Stylin'

Art Deco

   This modern style was great and I liked it beacause it innovate the old stuff with the new materials. The Art Deco architecture is one of the most famous things of this style because here you can find the Chrysler Building, one of the icon buildings in NYC, I haven't had the opportunity to see this building in my life but it's in my plans of visiting NYC. The theaters were also an Art Deco style and those kind of theaters were very common and for me they were kind of cool and with a lot of class! Talking about the design, Art Deco was again really great because the stuff that were done were cool and requested! The sharpeners and toasters with those forms were cool and come on; Rolls Royce, Buggati, Alfa Romeo everyone wanted one but I think you need some money for that. Sculpture was good but this type of sculpture was with a little more of class and like decoration for a house or a building. Paintings weren't too good but weren't too bad, I liked them they were simple with fine and firm brushwork and with a set of high colors but I don't see any modern or different. In general Art Deco was great, I loved it, I think it were the people with money, "class" and that wanted to be kind of different. 

California Modern

  

   This was a combination of styles and focussed on the houses. I didn't like a lot the house made by Neutra y Schindler because they were with a different style, they had a lot of windows were the house didn't need to. But I loved Neutra's objectives and intentions of making houses for the soldiers and that was really kind. The houses were small and kind of ugly but they had everything that you need. Irving Gill houses were beautiful! especially the "Raymond House" and "Cossitt House" those are classy houses combined with international style. The "Eames House" reminds me De Stijl type because of the lines and the primary colors.

Harlem Renaissance

   This movement of the african-american impact in every aspect of the american culture. I think it was great because this marked an improvement in the society and the culture of each person in america, beacuse african-american people are also caplable of everythin either culture or athletic. The Nicholas Brothers performance of tap dancing is AWESOME! I don't have word to describe it, I love when I saw it in class that's why I had to put it here. Does they have any tendon  or articulation? How they do all that stuff? It´s the best performance that I've ever seen!
