History of Industrial Design Week 5: Art Deco

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- These videos were made in 2020 as a desperate COVID-era attempt to help keep students engaged in learning as in-person teaching stopped. With no support, no resources, a ridiculous "production schedule," and no idea they would become a sort of permanent record of the time, I just threw them at RUclips. The students mostly didn't watch them, but lots of others did, and that continues to amaze me. I decided to leave them up for anyone who is just curious about design.
This was the FIRST lecture recorded, intended for the three students who needed to get home fast. It is rough, to say the least..
NOTE: If you are a current student at Rhode Island School of Design and your professor has sent you here to watch these videos, you should really worry about how much tuition you are paying just to have a teacher sending you to RUclips instead of teaching you themselves. Just saying...

What a treasure chest of knowledge. I am not one of your students, but an old guy trying to learn about design. I have never encountered videos of a similar breadth and depth. Thank you for doing it even when you seem to think nobody is watching - I will be. Greetings from Denmark, Europe.
Yes they are facinating aren't they
OK I'm a doctor from Brussels so I have no idea how I got here but I am passionate about Art Nouveau and Art Deco and this is just such a lovely class. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. Cheers !
Hooray! Thanks for joining the party! The Van Buuren house in Uccle is one of my FAVAORITE places; you are lucky to be near it!
Doctor, not to be flip but there's ALOT OF here in the US SUFFERING IN NEEDLESS PAIN DUE TO THE GOVT DICTATEING WHAT MEDS YOU CAN PRESCRIBE SO WE CAN ENJOY THIS PROGRAM. DONT LET IT HAPPEN IN YOUR COUNTRY. THATS WHY YOU CAME ONTO THE SITE.
@SEAN PETAIA me
@SEAN PETAIA Me to too also
@@stevengermadnik3162 Calm down dude lol. Sounds like you need to be prescribed something.
Thank you, I am not student just someone who likes Art Deco. I found your presentation so interesting and I have learned a lot. : )
Me too. Thoroughly enjoyed the class.
I enjoyed this presentation as well. I love bakelite jewelry so I found it really interesting.
Same here. This was great.
Same
Same boat and love this stuff! Thank you for making this available to the web :) and public.
I was obsessed with Art Deco as a child and have always been a Design aficionado. Including industrial design. Thank you for the rich, deep research and illuminating lecture!
I'm watching this from Umea Institute of Design in Sweden as we're in the same boat regarding student presence. I love your presentation and now I wish I had access to the previous weeks. :-)
Well there are still 6 weeks to go!!!!! Stay tuned!
@@HistoryofID Oh, I will. 😄
@@HistoryofID Is there the Possibility of your recording the PREVIOUS CLASSES.... And ANYthing Else related???? I would even put up with Ads, but would really like to hear A LOT MORE! I wish Others would do this!
I was done out of Any Higher education! I think that's why I Now gravitate towards any World History, Art History, etc...
By the time I was Finally "free" to pursue things like that.... go out and get the Learning I CRAVED.... I had become too Ill & too Disabled and in NO better financial shape to even Pay for these websites that want a monthly FEE.. to access the videos. Something I just CANNOT do!! So TY for making these available for ALL... And YES, I assure u, even IF, some of your students didn't make it the end... MANY of us DID! This is actually... about the 3rd? time I've watched them. lol.
(p. s. I frankly LIKE the straight "unedited" versions)
Your students are SO LUCKY to have you. The video is full of amazing information and your humour is making it even more pleasurable. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I have been an engineer in consumer electronics for 30 years, these lectures reignite my enthusiasm of designing and building things. I wish I had access to this lectures when I was at university. I constantly rewatch these lectures and I share them with my nieces and nephews who are starting their careers to try to inspire a love of I.D. BTW Love the "hot mess" approach it's charming and brings a human side to a subject that can tend to the clinical and cold.....Thinks...... sterile white surfaces and turtle neck sweaters of my former company.. Many , many thanks!
The thing that brought me here is
1)loving the style
2)minecraft
3)when trying to understand the mannerisms and mentality of the design, gained through well educated teachers, allows for creativity to flow from a state of natural, while drawing on the principles internalized from the talk
I waited for your lectures since your lecture on "Bauhaus to Broadway" please please put more your interesting lectured on youtube, Or udemy, or any other platform. Your lectures are incredibly interesting!!!!
This video was one of my best random finds on this platform and even though I am not your student and two years late to the party, I have listened through and learned a lot out of it. You have a very natural and clear way of conveying information. I didn't feel like I was sitting in a lecture, I felt like a good friend of mine wanted to share with me something they are very passionate about and it so happened that they knew a lot about art deco. I will definitely check other videos now. Greetings from Poland.
