Here is Stella Kwok's little art lesson....Art Nouveau is a new concept emerged around the 1900s. Artist start designing fluent vine like pattern in their arts. mostly in architecture at first, a lot of them still seen in barcellona, spain. and sexy women are often depicted as fairy like images taht is part plant part human, or winged, with twinny hair and flowy dresses.... The cool thing about htis is beside this style being exceptionally pretty is that, most art nouveau artist make use of natural objects, like stems, vines, flower patterns to design their works. and you think this is arty farty stuff that is like so HIGH? loook at your notes ladies, if not , look at those MG gals's note, where they like to decorate the border with patterns, i tell you wat, 90% of them draw viney, plantlike pattern that is actually ART NOUVEAU! and damn it , man, i been bordering my notes since don knwo when, and dont you see that, I m in the art nouveau thinggy too!!!!!!I feel so artistic~~~~haha

and today's art class is really cool....Louise Nevelson, a sculpture artist in New York, says that: :" the only reality i recognise, is my own reality." Three cheers for Nevelson, she is 60 somthing years old and still....cool~~~~~~~
