Research for Final Project

 For the final project, I mainly looked at one book, "James Montgomery Flagg" by Susan E. Meyer. She has a lot of photographs and illustrations that I was not able to find anywhere else. The images were provided by a protege of Flagg's named Everett Raymond Kinstler. Kinstler ended up with many of Flagg's works after Flagg's death in 1960. The book is an invaluable resource for not only the images but also the writings and reminisces of Flagg by those who knew him. The book was written a mere 14 years after Flagg's death, and so the material was more readily available. There is not too much about Flagg on the internet, but I did use ArtStor to find some photographs of his family that were taken byArnold Genthe that lent some context to the stories in the book.

Yellow Submarine

Yellow Submarine

opening sequence:
psychedelic colors
patterns, color fields
fantastical, whimsical
imprecise lines and shapes
simplicity in colors, shapes, lines, patterns
organic shapes

elanor rigby
submarine through london
mix of black and white imagery and colors
clothes are contemporary for that time period
backgrounds are generally gritty and black and white, characters are more colorful and look like contour or loose drawing

random objects and characters that make no sense (nonsense world)



sitar and incorporation of live action film-idea of meditation and spirituality with images and sitar

series of fast images of places, indicates a long travel time

multi-colored stripes and patterns (missoni)

juxtaposition of real-life footage and cartoon

objects move in time to music
mixture of styles and ideas

related to op art, illusionistic animations

visual representation of sound waves

bestiary of bizarre made-up mismatched nonsensical creatures
in an entirely non-racist episode, "injuns" attack and ringo is saved by white men on horses

nonsense speak, nonsense images, made-up creatures mixed with regular objects and activities (typing, piano playing, writing, painting)

things to think about:

how do they utilize the gestalt theory
examples of early post-modernism (culture bending back on itself--look back and understand its accumulation though juxtaposition)
conglomerations in relation to past artistic movements (esp international style)

direct influence of this on children's tv

For our Final group project our group is focused on covering examples from Print media propaganda used during World War I and II.    Also we are covering propaganda created by all Countries involved in the wars.  We have decided to create a 'flag' image as the background for our timeline piece, with the focus being on the posters created. We plan using the American Flag and on the opposing Side using a compilation of two flag forms representing the two other countries.  As far as the mapping and 3rd project we do not have a set idea yet we are still gathering our research and trying to decide what the best mode of representing the additional information is.
