Arts Techniques: This invention is epochal. It was the first of those photomechanical techniques that were soon to revolutionize the graphic arts techniques by eliminating the hand of man in the reproduction of pictures of all kinds. It is the most important of Niepce's contributions, for it involved a principle that became basic to future techniques: the differential hardening by light of a ground that would control the etching in exact counterpart of the image.
In the environmental arts techniques, landscape design has long been brilliant, but the confluence of architectural styles—Hawaiian huts and temple precincts, Oriental temple styles, Western architecture—produced no recognizable synthesis, although the remarkable State Capitol, completed in 1969, offers the hope of such a development. Western music wiped out what there was of Hawaiian music without leading to a new blended style. (What is thought of as Hawaiian popular music is largely European.) Although traditional skills such as Japanese carpentry and woodworking survived the acculturation, this was not true of Okinawan pottery making, Chinese opera, and other arts techniques. In recent years, however, a certain combination of Oriental and Western techniques in the graphic arts techniques has produced some unusual and inventive painting.
The exhibit inside the pergola is a sample of a blending of the fine arts techniques and the applied arts techniques, similar to Architectural Art.
The Foundation for Community arts techniques wants to expand this exhibit with more artworks and present this in an appropriate venue in the coming months.
It is presented by The Foundation for Community arts techniques with the Georgia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. |
