How is the poster for Schulz-Neudamm's Metropolis a great example of Art Deco?

because of the overall design.

art project...art deco/art novae...Bob Dylan?

Hi.
I have an art project (painting) of art deco or art novae(sp?) and the person i'm doing is Bob Dylan. I have the quote "No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky" and i have bob dylan standing and a bird in the sky. origionally i had a chain linking dylan and the bird and i have one where three big links connect the "e" from "free" and the "e" from "even" and then the bird is flying and dylan is standing there. Maybe a cat at the bottom showing the bird cannot land. im not a good artist and i dont really find that i like many of the art novae/deco posters but it is my assignment. I need further help because im not sure what to do with my design to make it more art deco/noveau....thank you.
my teacher was saying to a kid in my class to have a gun and a rose because he is doing guns and roses or how you always see a flower and skull for the grateful dead. i guess bob dylan is always seen with a harmonica...im not how to incorporate it all.
uhh i think the harmonica thing clashes with the idea of nature and stuff in this type of art...

art noveau (pronounced: New Vo)

We don't always get what we want .... is the greatest line from any Dylan song. It is so true. It is meaningful and it applies to every generation.

I would see Bob reaching for something he really wants in the deco age and in the noveau age. but it is always just out of reach.

Is burlesque art deco or art nouveau?

I have to make a painting for art class demonstrating either the art deco style or art nouveau.It has to be a dance poster so i was thinking about a burlesque dancing theme.but im not sure if burlesque dancing was more towards the art deco period or art nouveau period.

Burlesque is broad enough to work with either one.

American burlesque often had some sort of cultural or historical theme to get it by the censors. That is if you call it belly dancing and dress the girl up in a harem costume, you could get away with it. I was thinking of Klimt's women, which seemed to blend to use that ancient look combined with a modern sensuality.
