Discuss how art was used by prehistoric people to depict everyday life; 2. Discuss the importance of their chosen art to the history and development of art and 3. Explain the relevance of their artwork to the chosen topic 4. Discuss the brief background of the original painter/creator LESSON 7: ART IN EARLY CIVILIZATIONS •Stone Age is a term used to describe a period of history when stones were used to make tools for survival. •The unearthing of archeological artifacts and remains provides modern society a glimpse of the beliefs, practices, and activities of early civilizations. •Archeological explorations reveal that there has been a gradual shift from a nomadic lifestyle of early humans to that of permanent settlements, paving the way for the rise of early civilizations. 1. Paleolithic Art is a product of climate change. Artworks can be considered ornamental but there is little evidence to fully back up this notion, that early humans created these cave paintings for that very purpose. 2. Neolithic art has developed especially when life for the early humans has become more stable. Egyptian Art: •The Egyptian civilization can be divided into three periods: Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. •Looking at the three periods, it can be noticed that for the Egyptians, art should be something religious and spiritual. Egyptian Art: •During the Old Kingdom, it was evident that religion was bound to the afterlife. •One of the key features of the Middle Kingdom is a shift in the political hierarchy. There is an emergence of powerful groups of landlords that threatened the authority and rule of the pharaoh. Egyptian Art: •Because of the internal struggle between these two influential sides, art has taken a back seat during the Middle Kingdom. In order for art to reemerge and flourish, Egypt needed to have a more stable situation. LESSON 8: ART OF EMERGING EUROPE The development of Greek art can be divided into four periods: 1. Geometric 2. Archaic 3. Classical 4. Hellenistic 1. The Geometric Period was when geometric shapes and patterns have taken the spotlight in most of the artworks. 2. The Archaic Period placed importance on human figures. This was primarily a result of Greece’s trading activities with other civilizations. 3. The Classical Period - The peak of Greek sculpture and architecture 4. The Hellenistic Period - The time of Alexander the Great. During this time, art was primarily focused on showcasing emotions and depicting reality. Ancient Rome: •The Romans were fond of the Greeks and their achievements in the arts. • The fusion of Greek and Roman cultures can be seen in most Roman artworks. Middle Ages: •Since the Church was the most important figure, the most important products of the early Middle Ages would have to be copies of the Christian scriptures. Renaissance Art: •During the Renaissance Period, artists valued the “individual” as a subject of arts. The influence of humanism shifted the focus of some artworks during the Renaissance Period to empower the “individual.” Most artworks emphasized naturalism, which was also an influence of humanism since there was a great emphasis on the proportionality of the human body. Mannerism: •Mannerism was a period in art history, which was a product of the Renaissance Period. During the Renaissance, artists would observe nature and try their best to emulate it based on their observations •It is named after maniera, an Italian term for “style” or “manner,” and refers to a stylized, exaggerated approach to painting and sculpture. Baroque and Rococo: •The term “baroque” is derived from the Portuguese term barocco which is translated as “irregularly shaped pearl.” This is a suitable description that Rome was the birthplace of the Baroque Period, which according to some historians was a response to Protestantism. Neoclassicism: •Neoclassicism was a movement in Europe that transpired during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was the dominant art movement that time which basically aimed to revive and rekindle the influences of Greek and Roman into art and architecture. Romanticism: •Romanticism, as an art movement, used the central themes of Neoclassicist artworks as a springboard. Romanticists have highlighted heroic elements into their work. •Strongly emphasis on emotion and individualism Romanticism: •characterized by a heightened interest in nature, emphasis on the individual's expression of emotion and imagination, departure from the attitudes and forms of classicism, and rebellion against established social rules . Realism: •Realism as a style of work focuses on the accuracy of details that depicts and somehow mirrors reality. •Realism as a modern movement in art veered away from traditional forms of art. Impressionism: •The Impressionism movement started in France, which led to a break from the tradition in European painting. •Impressionism is a style of painting that emerged in the mid- to late 1800s. •Impressionist artists incorporated scientific principles to achieve a more distinct representation of color. Post-Impressionism: •It is an art movement that emerged in France, which is a result of both the influence and rejection of Impressionism. Neo-Impressionism: •As an art movement, neo- impressionism is considered as a response to empirical realism of impressionism. •Most painters who subscribe to such movement rely on a systematic and scientific techniques that have a predetermined visual effects not only on the artwork itself but also how the audience perceive the art. Art Nouveau: •Between 1890 and 1910, countries from Europe and the United States witnessed the emergence and flourishing of a new art style. •This ornamental style of art was a break from the conservative historicism, which was the prevailing and dominant theme of most Western artworks. Fauvism: •This is a style of painting that emerged in France around the turn of the 20th century. • they used pure and vibrant colors by applying straight from the paint tubes directly to the canvas. •which is characterized by strong colors and fierce brushwork. Cubism: •Between 1907 and 1914, French artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque introduced a new visual arts style called cubism. •Cubists highlighted the two- dimensional surface of the picture plane. •the style is characterized by fragmented subject matter deconstructed in such a way that it can be viewed from multiple angles simultaneously. Futurism: •It is an early 20th century art movement that started in Italy, which highlighted the speed, energy, dynamism, and power of machines. •common themes for works in this movement are restlessness and the fast-pace of modern life. •an Italian art movement that defined modernity as motion, speed and dynamism. LESSON 9: CAUGHT IN BETWEEN: MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART Defining Contemporary: •The complexity of defining the term is attributed to the fact that people have dissenting views on the