BLOG-8 : 20th Century Art

This era or period is more like in the modern type but since it is related or become the modern art, and this period really began in modernism, so for short all of it was more on improve and progress art. Things changes and also art also change but styles are still their. I think, theirs a lot of style here in the century art.

Vincent Van Gogh is a painter who is really a successor in Fauvism that uses impressionism which he paint what he really express from the meaning itself. In here, they just paint very harsh and paint nudes and also patterns that are linear but when you are a artist you never care if they're nude or what so ever, its all about how you present and express your art or the arts. While Die Brucke he is a great painter in oil canvas. He also represents the expressionism style which he emphasis and controlled, meaning they just paint carefully and like soft paintings.

Like I just remember we just tackled about Cubism and the very most famous painter here in this kind of style is Pablo Picasso he used this. And now their are 2 kinds of Cubism ; the  Analytic Cubism and Synthetic Cubism, well analytic from the word itself they just analize. The Trompe l'oeil means makes the illution of depth like 3Dimensional. Synthetic is a form of papers that are cut and put together that is like fake from cubism. Papier Colle is known as Collage now a days.

Furthermore, Dynamism is also said here in this era, it means great energy or force of the painting in the canvas or wherever it is, and it is also constantly in motion.

Here in this period, their art works are like movements, the motion itself is more important than the subject matter itself.

One of the architecture of this period is the 291 gallery is an art exhibit or gallery it is the most famous building in New York, it is created and managed by the famous photographer who is Alfred Stieglitz and also it is known as the " Little galleries of the of the Photo-Secession".

This painting is a "Composition with Red, Blue, Yellow", in our color theory subject we study all the types of color schemes, as an Multimedia student we should know about this things. So the schemes is Primary colors and it is painted by a dutch painter, he is a great artist he is Piet Mondrian. As the reporter said beauty is simplicity and simplicity is the beauty and it all makes sense. Also De stijl means the Style. Fantasy art depicts angels, monster and etc.

Another painting is a Twittering machine, the medium for this painting is paint ink and water color, it is very cool because they just used simple medium and yet the subject rather the painting still stands out. And as I know it also depicts as childish. From those who are anti-art they are called Dadaism, they are against art by using art also. It is like disrespecting the art.

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.

BlOG-6 : ARTS BEYOND THE WEST

This era is all of the combination of the past few topics like the the ancient art, the classical art, the christian art, the renaissance art and also the baroque art. All of this has a connection between all of them.

Byzantium is where also in the christian art, where Constantinople where place. And it has Vessel that is bronze and also has a part of lamp either a burner. They have an art that is tapestry fragment that was made in woven cloth.

The Indian art is an indian painting and sculpture maid in india. It is also in the modern but it still have its traditional forms. It has its cultural, religions and philosophy art as well. As I observe their earing are gold and it is also big to fit in their ears. In the video that I had watch they are actually big and looks kinda heavy because of its gold and the structure and design of the earing. The indian fresco ( Fresco is a type of medium in painting in cave painting in stones ) It is found with prehistoric art that has a many kind of it. And also the Taj Mahal was created by the Mughals. Theres a story behind it. It was a gift by the the husband to her wife, I think they are empire or something. Mahajanas is the follow of the Lord Vishnu. Vishnu was the Gods of distruction and also he is the Gods of dance. For example of their miniature painting is the Guru Granth Ragamala which was painted in a palm size leaf which show a very unique skill by the Indian artist, it is so amazing how they fit their art work on a leaf that was actually impossible but they did it.

The Iconic art  is started by a realistic idealism, which they combine human and also their attitudes and proportion.

The Japanese art had created ancient pottery, sculpture, bronze, ink painting and also they are now creating cartoon which what they are famous now. Pine Wood by Hasegawa Tohaku is an example of art that they made in ink on paper which they represent a bamboo that said to be that it is not important if it has mountains, they only show or paint bamboos can still stand whatever climate would pass through it. It can stand by itself. I hope you understand the meaning that pointing out.

In African art, they are very traditional. They represent the people, the societies, the civilizations and with ther each special cultures.

In Iceanic art they are native people who live in pacific islands and also what I observe they are rich in stone, wood carvings and painting and also they carv symbols and their era's all about.

Each and every art has a unique skills and creativity. Im so sorry that I didn't understand much about their period but im pushing myself to understand it.

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.
