This document discusses definitions and perspectives on art. It notes that art is more than just a medium - it is the expression of human experience. Art is uniquely human and tied to culture, and allows us to experience a wide range of emotions. The definition of art is constantly evolving as culture changes. Art history, anthropology and literature can provide insights into the human past by observing, recording and interpreting visual art and other works. How we define art comes down to agreement and cultural norms.

Impressionism

Jessica Cole Davis

1. Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that originated in Paris in the 1870s-1880s. Artists used short, thick brushstrokes of unblended color applied side-by-side to capture light and color rather than details. 2. Key characteristics included emphasizing the play of natural light, using pure colors rather than black for shadows, and painting outdoors (en plein air) to represent reflections on surfaces. 3. Founding members like Monet, Degas, and others broke from the Salon and Royal Academy and held independent exhibitions, though their unfinished style was initially panned

Introduction to Contemporary Art

Modern art movements

guestd5fedd

Modernism emerged in the late 19th century as artists sought new styles and materials to break from historical conventions. Neo-expressionism arose in the 1970s in response to minimalism and conceptual art, bringing back traditional painting techniques. Abstract expressionism used brushstrokes and texture to convey emotion through the act of painting itself and was exemplified by artists like Pollock, Rothko, and de Kooning. Optical art exploited optical illusions through techniques like perspective illusion and chromatic tension to create the impression of movement, as seen in the works of Vasarely.

Principle of arts

X-tian Mike

The document discusses several key principles of art and design including: - Design refers to the overall visual arrangement of elements in a work of art. Designing well requires careful study. - Harmony is achieved when all elements blend together in a pleasant and unified whole, such as using only organic or geometric shapes. - Balance refers to the distribution of visual weight, which can be symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial. - Rhythm uses visual repetition to create interest, seen in repeating colors, lines or shapes. - Emphasis draws the eye to the focal point, seen through contrasting colors or lighting. - Proportion concerns the relationship between parts and the whole.

This document provides information about op art and optical illusions. It defines op art as "optical art" that uses techniques like geometric patterns and contrasting colors to create optical illusions and trick the eye. Examples of op art illusions include works by Bridget Riley that use line and shape to create the illusion of movement. The document also discusses famous op artists like Victor Vasarely and provides examples of their works that employ optical illusions. It suggests options for a student art project to create original op art designs using geometric or organic illusions with colored pencils.

naseebko

Pop Art emerged in the 1950s as a visual art movement that incorporated popular and mass media iconography into fine art. It reflected the optimism and consumerism of postwar society. Major Pop Artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg used imagery and techniques from commercial art, advertising, and mass media to comment on the relationship between artistic expression and commodity culture. Their works employed recognizable symbols and objects in a style that was clear, colorful, and easily reproducible.

Impressionism and Post-impressionism

pam00077

Impressionism began in 19th century Paris and takes its name from Claude Monet's painting "Impression, Sunrise." Impressionist paintings used small, thin brush strokes to capture light and accuracy over precision. Techniques included short, thick strokes of paint applied side-by-side with little mixing to emphasize the play of natural light. Claude Monet is seen as the father of Impressionism for his plein-air landscape paintings. Post-Impressionism emerged later and focused on conveying personal responses through strong colors and slight distortions, as seen in the works of Seurat, Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gauguin.

Cubism

Ben Dover

Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. It was developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque between 1907-1920, inspired by African art and Post-Impressionist painters like Cézanne. Cubism depicted subjects from multiple viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. There were two phases: Analytic Cubism focused on geometric forms like cubes from 1908-1912; Synthetic Cubism reassembled subjects with collage from 1912-1919. Cubism influenced later artistic movements like Surrealism and Expressionism and revolutionized how artists depicted the visual world.

Op Art

micahkraus

Op art is an art movement that uses optical illusions to create the effects of movement, depth, or swirling patterns in the viewer's mind. It emerged in the 1960s, building on scientific research into optical perceptions from the 19th century. Major op artists include Victor Vasarely, who helped popularize the movement, and Bridget Riley, known for her black and white paintings that create optical effects. They used simple geometric patterns and color contrasts to trick the eye into perceiving movement without any actual moving parts. The goal of op art is to produce visual illusions through precise mathematical compositions that appear to move or change when viewed from different angles.

Abstract expressionism1

adamhw4

Abstract Expressionism was a post-World War II art movement that began in New York in the 1940s and 1950s. Artists used non-traditional techniques like action painting to express themselves freely without a specific subject. Two main concepts were energetic gestures using impulsive brushwork and large fields of color. Major artists included Jackson Pollock, known for his drip technique paintings, Mark Rothko who created emotional color field paintings, Willem de Kooning who painted abstracted figures and landscapes, and Lee Krasner, Pollock's wife. The movement marked a shift to American modern art and freedom of expression.

The Conceptual Framework

laurajanefriend

The conceptual framework analyzes artworks through four interconnected agencies: the artwork, artist, audience, and world. The framework can examine each individually or connected through lenses like subjective, structural, cultural, and postmodern. The artwork bridges artist and audience, reflecting ideas of its time and place. Artists develop unique perspectives and communicate experiences through their works. Audiences include the general public as well as specialists like critics and historians. The world encompasses historic events, influential figures, and the prevailing spirit of the times that shaped the artwork. Most importantly, students should understand the complexity and interdependence of the relationships between these agencies.

Modern Arts

Vi-Ann Javil

Modern art began around 1860 and lasted until around 1970, sparked by artists throwing out old conventions and embracing experimentation. This led to new ways of seeing and representing the world directly through the artist's experiences. Many new styles emerged like Impressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Dada, Constructivism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Optical Art, Photorealism and other avant-garde styles. Nearly every new style was initially met with ridicule but eventually settled into history, influencing future generations of artists.

Cubism

Juan Miguel Palero

Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized painting and sculpture. Pioneered by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, Cubism involved analyzing subjects from multiple viewpoints and reassembling them in an abstracted form rather than a single perspective. Cubism had two phases - analytical cubism focused on geometric constructions, while synthetic cubism incorporated collage materials. Cubism influenced related movements in music, literature and was applied to sculpture and architecture through simplified geometric shapes and fragmentation of form.

Installation art emerged as a central practice in contemporary art in the late 20th century. It is defined not by traditional media but by the message conveyed through various means. Artists create immersive, interactive environments that often involve the viewer directly and blur boundaries between art and participant. New technologies further expand possibilities for installation works, allowing ideas from prior decades to be realized through computer and electronic components that respond to viewers in real time.

Materials For Technical Use Wood

Antonio Jesús Romero

Wood is a natural material that was one of the first used by humans. Trees are cut down and processed to extract wood, which is then cut, dried, and distributed. There are different types of wood including softwoods and hardwoods. Wood can also be processed into wood derivatives like plywood, chipboard, and paper. Woodworking involves measuring, marking, cutting, drilling, smoothing, and finishing wood using both hand tools and power tools.
