The Art Deco Theme. It is believed, that the Art Deco was born during the 20th century during the "Grunderzeit", the industrialization era around WWI also I think, in France. The references were used by former artists of the renaissance era, shapes were primarily geometrical in shape, and the colors specific as such of those used in tiffany lamp themes. It was reflected also style-wise on the Empire State Building. I really did not know what to do first, I thought a car or something, but somehow, it came to me easily. Well, time is short and of the essence, and while taking four classes, it is near and dear to me to accomplish all of it and never try to be late. So far, lateness is not something I do, unless something came in between. Missing three days in one quarter is still more than enough for me... Well, it has been almost nine years, since I was in Paris- and I forgot my French language and grammar, so it might be La or Le Reve, not sure if the word is male or female, it seems to be masculine, but it also sounds feminine to my ear. I will ask someone, who is better at this some day. But for now, I wrote in French, because it is the least believed, that Art Deco is from France and I wanted to keep it at their home style and language of origin- at least for this one. I really feel like, I have a thing for this, this is really one of my favorite assignments. Yeah, I gotta tweak the edges, but too late now, plus I spent five days on making the children's book, including computer crashings etc. and it consumed most of my time, 56 pages is more than I supposed to do, I know.... Well, going back to this, I decided to take a portrait of myself, make it a clipping mask out of it, and then turn around and reshape the figure, face, hair, drew a tiara, silhouette. The idea behind all of this was, a memory of the past, where we did silhouettes in 2nd grade- so the silhouette idea came back to me with that memory- and it was a style that was also used for Art Deco. And the windows represent symmetrical shapes. The beams were layers of several gradients, made of shapes. I used paulistano Deco for the font, one art deco font version. The theme with the word were to match with the contrast of the shadow style silhouette, the beams- The dream of lights.... So that is all, love that Art Deco Stuff.
