14/55

line

Artists use various types of

lines:- diagonal -curved

- vertical -horizontal

to express ideas and feelings in theirpaintings.


15/55

shape

An artist uses shapes to express ideas.

- circles -triangles,

-rectangles ovals squaresWhen arranged close together they

help add energy to a painting. When placedfar apart they look more serene.


16/55

form

Essentially form is the way a workof art looks.

(Usually) It includes the mediumof the work (oil painting), the style inwhich the artist works (abstract),

the shapes, lines and colors used.


17/55

space Space: several forms, including:

illusionist: created with linear perspective, aerial perspective(distant objects lose contrast and detail), size (far away objectsare smaller), overlap (near objects obscure those further away).

two dimensional: objects are deformed into and modeled on theflat surface of the canvas: Cezanne and much modernist painting.

flat patterning: objects are shown as decorative theater flats,without linear perspective: Persian miniatures and some medievalwestern painting.

oriental: a palpable sense of emptiness, with objects as it were

coalescing out of this emptiness: traditional Chinese landscapes. self-created: act of painting creates its own sense of space, whichis localized and not predetermined: some modern art.

primitive: objects are randomly distributed, with no immediatelyobvious controlling feature: primitive, naive and children's art.


18/55

color

Artists use colors to convey feelings and moods within their painting.

They can create a cheerful mood by placing bright colors next to eachother.

They can create a calm or gentle mood by placing soft colors alongside

each other.

Basically colors can be divided into warm (reds, oranges,yellow) and cool (blues, greens and violets) colors.

It is interesting to notice which colors the artist uses, which onesstand out and how colors make you feel as you view the painting.

When complementary colors (blue andorange, red and green, yellow and purple) are used alongside each other,they intensify each other and look extra bright.

The artist also uses black to tone down colors (shades) and white tolighten them up (tints).


19/55

texture

Texture is the visual patterning, and maybe abstract (the fluidity of glazes orwatercolor) or informative (a silk dresslooks very different from one in satin).

In the absence of other features, texturemay help to create pleasing diversity, tofocus interest, and/or impose a necessaryunity on the work.

Eras in

Painting

Era refers to a period of art history which ischaracterized by an artist's place in time and thestyles and materials available to the painter. Thefirst painters were limited to painting on cavewalls with materials they could find in nature.

Over thousands of years new painting materialsand developments in art and design challengedpainters to explore and refine new horizons. Each

era can claim artists who lead the way in thecreative and technical development of painting.

Origins

Early art oftendepicts the strugglesof early man. The huntis a major themecarried through thisage, animals are

depicted being chasedand killed by people. Animal paintings

created by hunterswere a means of

capturing the spiritsof their prey.


25/55

Inspirations Early man was at the

mercy of nature. Hechannelled his desperatehopes and fears into magicrites and ceremonies which

he believed wouldsafeguard and improve hisexistence.

The sculpture, paintingand ornaments which havecome down to us from our

primeval ancestors are amassive record of theimages, obsessions andtriumphs of the early,heroic stages of humandevelopment.

EGYPTIAN PAINTING Art for the Dead

Reflection of Politics in Ancient

Egyptian Art Religion and the Old Kingdom Style

of Art


28/55

Art for the Dead Ancient Egyptian art can

be referred to as "artfor the dead" becauseall art work was

completed for the ka,the soul after death.

The art was made to beeverlasting to provide apermanent home for theka ensuring a long,comfortable afterlife.


29/55

Reflection of Politics in Ancient Egyptian Art

Ancient Egyptian art was

a direct reflection of thepolitical state of thedifferent kingdoms. Inthe Old Kingdom thePharaoh's position wasabsolute, divine in nature.He was a supreme rulerand a god.

The dominance of thePharaoh was illustrated infunerary paintings by his

placement on the pictureplane and his large size incomparison to the otherfigures.


30/55

Religion and the Old Kingdom Style of Art

The Old Kingdom style ofart was created to showthe majesty of thePharaoh.

