Santa Monica College Paleolithic and Neolithic Stylistic Periods Mood Board Task

Prehistoric Moodboard – Create a single moodboard that combines both the Paleolithic and Neolithic stylistic periods together as 1. 

Stylistic Moodboards Instructions

For each stylistic period we look at, you are required to make a moodboard that captures the essence of that stylistic period. Each board should be authentic to that time period (meaning that all the images should come from that period and are NOT replicas or inspired by). 

Weekly Moodboard

Each week you will create a mood board that represents the styles we looked at during that section. Each style should have its own page(s). For example in week 5 we study the Middle Ages which is divided into 3 stylistic groups (Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic), as each of these is different they should each have their own page. Moodboard can be done in a variety of ways, from handmade to digital, take the approach that speaks to you the most!

Each stylistic section/subsection should include the following:

1 paragraph describing the style

• Using the keywords that showcase the style write a brief 4-5 sentence description of the style

Possibly to use this as a place to explain the reasoning behind your choices

• 1 labeled example of architecture 

The label should include the name of structure, date, and location

• be careful that you don’t use images that are inspired by that style, rather find authentic pieces from that period

1 labeled example of furniture

• The label should include the specific name of that piece of furniture 
• For example, a lady’s desk during the Rococo period is called a “French Mechanical Table”
• The color scheme for the era

3-5 colors and represent the theme of the time period

• Design motifs that fit the stylistic period
• 3-5 decorative elements from the time period
• Accessories such as pillows, mirrors, textiles, etc., or decorative motifs used to aid in the design

Moodboard can be done in ANY way! Be creative, feel free to pick the method that best expresses your creativity. Handmade, digital, 3-d. WHATEVER SPEAKS TO YOU! As long as it answers the prompt completely.
