Graphic Design by Knut Olav

Describe the similarities and differences between suprematism and constructivism. There is no prescribed word count; you just need to show that you understand the movements in broad terms.

• For each of these movements, find examples from their eras, and then two contemporary designs you think are influenced by these styles.
• Explain, in your own words, how you can see the influence of suprematism and constructivism in these modern-day designs.

Supermatism is based on the use of basic geometric forms, especially squares and circles. The movment started in the 1915`s in Russia. It is also a non objective form of art.

Constructivism is based on the Supermatism and formed a new art that was used that was punctual and useful to society .

The similarity between this two forms are that the use of forms, usability , the simplicity and that the use few colors. also have good spacing and a good balance.

The difference is that constructivism is used in political statements and the visuals for a purpose for the people. And the suprematism don’t have that attachment just the form of art with the use of the elements.

Supermatism then and now, u can fint traces from a lot of artists where all forms and linjes get used in som way.

Constructivism then and now, as you can see many artist use statements this days too. Shepard Fairey is one of them
