Proposal for
psychedelic art.
For my essay
I want to look into the psychedelic art movement and what influenced it. I started
by doing a timeline to find out where psychedelic art came from. For example,
the 1950’s teddy boys, 1960’s hippies and LSD. I then looked at lots of
examples of psychedelic art. I look at artists such as John Hurford, Stanley
Mouse, Victor Moscoso, and Wes Wilson. Whilst
looking at psychedelic art , I saw that it was influenced by paisley design and
the art nouveau movement, so I have done some research into both of these. I have look into the reason as to why psychedelic
art was created, the rebellious side that the movement has and the impact it
had on society. I really like the use of vibrant colours in psychedelic art ,
so I have looking into kaleidoscope patterns , because this was influenced by psychedelic
art. I would like to get a look into
paintings that are of a total contrast just to compare the differences.