I’m not in your class or your school and I find this very interesting and funny. Especially the part when you got side tracked going off on a tangent about hiccuping 😂
I have always loved and dabbled in art, but it is a real escape from the world's horrors these days. So glad I found these lectures. Thanks, you're the best!
I'm an industrial designer. I never stopped being a student. Thanks for this and all the other videos you've published since.
I’m very happy you included Norman Bel Geddes! As much as I love Art Deco, I HATED this dresser in my bedroom because it’s made of metal and didn’t match my solid wood furniture in my bedroom, in a house built by my great grandfather during the deco period leaving behind deco hardware and features scattered all around. When I was debating on painting this metal dresser or selling it, I thought to learn about it before destroying it by paint and googled the label mark, even though I thought it was cheap 1970’s furniture. And that was when I first heard of the Geddes name, and I was shocked when I saw my dresser sold on numerous sites for $3000-$4000! I couldn’t believe that I was so wrong and thought this dresser was much newer, BECAUSE of its design and made of metal. After learning about him and learning about Futurama, his ideas of freeways and his designs SO early before many other designers. I gained so much respect for him (and the dresser) even though he had some radical ideas and thought so highly of himself. Some were pure science fiction and some were just so cool and ahead of his time.
**I’m at the end and I was listening! 🙋🏻♀️
(I used to sneak into an elective history class my senior year in high school 2 days a week because I had a free period.
I sat behind him while he stood at the projector so he wouldn’t see/recognize me.
He noticed me 20 mins into the 2nd day, did a double take and said, “Wait, you’re not in this class.”
I sort of pleaded and asked to stay when I said I wanted to take this class but it wouldn’t fit in my schedule.
That’s when he noticed my desk.
“AND YOU’RE TAKING NOTES???”
“Out!” He pointed to the door, skeptical because I’ve pulled a prank on him the year before doing something similar.
I was bummed. I actually like history.
So he told me if I want to join his class, I’ll need a note every day I’m there and won’t be able to get school credit for it so note taking won’t be required.) 😂
Don't know how I got here and not a student but love Art Deco and Steam Punk! This is an awesome video! Thank you look forward to more!
So glad that I found this video ! Planning to decorate my house in Art Deco style, and I figured that it would be best to understand the history of Art Deco rather than just Googling what seems closest to the aesthetic. This is an invaluable lecture !
This class was BRILLIANTLY presented. I am not a student but a lover of moderne decor for interior design. I now want to buy that book you spoke of. Wonderful! I learned SO MUCH.
Thank you so much for doing this. I am an entrepreneur in South Africa and I run an Industrial Design and manufacturing company- my partner is an industrial design and this really helped me understand deeper about Industrial Design.
I guess I should thank Covid. Without it, this would have been limited to those in your class. Instead, here I am in Melbourne, Australia enjoying this look into Art Deco while wondering what I missed in weeks 1-4.
Thank you for making this available for the world to see.
Iv watch through all these videos, right till the end. Im 28 yeah old artist and i love your knowledge and delivery of it. Dont put yourself down this is great brother.. thank you
1 suggestion: You do not need to apologize for the structure, delivery, microphone, sound, or anything. This is an amazing presentation with a wealth of information and so many beautiful images to go along with it, and we all thank you for it!!!!
Thank you for a great lecture!
I like Art Deco, and living in Chicago have explored downtown Art Deco buildings during Chicago Architecture Center “Open house” days.
Your lecture have expended my horizons about the Art Deco architecture and far beyond. It took me two days to get through the entire lecture and I have learned a lot. I am not a student, just like Art Nouveau and Art Deco. When I travel or arrange travel for my clients, I always include a tour of the city that will cover both or either Art Nouveau or Art Deco architecture, museums. Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Riga, Moscow, Kiev are the cities famous for both Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
Buenos Aires, Rio De Janeiro are amazing for both styles too, visited in 2019.
Prague is the best kept secret after the city restored building, temples and just accidentally art.
Thank you again and again for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I have sent this lecture to at least 10 of my friends. Looking forward to more lectures.
Thank you for a great lecture, your knowledge of the era is breathtaking. Please, recommend other lecture on this subject.
lovely and informative presentation. you are yourself, which is so refreshing these days to witness.
hello, internet stranger here!! I watched all of your presentation & didn't think you had anything to apologize for. In fact I could've listened to you talk for even longer. I studied science so I never had the opportunity to take design and art classes, but I wanted to learn more about art deco & stumbled across your videos. I can see how many of the themes are even relevant today, for example stripes on a racing car/sports car to suggest speed. Or I can even see how the streamlime & futurism would evolve into the Jetsons (Googie) style. So cool and can't wait to see your other videos.
