Interior Design: What Is "Art Deco"?
I have to do a presentation board for my interior design class, and my instructor told me I should go with an Art Deco kind of style. Can someone please help me with this? Explanation, example, whatever.... Thanks 
(I'm 13, so, I don't know, keep that in mind)
Art Deco was the style popular in the 1920′s and 1930′s technically named so, I believe, in 1925 after the Art Nouveau style. Here are a couple of links to start your research project. Think of the Roaring 20′s, jazz, flapper girls. It was during that period. I am sure you can find plenty of infomation online. Pick up an Art Deco magazine at your local book store. Or just sit at a Barne’s & Noble with a cup of coffee and browse some of the books. Good luck with your presentation board. Relax. You will do great!

Art Deco is semi difficult to describe without examples, but when somebody sees it, you know what it is. Some good sites for you to look at are below. Think roaring 20′s, "Chicago," Jazz, lavish designs, Chrysler Building in New York, bright colors and glass block. . . . . and on and on.
