Historical Design Essay Plan


Historical Design Essay Plan

The title chosen for this assignment will be ‘Surrealism: A design movement’
For this assignment the design movement Surrealism will be discussed including topics centred around the historical design including the history of surrealism, the growth and population of the design and some of the key artists related to the movement including one of the most famous artists Salvador Dalí.

I decided to choose Surrealism as a basis for my essay for a couple of reasons. The main reason for my choice is based on the fact that; out of all the design movements I have learnt about and researched, Surrealism is the one that stands out to me through its history and its artwork. The second and probably the main reason I chose Surrealism as the basis for my essay was my interest and fascination with surrealist art, more specifically the art of Salvador Dalí who is one of the most famous surrealist artists. The ideas behind his paintings as well as his personality have always intrigued me and by writing this essay I’m hoping to find out more about his reasoning and ideas behind some of his most popular paintings.

I will be setting this essay out in the style of a report; I will give an introduction into surrealism as a design movement and will then use several key sub-titles to break up the report into different sections. The sub titles below will be a rough guide to what the essay will be about and give a brief overview of the layout of the assignment;
·         
  •        Surrealism; A design movement
  •          The history of Surrealism
  •          The designs of Surrealism
  •          Key artists of Surrealism
  •          Salvador Dalí
  •          Conclusion


In order to make this essay as personal as possible I will be searching for a number of key research areas and materials to make sure I gather as much information as possible rather than just using a generic information database such as Wikipedia. I will be using a number of materials for my research such as Surrealism websites and books from the library regarding the history of surrealism as well as specialist books on Salvador Dalí and other key artists in the movement.
