Graphic design history

Early

Graphic Design spans the history of humankind from the caves of Lascaux to the dazzling neons of Ginza. In both this lengthy history and in the relatively recent explosion of visual communication in the 20th and 21st centuries, there is sometimes a blurring distinction and over-lapping of advertising art, graphic design and fine art. After all, they share many of the same elements, theories, principles, practices and languages, and sometimes the same benefactor or client. In advertising art the ultimate objective is the sale of goods and services. In graphic design, "the essence is to give order to information, form to ideas, expression and feeling to artifacts that document human experience."[2]

The paintings in the caves of Lascaux around 14,000 BC and the birth of written language in the third or fourth millennium BC are both significant milestones in the history of graphic design and other fields which hold roots to graphic design.

The Book of Kells is an early example of graphic design. It is a lavishly decorated hand-written copy of the Gospels of the Christian Bible created by Celtic monks around 800AD.

From 1892 to 1896 William Morris' Kelmscott Press published books that are some of the most significant of the graphic design products of the Arts and Crafts movement, and made a very lucrative business of creating books of great stylistic refinement and selling them to the wealthy for a premium. Morris proved that a market existed for works of graphic design in their own right and helped pioneer the separation of design from production and from fine art. The work of the Kelmscott Press is characterized by its obsession with historical styles. This historicism was, however, important as it amounted to the first significant reaction to the stale state of nineteenth-century graphic design. Morris' work, along with the rest of the Private Press movement, directly influenced Art Nouveau and is indirectly responsible for developments in early twentieth century graphic design in general.

艺术‘出册 ’ 走入校园





艺术'出册 ' 走入校园

香港政府保育得个'壳',引致民间团体怨声载道,激进'烂头卒'选择游行、示威、绝食、训街作前哨抗争;与其被行外人管内行事,有识之士另开途径,选择更有价值保存历史文化的手段,在去年两度于中环域多利监狱举行的〈监狱美术馆〉,从入场人数与舆论,反映出主办单位中西区区议会与'艺术公社'成功将市民的保育意识提升。今年'艺术公社'与五间院校的艺术系学生合作,将保育的概念向未来当家作的新一代植根。

去年1月'艺术公社'邀请了二十多位本地艺术家,将中环域多利监狱的D仓化身为美术馆,每人各占一个监舍创作他们的艺术天地,藉此探讨将古迹群发展为另类展览空间的可行性,让本以深具文化历史意义的古迹,增添文化艺术成份,丰富古迹群内容,藉此促进本地的庄旅游事业发展。
今年'艺术公社'伸延〈监狱艺术馆〉的核心意义,与香港中文大学艺术系、香港浸会大学视觉艺术系、香港理工大学环境及室内设计系、香港教育学院体艺学系及香港艺术学院RMIT的50多位艺术家辅导下,以监狱事物为题材进行创作举行,藉创意宣扬保育古迹的概念。
'艺术公社'的主席,本地著名雕塑家朱达诚(小图)在上周六的〈监狱艺术坊〉开幕礼上,表达了新生代如何透过创意来向公众宣扬保育中区警署古迹群的讯息,朱达诚说,'各院校学生的作品均深具创意,他们努力发掘这古老监狱的艺术与历史文化元素,透过不同视觉艺术形式表达对监狱的所感所思。'保育并不是单靠一、两个艺术展览,就可改变一个政府的决策,但与其将具有历史价值的文化地标,落入商人财团手中,发展成为谋取暴利,恍如唐人街式'四不象'的旅游景点,倒不如由民间有心人,出谋献策保留这所具有接近150年历史的古迹。
