For week 1 of our character design class, we were given a random number that came with a few prompts for a character design. These are the prompts I received:
- Person/Animal: An Aristocrat
-Conceit/Trait: Art Noveau/Romantic, Dead (A ghost)
-World/Time: 1920s Paris
-Filmic Scene: "We will always have the Eiffel Tower."
-Animation Action: Longing looks.
We were asked to research our given prompts, so, for now, I have been researching 1920s Paris, and the Art Noveau Style.
"Art Nouveau, ornamental style of art that flourished between about 1890 and 1910 throughout Europe and the United States. Art Nouveau is characterized by its use of a long, sinuous, organic line and was employed most often in architecture, interior design, jewelry and glass design, posters, and illustration. It was a deliberate attempt to create a new style, free of the imitative historicism that dominated much of the 19th-century art and design. The term Art Nouveau was coined by a gallery in Paris that exhibited much of this work." - Encyclopedia Britannica
