I beileve one day they must become a union just like Gropius aim ’Arts and craft will finally reconcile’
time of their works, they both had many similarities in the theme of their stories and their goals of writing the stories.
Jackson Pollack and Vincent van Gogh are some of most famous artist before and after their time. Each artist has a similar and different painting methods that they use when painting pictures. There most well-known paintings are called “Number 1” and “The Starry Night”. The paintings give off emotion by how they look, but each one is painted in different ways. The public did not find their paintings wanting when they were made. The difference was how long it took for them to get recognized for their work. Lastly, the paintings gave different and similar reactions to people that have changed over the years of their existence.
One of those similarities is the use of geometric attributes. Art Deco had verticality and even the decorations had geometric shapes on them creating a designs likes chevrons. Bauhaus did not have excess decorations but instead had strong rectangular walls and perfect circular designs. The geometrics are there and prominent in both styles. Both styles have also been the influence of architecture that is still being seen today. Both styles were emerging around the same time during the 20th century. These styles are also similar because they both value fine crafts and design. The luxury and glamour of design and jewelry of Art Deco was created with fine craftsmanship and thought. The same can be said and seen in the work of Bauhaus. Their school was founded on the ideals that the Bauhaus movement would “… reunite art and industry, craft and industrial design… with a purpose of a utopian vision to make a better world for all through better designed objects and environments” (Tom Thomas).
Henri Matisse was born December 31st, 1869 to two storeowners, Emile and Heloise Matisse. His father wanted him to be a lawyer, so later on in life he could takeover the family business. They sent him to Henri Martin Grammar School where he studied to be a lawyer. There was a hint of artist in Henri because while working as a lawyer’s assistant he took up a drawing course (Essers 7). It was for curtain design but it seemed to be destiny for a lawyer’s assistant to take up such a distant hobby as drawing.
Many do not consider where images they see daily come from. A person can see thousands of different designs in their daily lives; these designs vary on where they are placed. A design on a shirt, an image on a billboard, or even the cover of a magazine all share something in common with one another. These items all had once been on the computer screen or on a piece of paper, designed by an artist known as a graphic designer. Graphic design is a steadily growing occupation in this day as the media has a need for original and creative designs on things like packaging or the covers of magazines. This occupation has grown over the years but still shares the basic components it once started with. Despite these tremendous amounts of growth,

I feel my work is a resemblance of Robert Rauschenberg in a sense of innovation and expanding the use of material and mediums. Rauschenberg was well known for his ability to combined nontraditional material and objects creating a single - unified piece. Much of Rauschenberg 's work consisted of employing innovative combinations. Though, Rauschenberg was both a painter and a sculptor and implemented a combination of both, he also worked with photography, printmaking, papermaking, and performance -allowing him to expand his ideas and innovations. Like Rauschenberg, much of my work is based on combining different elements and media to create singular bold works. With my recent work, it manifests into a composite of sculpting and painting leading
Design has major impact with concerns to environmental qualities. This field is a direct study of the relationship between behaviouristic actions of its inhabitants. Designers constantly interact with people and communicate to solve the needs of their clients regardless of large or small scale projects. Analysis is key in combining creativity with managerial design solutions. These outside-of-the-box designers have the ability to create beautiful, safe and functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces using common factors, designing for communities as well as,
