Learn French and understand French artistic influences on the world stage

As French artists became more popular in the nineteenth century, so did the artistic movements they personified. In 1875, furniture, textile and jewellery designers were officially given the status of artists by the French government.

French historical and cultural influences can be found in various creative disciplines including architecture and interior design. The Art Déco period (la période des Arts Décoratifs) began in France just before World War I. The Art Déco period is personified by architectural prowess as seen in the Chrysler Building New York (built during the 1920s) and the Prometheus sculpture at the Rockefeller in New York City, USA. Understanding French culture and its influence around the world enables students to embrace its usage and understand its global relevance. Art Déco is greatly influenced by the need to be modern and so the geometric styles of cubism can also be seen in architecture and interior design reflecting the Art Déco period of the 1920s and early 1930s.

Art Déco and its influence in the creative sector are often showcased in jewellery, fashion, cars, furniture, architecture and interior design. Art Déco is known to represent optimum levels of glamour, style and exuberance. Craftmanship was highly specified in the Art Déco period with strong influences of the bold geometric styles of cubism in contemporary furniture designs from the Louis XVI and Louis Philippe I eras. French language learners will understand more comprehensively how the French heritage of attention to detail and perfection is visible in all that transcends this period.