I know it's been 3 years since you posted this, but i'm an Industrial Design student from another country and school and i stumbled across this while i was searching for resources on Art Deco to prepare for my History of Design exam. I checked to see that you still post, which is amazing and i definitely subscribed because i know your material will come in handy whenever i need some insight on design history.
Very cool! I hadn't seen 90% of what was shown here. I really appreciate these videos being left up for those of us who share a curiosity outside of the classroom. This was a nice experience.
This is one of the most interesting college classes I've never paid to take. Thank you so much for making this information available. I've subscribed because I like your teaching style.
I thought I couldn't watch the whole thing, but now I want
MORE !!!!Thank you !
Thank you so much for making this open to all who are interested in design and the history. I am an older student of learning.. (actually a retired educator) and totally enjoyed your presentation. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Thank you RUclips's baffling algorithm for getting this in my suggestions. I loved every minute of this lecture.
2 years later, and I'm still watching.
Thank you for sharing this. Not a student of industrial design, but the subject interests me, particularly when it comes to the Art Deco/Streamline Moderne era, as I got my introduction to the styling via the beautiful streamlined locomotives and trains of the era, as I'm a train buff, so the work of Henry Dreyfuss and Raymond Loewy definitely ring some bells for me.
i do listen untill the end. thank u so much for sharing in youtube!!! u did a good job!!
You did a awesome job making the video I learned a lot from this video I can watch it over and over and over again
Fantastic videos. Your presentation with passion and knowledge placed in context of the times brings industrial design to life. Thank you.
I too would also like to thank you for your videos, sir. I don’t know why or exactly when but I have had a desire to understand the information presented in your videos for a long time. I don’t know a lot about art,
Design, style and structure if any. I love history. I have wondered how at art and design style related to society. Why is it important?
I want to understand the many periods for art thought history.
I get something from these thanks
I've watched about 45 minutes so far and I'm definitely staying for more (I just couldn't help the urge to write a comment now). I'm just so thankful for you sharing this video. It's all so well understandable, even though I have no clue about the design and architecture. I absolutely admire the way you put stuff, and please don't feel like nobody's watching - I bet I'm not the only one who has been enjoying every single minute of the video.
P.S.: yes I did repeat the polyoxy... thing, took me about six tries
hello sir, just wanna thank you for this lecture. i used to get lectures about architecture history but never had a proper and extensive lectures like this. so thanks for making this lecture so extensive and easy to understand. good day
Thank you for doing this ….Absolutely excellent ,informative ,insightful, enjoyable …..etc.
this was enlightening - I always thought Art-Deco was a sort of afterthought for Art-Nouveau but here I learned: Oh No - Art Deco is the beginning of Industrial Design.
Thank You! I am not a Student, But I learned a lot from your Presentation!
I hope you see my comment. Art deco is MY art love!!! I am really enjoying this because I like the why and how of things, also. I would really appreciate links to your other talks. Please and thank you!!
Two weeks before seeing this video I got a Kodak "Bullet" camera by chance. I was not aware of it but it "hit me in the eye", so you can imagine how pleased I was to see it featured. ps Greetings from Brisbane Australia.
Thank you for this video. I’m not a student but love Art Deco and this popped up in my recommendations. I watched all of it and was never bored and never noticed any “ums “ etc.
And not to give away my age but had to look it up and sure enough, Bel Geddes was the father of Miss Ellie.
Design student at FZD in singapore here, this is so helpful for my current assignment!
I have enjoyed your video very much Mr. Bird. Thank you!
I’m just an internet rando who loves all kinds of design. Thank you for this!!!!
Once you realize that Wi-Fi technology is basically radio but a different bandwidth and frequency you can understand how radio changed things
i really like this channel and the wonderful and humorous course,i have gain a lot! 3q Mr.Bird!
Really enjoyed this lecture. I've had a rudimentary class on design previously, and this was a great expansion! I love both Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
That's an interesting point about introducing modernism through objects. I'm an architect/interior designer and some times this is so difficult with clients. But then you look at their cars, or even the women's purses and i'm like, "ok you're fully embracing modernism and the cutting edge here. Why don't you want to live within it as well??
I'm not a student ..well I am learning so much from your classes that I guessI am a student 🧡
This was brilliant! Coming off a documentary about Frank Lloyd Wright I was looking for something about Art Deco for a talk I have to give. Well presented and a great integration of information. Now ill have to watch the whole series as ID is something I'm interested in, especially from the engineering aspect of form following function. Thanks again.
Thank you for this great lecture, I can't wait to watch the other weeks! Lots of love and regards from Istanbul.
