This week we learned about how design was used to make a social revolution. Russia was a country that practiced constructivism, so they just make art for art’s sake. As such, it was forced onto the people of Russia and was a very active force, until it was replaced by the Socialist Realism. Before that constructivism was used in Russia mainly for propaganda, which was very effective for their movement.
Kasimir Malelvich was a Russian painter who began an uprising of Suprematism. He was a great artist who joined with other Suprematist artists, and used geometric abstract art and originated the Avant-garde Suprematist Movement. Given how much influence he had as a designer, I do believe that most designers in general should have a helping hand in changing the world. Seeing as how design has created movements all over the world and not just the Suprematist Movement. From the way I see it, the world has been revolving around design for a very, very long time. Design itself has a huge influence over people and the way that they think. As such in a way that changes the way everything works. So design can be very effective in changing the world, it just depends on how people go about doing it.
