This document provides information about the artist Piet Mondrian and his style of abstract art using lines, squares, and rectangles in primary colors. It explains that Mondrian was born in 1872 and initially painted realistic scenes, but his style evolved to focus on vertical and horizontal lines that formed squares and rectangles on the canvas. One of his late works, Victory Boogie Woogie, remained unfinished at his death and was inspired by New York city maps and jazz music.
Roger Weik argues that abstract painting can convey spatial elements while maintaining focus on paint as its own entity. When form is painting's goal, paint represents something else, but abstract painting is truly realistic as it is about paint. Weik suggests that a painting could draw viewers in through its surfaces and forms while still conveying space, using surface as a representation of space. This bridges the gap between abstraction and realism in a way that continues the discussion of illusionary space pioneered by painters from the Renaissance through Picasso and Greenberg's philosophy of abstraction.

The document discusses the origins and key figures of the International Typographic Style (Swiss Style) of graphic design that developed in 1950s Switzerland. It emphasizes clean layouts with sans-serif fonts, grids, and asymmetrical designs. Figures like Müller-Brockmann, Frutiger, and Hofmann helped define the style through their magazine and book designs, typeface creations like Helvetica and Univers, and emphasis on grids and readability. The style had a large influence on graphic design internationally.
Expressionism developed in Northern Europe around 1905 as an artistic movement that emphasized inner experiences over realistic portrayals. Key characteristics included heightened symbolic colors and exaggerated imagery exploring darker aspects of human psychology. In Germany, the group Die Brücke was formed in Dresden in 1905 with the goal of using their art to serve the future by embracing Nietzsche's philosophy. They were influenced by Gothic architecture, Japanese prints, Munch, Van Gogh and sought to shake bourgeois culture through emotive use of color and subjects like crime and prostitution scenes depicted intuitively. Their work featured intense personal subjects through pure contrasting colors and rough drawing styles.

De Stijl was a Dutch artistic movement that advocated pure abstraction and universality using only basic forms, primary colors, and black and white. Key members included Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and Gerrit Rietveld. They sought to reflect spiritual harmony through rational order. While Mondrian's early work was realistic, he radically simplified his style over time using only horizontal and vertical lines. De Stijl proved influential internationally in various fields like architecture. Van Doesburg further developed the style in his Elementarism theory and Café Aubette interior design project. Rietveld's Schröder House fully embodied De Stijl principles, while his Red Blue Chair design examined planar

The document defines a mentor as an experienced adviser who guides and supports a mentee. It provides examples of famous mentor-mentee relationships and characteristics to look for in a potential mentor, such as respect, success in one's field, and willingness to share knowledge. The document advises establishing objectives and agreement with a mentor, then maintaining the relationship by regularly evaluating progress, sharing experiences, and getting feedback.
The document discusses the importance of providing effective feedback and outlines four steps and techniques for doing so, including setting clear objectives, observing performance, giving immediate feedback, and recognizing positive performance. It also provides tips for giving constructive feedback such as being specific, using the I technique, ending on a positive note, and recognizing improvement. The conclusion restates that meaningful feedback reinforces good performance and encourages growth.
Goal setting and planning can help you achieve more, improve performance and self-confidence, and increase motivation. Goals should be SMART - specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, and time-bounded. Planning reinforces goals, coordinates decisions, and ensures efficient resource use. The five steps to effective planning are to establish strategies, set a timetable, assign responsibilities, anticipate obstacles, and modify the plan as needed. Together, goal setting and planning can make you a successful leader.
Transitionals are commonly used text faces that bridged the gap between Old Style and Modern typefaces. They have higher contrast, larger counters and apertures, and larger x-heights compared to earlier typefaces. Garalde faces are inspired by Claude Garamond's letterforms from the 1500s and have greater contrast between thick and thin strokes than Humanist faces. Didone typefaces have the highest contrast, thin hairlines, ball terminals, and unbracketed serifs. They seem more geometric and were inspired by Firmin Didot's work in the late 1700s.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Visual Literacy Design Project
1. Objectives
Part 1
For part 1, we were assigned a specific poster and our goal was to
recreate it using 3 different design principles: placement, scale and
color. This was a good exercise to get our feet wet with the most
interesting design and important design principles. I think I did a
good job. At first I struggled to use the vectors, but then I figured out
how to replicate them and utilize them. I feel there are so many pos-
sibilities with just one of the design principle, let alone three. I made
six sketches of placement, and I felt like I could do a lot more. This
realization of possibilities increased as I did placement and scale
and finally all three. I like my final three posters for their simplicity. I
like simple and clean designs and I applied that in my posters.
Part 2
For part 2, we were suppose to choose three designers from a pro-
vided list and recreate these posters in there style. At first, I basi-
cally replicated their designs, which was not a good idea. Then I sat
down and picked out few characteristics of their designs and tried
to apply that to my creations of the posters in their style. All three
of my designers use primary colors and symmetry. To force myself
into their style was difficult, no matter how much I tried to not
duplicate their design, I kept compelling to it. There are definitely
some improvements that need to be made. A little bit of it may seem
duplicated, but I tried my best to stay away from mocking and actu-
ally using their design standards as key principles in my re-design of
the poster.