Thank you! I am not a student, but I love design and hope to study one day (maybe when I retire?). I thought that I hated Art Deco. It turns out I love Art Deco, but hate 80s Art Deco. 🤷🏽♀️Any recommendations for an entry level book that describes and defines common styles...I’d like to start somewhere with small bites.😬 Well done BTW this was a very interesting presentation.
Please don't apologise... your audio is just fine... couldn't care less about the tie...well organized and informative lecture
Coup de Coeur 💚Art Déco..!!
I'm totally inspire to produce Lighting Art Déco épurée style but disproportion scale mini or maxi...with recycled materials ..
I'm just some rando watching your video in 2022 but I enjoyed every minute.
I too am not a student, but absolutely LOVE Art Deco and Arte Modern.
I listened to the entire thing! And Im going to do it again and agin!
This is blessed. Thanks for sharing this!
if you want to see some really cool Art Deco interior designs, check out these classic movies: TOPPER, TROUBLE IN PARADISE (there is a killer clock at the top of the stairs that is just stunning and there is a fabulous secretary's desk too!) METROPOLIS
Watching from the University of Houston. Huge outreach!
Who cares Matthew? Well I do and a lot more according to the comments. I was there the whole way. Thank you!
I'm trying to get my home in to around the 1930s era. Kitchen, living room, radio etc. It's a slow process but I hope its worth it. :) Regards from Sweden!
love, not a student but watched till end, thank you!
Excellent and engaging lecture. Thank you for posting this!
Wonderful presentation, I love this and have learned a lot.
Thank you so much for this! It's helping in my costuming class

Got recommended this because Art Deco.
Not a student, but i loved this lecture
This is some great work. I was just looking for more detailed information about art decó just for fun, and here i am an hour on the vid still watching.
Just a random foo on the internet, 43mins in, absorbing all this rich information. Thank you so much for sharing, and don't worry we love to see/hear it. ignore the username lol
Thanks so much! I found this video online, searching for materials about Art Deco, but now I def intend to watch the whole series of lectures that you created. So interesting and inspiring.
I wish it would be "64 hours" 😁 THANK YOU VERY MUCH ❤
Three years have passed since you made this superb video for your students, and for the wider world. Those of us who love design, and here, with this video art deco, please accept our sincere appreciation.
As someone who can’t afford traditional education thank you for making your knowledge accessible!!!!!
I was very happy with your comment, thank you for watching our videos. a big hug!
Read a BOOK. Visit a free library...
I'm only 5 minutes in and I can tell you're a great teacher. I came for just a presentation on Art Deco but I am subscribing because of your attitude and look forward to seeing more content!
This presentation was so absolutely informative..wow. I am 80 years old...and I am a former high school teacher. Your ability to instruct, inform, and present such detailed information is a real gift. I can well imagine your students are so delighted to be in your classes. I thoroughly enjoyed this one presentation and I learned so much. Thank you for sharing.
of course they'b de, all they have to do is look at the pretty pictures, nothing else is expected of their lazy asses...... . this is the equivalent of watching tv as "academic" studies go....
Hi there -- Hey, I just want to say that I am one of the "outsiders" (not in your class) who stumbled across your video and found it fascinating. Honestly, the content you provide here is of such value -- available nowhere else on RUclips -- that you really don't need to make apologies for the lack of slickness. I think there are many of us who enjoy watching academic-level lectures on everything from the Napoleonic Wars to the history of industrial design. Honestly, the apologies get a little distracting and they really aren't needed. It is rare that I learn something new in a field I already know plenty about. Where art deco is concerned, I've loved the style all my life, and I am currently furnishing a vintage-1935 house entirely in art deco furnishings. I find that the angular style of 1925-1935 mates very well with the later streamline moderne style of about 1936-1952. (I hate that so many call this "midcentury modern," as late-50s styles really are quite different than what came before.) One other thing I have noticed, in looking at what is readily available in my region, the Pacific Northwest, shopping via Craigslist and FB Marketplace, is that about half of what survives was originally available at some point in the Sears catalog. This shows us the inordinate influence of department stores in promoting the new style, something you note in your script, and a point that often is overlooked. Anyway, I think your video is a great service to the general public, not just the students in your class. If slickness is a concern, your PowerPoint slides and your core script are so good and so spot-on that I think this might be worth redoing. I am fascinated by the history of industrial design, and there is really no one on RUclips who describes it with the authority, detail and level of academic knowledge that you do here. A little tweaking and I think you could establish preeminence in the field. A friendly suggestion from someone who enjoyed your presentation immensely. (P.S. -- My hometown is Spokane, Wash., and I loved seeing the slide of our fabulous vintage-1931 Fox Theater, where I saw many a Disney movie and became acquainted with art deco as a kid. I think that's where I got hooked.)
