BLOG-5 : THE BAROQUE ART

We are now finish on the period of renaissance period, here I am writing down all about in the baroque period. It also has a connection in christian art because they also discuss churches and cathedrals but not all of it, just some few topic. In this period they are centered or focus in exaggerated techniques or styles. It has a characteristic which is motion, tension, detail, drama and grandeur in painting sculpture and also in lectures. In motion it is more obvious because in this period it is all about capturing the events or the happening of the subject. They create / made or paint or make a sculpture that what is really happening. For example is David which has a different represtations and also different artist that they present, what I'm saying is they create a painting that has movement in their period. Next is tension, here they show more tension also. Like they really create visible muscles or veins they really show what emotion they what to show us. When the painting shout, you also see the tension their because they show a veins there. Next is detail, what I observe it is more on detail, what they see is what they really paint, they have this style that makes the painting or the subject more sureal, just like that. In drama there are various painting and sculpture that has drama for example is the "Adoration" by Peter Paul  Rubens, it shows more drama and movement also, it tells a story or it has literature. They also has an intense emotion. The last is grandeur, for real I really don't know what grandeur means. Im very sorry.

What I said earlier it has a connection christians, all of the hard work of the baroque has assisted or helped / encouraged by the Roman Catholic Church. It has 2 styles it is the Naturalism and Classicism, they are very more classic and also they made painting in their everyday life.

 They also has a theatre, which they play a  different scene and story that also show drama. They have music that shows art. And they develop and their painting, architecture and sculpture got famous and they improve which leads to another period. It is more related on my course, it makes my skills excel.

BLOG-4 : THE RENAISSANCE ART

In this era, it has a connection with the christian art as I know. It is means rebirth of the ancient. And this it has new techniques in using styles of painting. It is more on depiction of nature through their deep observations. What they see is what they paint in nature. And this influences the classical texts and the improvement of the oil painting and it's development.




In this period, their are artist that was famous on this kind of era, it was Leonardo da Vinci, he is an Italian artist. And he is a polymath. I think polymath means it has a lot of interpretation of him or a plenty of skills, I think. That's what I understand about that. And he created the most famous and top painting in the world. It is the Mona lisa also known as La Gioconda. Their are many revelation behind that painting. Not also that painting. He also painted the Last Supper. It contains Jesus in the center and his 12 apostles. The second artist is Raphael Sanzio, he painted the School of athens. I don't know much about this painting but I do remember a little. And the last artist is Michelangelo Buonarroti and he is also a polymath like Leonardo. The sculpture that he made was the Pieta, it is Mary who is carrying Jesus on her lap. And he also created the Sistine chapel, that was so impresive and cool. That was hard work. And also the most famous sculpture that he carved was David that, the 'David and Goliath' story, and their are many represtational of David.

In the history, their are Mannerism, their are mannerist. Meaning of this it is an artist that was copying direct from nature and copied art insted. Means that what they do is a secondhand. What I wrote earlier the christian art and the renaissance are connected but not all of the topic. The other architecture was the same as the christian art, like the Florence Cathedral, but they have their own representational. And this style is all about Classicism.

BLOG-3 : THE CHRISTIAN ART

This period is all about christianity. I've learned so many things here. And I discover a lot, that I could'nt imagine. Art history is very important to us multimedia students, we get to know the possiblities and advantages of art. We can stock to our minds that back then has a lot of things that ancient people can do, that can amaze us with their skills and talents.

In this era, christian people are very religous, obviously. They hide their human dead underground but not only that, they hide their sculpture and churches. And their are Catacombs as they call it. Because back then christian people are prohibited and stict to this period. Like for example, Saint Denis - he is a christian martyr and a bishop of Paris. And for not following the rules, he commit christianity and his head was chopped off and pick his head up and walked for 10 kilometers and preaches sermon in his entire way. So that how strict back then.  When Constantine was throne in the Byzantine Empire, he agreed with the christians and big cathedrals was build in land and it was not strict anymore.

Furthermore, there are also sculptures that was in front of the cathedrals, like the Jamb statues that also represent something. There are rose window also in front of the churches. They are like flowers. Now, all churches where everywhere. Big cathedrals can be seen in Paris, Europe and also here in the Philippines and many more places. And also mosaics are inside the churches.

BLOG-2 : THE CLASSICAL ART

This period is very influencial to us because of it arts that has been attached to us. With their sculptures they represent almost their Gods and others superiors and with their livings. But as I realize and observe it is more on Gods like for example is the Olympian Gods. I remember some Gods like Goddess of Animals is Mara and Fauna; God of War is Ares and Mars; God of Love is Eros and Cupid. As they report I learn and adopt what they are discussing.

Their are symbols that are used in Geometric period, it is the horse, the armed warriors and the chariot. And Terracotta are clay's as I remember. In classical art in Greece are divided into four periods it is the Geometric, Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic. And I forgot to write they has an architecture like the temple of Hephaistos, it is very cool because of its structure it is very proportion.

Back then, the sculputures is not much on movements, so their sculptures are steady almost. They don't know how to create it in motion, but when time passes they figure it now how to create it in motion. This period is very amazing because of its surprising happenings back then. We must treasure the art history.

Blog-1 : The Ancient Art

Most artist appreciate the history of art. Like this one, the Ancient Art. For us multimedia artist this is practically important because, we artist have passion for art. So we must learn from the history to know what's inside those paintings and sculpture and those stuffs. We get to know more of their  lifestyles of the past and their paintings and designs.

As far as I know here, they first started gathering tools, I think for their carvings inside the caves, on stones and others. They had their farmings. And the image maker, it's like they carve what their doing of their everyday life.
And they are more like a cave man thingy. The style of their writing was called Cuneiform, based on my taken notes. And one of the most famous testimonies of the ancient art is ziggurat. Knowing this things makes us passion-able.

They have 3 periods of art and culture in Egypt; Old kingdom, Middle Kingsdom, and the New kingdom.
the old kingdom consist of the tombs and Pyramids at Gizen. The middle kingdom was a change in the political hierarchy. and Last one is the new kingdom which this era was express by expansionism.

Their are many more that I've learned about ancient art, I appreciate this kind of paintings because I really love art. We study this to have more knowledge and excel our skills as an artists. To improve our talent. We can apply this when we get older.

Be a craftsman in speech that thou mayest be strong, for the strength of one is the tongue, and speech is mightier than all fighting.

The music I'll be there by The Moffats is really a friendly song, it stated here that you can count on your friends. We will always be there even in bad times. It is really a good song for me, cause I really love my friends and no one can ever replace them.

There has been some events that I joined. You can see through our faces that were very happy and it so fun to be with them. We do a lot of crazy stuffs like, we borrowed the polo shirts of our classmate boys and wear it just for fun and act like boys. We laughed and took pictures so that we can hide those memories. And the best part is, is when we laugh so hard like there's no tomorrow. I really miss those guys, there been apart of my life since I step highschool. But, since i'm college now. I've been so blessed by God that I found my college friends that is always there for me and a really great true friends, they are like my highschool friends. So I thank God I found  them.
