Conceptual art not concept art?

[123456]

I have to make a presentation tomorrow about conceptual art. I have to show modern day items that used conceptual art. Can I use concepts like from comics, storyboards, characters? becuase what else am I going to do? Im not supposed to show conceptual art created today, just media that use conceptual art. Do you think I could use concept art? thanks

Well, pretty much everything manufactured begins with concept art - a cell phone, camera, a bridge, the car or bus you go to school in, the school building, the school desks, the pencil sharpener, coffe maker, the backpacks, etc. So you shouldn't have much trouble pointing to something that used conceptual art!

Comics aren't really considered concept art - they fall under a term called "sequential art" - storyboards are somewhere between but generally fall under concept art - because they are "visualizing" or conceptualizing what a particular scene will look like.

Now "concept art" is different from "conceptual art" as it is understood in the fine art world so I'm not sure which you are referring to.

Good luck!

What you're talking about is industrial design. Here are some helpful links:

Conceptual Art and Concept Art aren't the same thing. The first can sacrifice practicality/appearance/aesthetics to the thought process and succeed. The second must result in a practical and aesthetically pleasing result. Maybe this will get it across {badly...)...

Conceptual: Thinking to get others to think just for the sake of thinking.

Concept: Thinking to get others want to get involved in an end "product" in a purely visual manner.

I don't have very high hopes for this presentation...

If you just read that time magazine article, that's plenty for one presentation, and the original magazine shows examples of great designs - chairs, tea sets, etc. It's last week's issue, so you should be able to find it. Maybe your school library has an extra copy.

Just wondering, and this is kind of random here, but what class/es do you teach at SVA?

Right now I teach 2nd year painting and 2nd year illustration. Next year I'm covering a senior portfolio class instead of the painting class.

I just got a strong urge to go back to college.

I wonder if the OP is a bot? How about an update on that presentation?

I think a bot would have been better prepared.

Conceptual Art = Marcel Duchamp, you know urinals and that kind of stuff.

Concept Art = Concept Illustration for games, movies and stuff.

I would advise you don`t use the term "conceptual art" but "Concept Art", because it could lead to confusion.

This reminds me of the blonde girl at school who gave a presentation about the black civil rights campaigner when we were actually studying the Reformation...

I have to make a presentation tomorrow about conceptual art.
So, we're all dying to know...
How did it go?

[Ninjerk]

I think it would be more accurate to say dying to hear about it. I'm pretty sure we all know.
