The ABCs Of Art & Design, As Taught In AI Typography
By Mikelle Leow, 05 Jun 2023
Wish you were taught things in school that would have been relevant in the real world? For creatives, a visual crash course of art and design styles would have been nice. Instead, most of what we know were learned organically or through long-winded texts.
Today, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to sum up some of the most popular styles in art, architecture, and design in visuals as easy to digest as ABC.
It’s been a long time coming, but here’s the creative’s first guide to art and design—illustrated with the alphabet by Midjourney.
A for Art Deco
B for Bauhaus
C for Comic
D for Deconstructivism
E for Eclectic
F for Flat Design
G for Geometric Abstraction
H for Hieroglyphic
I for Impressionism
J for Juxtaposition
K for Kinetic
L for Low Poly
M for Minimalism
N for Neoclassical
O for Op Art
P for Pop Art
Q for Queen Anne
R for Rococo
S for Surrealist
T for Tudor Revival
U for Urban
V for Victorian
W for Wabi-Sabi
X & Y: There aren’t any prominent art or design styles beginning with these letters, so here’s a nice little interval before we get to the last letter of the alphabet, which is…
Z for Zen!
