BlOG-7 : MODERN ART

I learned so many things and great stuff in the History of arts. Now I and also we discover the styles of every period. Also the designs, the artist and the style of the painting and architecture. Studying this things makes our skills improve as a Multimedia artist. This is very cool to study also, because its all about art.

The modern art is all about improvement or rather on the name itself, "Modern". It is changes. It talks about Neoclassism which is a french revolution and this period the Roman empire was made a model. It is inspired by the classical period also. This is an example of this period. It is "The oath of the Horatii", this explain drama and also it is a paintertism and shows courage. It has orthogonals and the floor is not horizon and the most topic or the most climax of this painting is the hands and the sword in the middle. That's what I remember about this painting and this was painted by Jacques-Louis david, he is a very nice painter.

Angelica Kauffman who is a woman great painter/artist has a painting that is " The artist in the character of design" He depicted her self in the painting and also show drama and tension which I learn in the Baroque period. I was very amazed on to those who are Rubenistes because they don't made or do draft they just paint directly on the canvas without using any sketch or something they are very hardcore for me. But their painting are like scatterd because it direct like that. And also their is Poussinistes who are drawing drafts they are called the linear artist and it almost true to perfection. The U.S capitol has a hint of classical art because of the architecture and like the poles, I think it is like the Pantheon.

Romanticism is related in Baroque period and they use baroque compositions. The painting " The Third of may" uses a Chiaroscuro technique which uses light and shadow. In this period Photography was made/publish because every era has an improvement. And the first camera that was built was Daguerreotype. It has a light and when the light flashed and it reflect and capture the image through it.
Vincent Van Gogh was famous for this period, he is a dutch master, his mind was kinda crazy and it is not like normal. Because he made a painting that is kinda like very strange. It it the "stary night" As i remember, it is his most famous painting I think. The painting "The scream" Is an image that is like shock or show a sensational emotion. If you know the movie " The Scream " it is the one in the movie, they took the image and made it the bad guy. It is pretty awesome.

The styles in this period was; Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, Post Impressionism and Expressionism.
