An exhibition entitled “Chronology of Design and Styles in Faces and Paintings” was held as part of the course “History of Material Culture and Design.”

From May 14 to 18, the Department of Design and Engineering Graphics hosted an exhibition entitled “Chronology of Design and Styles in Faces and Paintings” as part of the course “History of Material Culture and Design.”

The exhibition featured 25 works created by second-year students of the Graphic Design and Architectural Design programs.

The exhibition illustrated the development of culture and art throughout different historical periods through the lens of design and artistic styles. The displayed works highlighted the traditions of the Arab world, where geometric ornamentation and calligraphy became widespread, as well as the cultural heritage of ancient civilizations reflected in writing systems, architecture, and folk decorative art.

Students also explored such artistic movements as Baroque, Art Nouveau, and Constructivism, demonstrating how these styles emerged alongside social and technological progress. Special attention was given to the Pop Art movement of the twentieth century, known for its vivid colors and imagery drawn from popular culture.

Through their projects, the students demonstrated a strong understanding of design history and successfully conveyed the distinctive features of each style, emphasizing its significance and contribution to the development of world design.
