Style

From my research into the meaning of my name, Nicole, "victory of the people". I couldn't help associating it in my head with the painting of the french revolution by Delacroix "liberty leading the people."



Eugène Delacroix. Liberty Leading the People (1830)

I find this painting striking because the woman holding the french flag and gun, on top of dead bodies, seems horrific - showing the awful bloodshed of the french revolution, but the liberty figure triumphs. The liberty figure seems like something out of an anchient legend, like liberty personified as a woman. This woman is so striking, and it is such a strong image, i would like to have an image that was victorious, forward moving, liberating for my design.

I also find the movement of the french flag in the painting grabs my attention, probably helped by it being red and centrally placed.

While I was looking in the art book, i came across some art in the futurism style. I thought it was interesting because it attempts to capture movement in a still image. I think this style could be relevant to considering designing a moving image for the annimation, and also relevant in trying to design an image for the CD case that captures the idea of movement in a still image.
