"Art Nouveau, ornamental style of art that flourished between about 1890 and 1910 throughout Europe and the United States. Art Nouveau is characterized by its use of a long, sinuous, organic line and was employed most often in architecture, interior design, jewelry and glass design, posters, and illustration. It was a deliberate attempt to create a new style, free of the imitative historicism that dominated much of 19th-century art and design."

| William Morris wall paper design Thinking about the leaf motif I've been working in with various techniques, I wanted find a nice art nouveau example, this is a really lovely illustrative leaf pattern by Morris. the colours are earthy and rich, its a really beautiful design, the forms look similar to this fungus that I was looking at as part of my autumn research. |
This tiffany lamp, typical of art nouvea design and features a dragonfly motif. |
| Dragonfly brooch Another dragonfly, this brooch design features a woman/ insect and is similar to the fairy theme I've been looking at for my dragonfly. |
