Title:
The Study of Gothic Style and Its Influence on Modern Day Concept Arts
Introduction:
Gothic art flourished from the 12th century to the 16th century in Europe in response of the Byzantine and Romanesque tradition. Although Gothic is associated with arts, its most prominent use is in architecture, mainly for its pointed arch and flying buttress. To this day, the Gothic style is taken as a ‘label’ for visual arts such as concept art designs, yet the meaning stray from the original context, thus becoming rarely accurate.
In this study, one of the objectives is to discover how a concept artist conveys moods through gothic style and the feels in his or her concept art design. To accomplish this, a thorough study will be conducted; all the required information can be obtained through books and journals.
Another objective of this study is to find out the ways of an artist specialized in concept arts producing gothic-esque atmosphere and effect; also on how do they influence one’s perception towards gothic-based elements. To make this possible, official interviews in the form of videos are selected as means of solving this objective.
Kanu (2013) says that “The Gothic has evolved from its conception, with its original form barely hanging on as new styles have emerged to engage in mixtures of elements” (pp. 7), suggesting that the meaning Gothic in modern context has evolved from what Gothic originally meant. To understand how Gothic style has evolved from its medieval days of pointed arch and flying buttress to a dark and moody emotion, various reliable sources are utilized to obtain the necessary information to justify the objective.
Next, to understand more about concept art and gothic style, as well as the relation between the two, a series of research will be done by means of reliable and certified Internet websites as the main medium for finding out the answers, as well as to learn how to
