5. INSPIRATION

Terry Gilliam’s greeting card. 

“Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts.”
Sigmund Freud 

About psychoanalysis

Alvar Aalto’s Iittala vase 

Contemporary design is made by layers and layers of old and new things. The past creeps into today. Tomorrows are here, mixing everything in a fantastic soup.

Look at this canopic vase: it’s an Etruscan example, out of an older Egyptian tradition. Here, in China, you have a Jue vase, while in Persia, they were busy making these other extraordinary objects (called Amlash terracottas). The
Greek aryballos. 

6. Homework
Today we want you to sketch one vase, an existing one or one of your own creation. If you feel like it, you should sketch two vases. An existing one, and a new one, a modification (of yours) from the first one.
