Morfologias da Moda: ensaios analíticos do estilo gráfico da figura de moda e possíveis contribuições ao ensino de artes

Abstract

The dissertation aims to investigate the presence of visual style in the drawing and illustration of the student and the professional who works or will work directly with the graphic expression of the human figure applied to fashion and the forms that these contents are approached in the different levels of art teaching. The need to catalog the world as an authentic vehicle for the knowledge of truth is an inherent characteristic of one's own reasoning ability. Even behind the study of such subjective subjects as history, aesthetics and the theory of the arts, logical-analytical thinking is necessary for the development and better understanding of its specific contents. By analyzing and comparing the different categories, chains or schools of basic styles, a better understanding of the multiple profiles found in them is possible, even if they seem to sometimes seem to be incoherent, since they depend on individual external influences and peculiar to each one, as well as the means used. In the visual arts, style is the ultimate synthesis of all forces and factors, unification, integration of numerous decisions and degrees. At the first level is the election of the medium and the influence of this medium on form and content. We then have the purpose, the reason why something was done: for survival, for communication, or for personal expression. The present realization presents / displays a series of options: the search of compositive decisions by means of the election of elements and the recognition of the elementary character; the manipulation of the elements through the election of appropriate techniques. The end result is an individual expression, even though it sometimes appears as collective; directed by most of the above mentioned factors, but mainly and deeply embedded by what is occurring in the social, physical, political and psychological environment, spaces that are crucial to everything we do or express visually. I investigate the perceptive influence of external forces on the realization of any class of visual objects and on the expression of ideas. Thus, one must take into account physiological conditions and social conditions, as well as group behavior; because these aspects also have an enormous influence on perception and expression. Politics, economics, the environment, and social schemas together create a group psychology. These same forces, which give rise to individual languages in verbal use, combine in visual mode to create a common style of expression. Following these concepts, we propose a way of classifying the visual style of the figure for fashion, not emphasizing the spelling in the style of the clothing itself, but without despising it, since it is inserted within the trilogy fashion-style-art and their different forms of presentation; being part of the reflection of his time and his society, as well as the visual style applied to the fashion figure and the purposes for which it is intended, and not to the design or design, within the different professions that require its use. I focus on aspects of graphic expression in fashion and its presence and use in the teaching of fashion in the different levels of education, through the visual arts, checking the means (dry or liquid), namely drawing or painting, using the tools that are use for this, varied materials, including the natural / local in mixed techniques. Scribers, cut out, built, pasted or virtual also as relevant items.