interpretation of the “present,” of “today,” or what the “now” means— these are often ideas that follow the word contemporary. •Even more so, is when it is hinged on the word “art” and suddenly it becomes a bit fuzzy. •Means “the art of today,” • Another source of confusion is the fact that in the colloquial, “modern” and “contemporary” are considered synonymous. •Modern art saw the digression of artists away from past conventions and traditions and toward freedom. There is the famous adage of “anything goes.” With the world becoming increasingly complex, it required an art that could accommodate such range and breadth. Contemporary Art: •Contemporary art was heavily driven by ideas and theories, and even the blurring of notions of what is and can be considered as “art”. •Reeling after the war, one of the early movements was abstract expressionism (early 1940s to mid-1960s) which took the basic tenets of abstraction and combined with it with gestural techniques, mark-making, and a rugged spontaneity in its visual articulation. Contemporary Art: •Creating energy was at the center of "op art" or optical art (early 1960s onward), which relied on creating an illusion to inform the experience of the artwork using color, pattern, and other perspective tricks that artists had on their sleeves. Contemporary Art: •The quest for actual movement in the works created were responded to by kinetic art (early 1950s onward). Harnessing the current and direction of the wind, components of the artwork which was predominantly sculptural, most were mobiles and even motor-driven machines, was an example of how art and technology can be brought together. ANG KIUKOK (FILIPINO, 1931-2005) Contemporary Art: •But perhaps the most pertinent movement that solidified the move to contemporary art was postmodernism. By the very name, it was a nudge to formalize the critique toward modernism and its claim over art for the better of the 20th century. 9 CONTEMPORARY ART STYLES AND THEIR CHARACTERISTICS 1. Abstract Art oAbstract art originates from unnatural objects, such as geometric patterns, shapes, and formats. oThis type of art is based on landscapes and figures and depicts simplicity, spirituality, and purity. oAbstract art is all about colors, lines, textures, patterns, compositions, and processes. o This is why abstract art is known as nonobjective art or concrete art that usually embraces non-representational work. 2. Figurative Art oFigurative art describes modern art that genuinely depicts the real-world issue by using the human figure. oThis art type's ultimate goal is to provide a realistic representation of life by using illusionary characteristics. o In the contemporary art world, this art style can also be used with other art types such as minimalist, cubist, and abstract art to create masterpieces 3. Geometric Art o geometric art represents different shapes, angles, lines, points, and elements, totally inspired by geometry. o This contemporary art style uses a wide array of geometric shapes, such as circle, square, triangle, and rectangles to make complex shapes and objects. oGeometric art designs come in different types, sizes, and shapes. 4. Minimalist Art o Minimalism is a type of abstract art that uses different geometric shapes, such as square, rectangle. oThe main idea behind using this type of art is used to depict reality without any imitation. o It represents different aspects of the real world, such as landscapes, persons, experiences, emotions, and feelings. o Minimalist artwork depicts a highly purified form of beauty, simplicity, truth, and harmony. Minimalism cropped up in the early 1960s in New York, and saw artists testing the boundaries of various media. It was seen as an extreme type of abstraction that favored geometric shapes, color fields, and the use of objects and materials that had an “industrial” sparse. 5. Still Life Art o Still-Life art is one of the essential types of Western art that represents still life paintings and dead sculptures. oThis type of artwork includes nearly all types of human-made or natural objects, such as fruits, vegetables, food, games, and other inanimate objects. oIn contemporary art, still life art is used to depict the celebration of material pleasures and remind viewers about the brevity of human life. 6. Typography o Typography is a contemporary art style that uses existing and modern typefaces to arrange text and appropriately convey the message—basically, typeface design letters of alphabets that express specific techniques, feelings, and brand identity. oTypography art is one of the most important aspects of the contemporary art design used in the print and web design industry. 7. Pop Art o Pop art is one of the most famous artistic developments that emerged in reaction to commercial cultures, mass media, and consumerism. o artists use commonplace objects, newspapers, comic strips, bottle cans, road signs, and other popular commercial world items to convey their message. o Artists are allowed to incorporate names, logo designs, and images of celebrities into their artwork. Artists have complete freedom to take inspiration from any source or object. •Pop art first emerged in the 1950s but found its footing in the 1960s. It drew inspiration, sources, and even materials from commercial culture, making it one of the most identifiable and relatable movements in art history. 8. Surrealist Art o Surrealism is an artistic and philosophical movement that was flourished in Europe between World War I and II. oThe principles,ideals or practice of producing fantastic imagery or effects in an art oSurrealist art mainly focuses on exploring irrational and subconscious notions. o Surrealist artists enjoy experimenting with different languages and objects to convey their internalized thoughts. Surrealist art usually portrays incredible graphics and proactive imagery. 9. Sculpture Art o Sculpture art is a three-dimensional art made by four basic processes: carving, modeling, casting, and constructing. oCarving is a sculptural technique that uses different tools to create a shape by cutting a solid material such as wood or stone. oIn the process of casting, artists have to make a mold and then pour a liquid material. In the modeling phase, artists build- up shapes by using soft material, such as clay or wax. oThe last step of constructing and assembling involves bending, folding, stitching, welding, weaving, and other techniques to build sculptures. Photorealism: •The resurgence of figurative art, where realistic depictions is a choice, is a proof how varied and fragmented postmodernism is. •In photorealism, a painstaking attention to detail is aimed, without asserting an artist’s personal style. Conceptualism: As opposed to celebrating commodities as references to real life, conceptualism fought against the idea that art is a commodity. is art in which the concept(s) or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic, technical, and material concerns.
