Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Shapes
Shapes Are Purposeful: Anytime you see them its Significant…
Geometric: Made up of Squares, Triangles, and circles. The Building blocks of the principles of the Avant-guard. The primary shapes. All about structure and symmetry. Many times, you will see these on a magazine cover. In these instances, you can look at it as a purist approach to the avant-garde. Shaking off all previous styles and going back to the building blocks, the foundation.
Organic: These are the shapes based in nature. They are more free flowing and less about using the building blocks. Instead they are more about advancing the concept a step further. Now you’re past the starting point and on to the conversation. What is the avant-garde Now?
Abstract: Are simple versions of common elements. Based in the Organic and Geometric but not as easily defined. This is the advanced stage. This is what is. avant-garde in all its purity.