12. Piet Zwart attended school of arts and crafts in Amsterdam, where
he studied painting, architecture and furniture design. Working
under architects Jan Wils and H.P Berlage he showed awareness
of function and clarity of proportion. After that he was influenced
by a members of De Stijl movement and other graphic designer.
Zwart called himself a typoket because to him it conveyed “equal-
ity between his designs for two and three dimensions” The form
of the letter in its most simple and abstract shape was really the
catalyst and inspiration to Zwart’s typographic achievements. He
was strongly influenced by De Stijl perspective, he used rules and
other graphic elements to create “dynamic page compositions using
Piet Zwart [those] typographic elements alone” and express using “purely
abstracted forms [with a] respect for mechanical products”. Some
key components of Zwart’s work include strong diagonals, primary
1885-1997 colors, large use of scale, varying typefaces, repetition for strength

and careful asymmetry. His three main goals were function, simplic-

ity, clarity. He focused on scale and layout, thus mastering space
and composition. Zwart wrote his own copy to fully understand the
message meaning and expression.

13. At age 17, Max Huber was attending Zurich School of Arts and
Crafts where his teachers were Ernst Gubler, Gottlieb Wehrli, Heinri
MŸller, Walter , Otto Weber and Alfred Willimann. Huber began
his career in Avant Grade Environment. At age 21, Huber moved
to Milan and worked under Antonio Boggeri. Huber saw Milan, and
studio Boggeri in particular, as the melting pot in which illustra-
tion, painting, photography and printing could come together. Huber
always mixed unframed flat photographic and typographic elements
with strips of color to convey a certain feeling of dynamism and
speed. His work concentrated on photographic experiments and
clear type combined with the use of bold shapes, strict grid and
Max Huber primary colors. Huber favored clarity, rhythm and synthesis. He
used succinct texts, composed from different hierarchical groups; a
large title with secondary information in a smaller type, a sequence
1919-1992 of levels. One of Huber’s favorite design job was of record covers,

14. Theo Van Dosenburg was a Dutch painter, designer and architect,
who was highly influenced by Impressionism, Expressionism and
Cubism. In 1915, he met Mondrian and switched his approach to
that of total abstraction cofounded the De Stijl movement in 1917
and devoted his career to spreading the group’s ideas. During the
1920’s he traveled across Europe promoting his artistic beliefs, set-
tling only for a short time from 1922 to 1924 to teach at the Bau-
haus. In the same decade, he switched from his horizontal and
vertical line compositions and began incorporating diagonals in
his series, Counter-Compositions. Doesburg titled this new style,
Elementarism. He moved to Paris in 1929, set up a studio in the
Theo Van Doesburg suburbs and published a manifesto of Concrete art a year later. In
his final year, he held a meeting in his studio that resulted in the
founding of the Abstraction-Creation association.