Furthermore, artistsrecognised that all peoplehad two characteristic

views--front and profile--and so depicted each partof the body in its mostcharacteristic view.

The formula used was eyeand shoulders in frontalview, head and legs in

profile. This combinationmade any movement oraction possible and createdan image which appearsfrozen in time.

ROMAN PAINTING

All Roman wall paintings were donein fresco, a method of using awatercolour medium on wet plaster.

Entire plaster covered walls werefrescoed to look like marble and woodpanelling or were cheerfully

decorated with flowers and vines,almost like wallpaper.

MIDDLE AGES

The Middle Ages, also known as the Dark Ages,Medieval Times and the Age of Faith, lasted from400AD to 1400AD.

During this period, Rome considered itself the

centre of the known universe with the Pope as thesupreme ruler. AGothic cathedral Notre-Dame in Paris, perhaps,

or Chartres, or Salisbury, would represent theMiddle Ages, in such a review of climactic

achievements. The centre of gravity of European civilization had

shifted to what had been the northern boundariesof the Roman world.

THE RENAISSANCE

EARLY RENAISSANCE THE PARADOX OF RENAISSANCE LEONARDO DA VINCI


36/55

EARLY RENAISSANCE

The general goal of early Renaissancesculpture and painting was to emulaterealism and naturalism by using theknowledge from Antiquity (ClassicalGreece). This goal was achievedthrough the use of:

1. ancient innovations such as linearperspective,2. atmospheric perspective and

consistent light source,3. higher and lower relief for sense ofdepth,4. and through natural and tellingposes such as the contrapposto pose.

The Renaissance was a slowlydeveloping set of ideas that graduallymade people aware of themselves,

their place in the environment, andtheir ability to create grand andbeautiful works. Renaissance is aFrench word for re-birth; the Italianword is similar (rinascit) and was usedat the time to signify a new age ofdeveloping achievement. [MH]


37/55

THE PARADOX OF

RENAISSANCE

In order to understand the paradoxof Renaissance one must firstunderstand what paradox means. Aparadox is a statement orproposition seemingly self-contradictory or absurd but in

reality expressing a possible truth. The paradox of the Renaissance: do

not reject faith but includeantiquity. Botticelli's paintingsoften attempted to reconcile thisparadox as in "The Birth of Venus".In the spirit of antiquity Botticellidepicts the pagan goddess Venus.Venus however was usedinterchangeably with the VirginMary. Both Venus and Maryrepresented divine love and beauty.


38/55

LEONARDO DA VINCI

In The Last Supper byLeonardo, the figures form thecomposition with thearchitecture remaining only aminor part to accent thefigures. Linear perspective was

used to draw the eye towardsthe head of Christ. Thevanishing point is placedbehind the head of Christ todraw the eye towards thefigure and the window behindhim forms a halo around hishead. Each disciple reveals hisinner emotion through glancesand gestures. The groupings ofthe figures are crowdedheightening the mood.


39/55

BAROQUE Baroque is the 17th Century

art style which "roared". Theword Baroque (Portuguese for"grotesque" or "irregular") likethe terms Romanesque andGothic was first used in aderogatory way.

It was used to describe theflamboyance and unrestrainedexuberance of 17th Centuryart. Baroque art "roared"

because of the vigorousfashion in which it addeddrama to its subject matter.


40/55

ROCOCO

During this time period theprivileged aristocracyreigned supreme.

Artists were commisionedby the upper class to reveal

the lifestyle of theirpatrons. Rococo art wasmade for rich people andwas about rich people.

The subject matter of the

Rococo style was theroyalty, nobles and themake believe world ofcharm and delight-as thoughon a perpetual holiday.


41/55

ROMANTICISM

Romantism evoked strongemotions and created afeeling of revival.

The name came from awidespread revival of

interest in medievalstories known as romance-stories involving fictionalheroes and greatadventures of individualheroism and emotion.

It was individualism versusthe system; emotionalismversus intellectualism; andrebellion against theacademies.


42/55

NEO-CLASSICAL

Neoclassicism is a new revivalof classical antiquity, linked, atleast initially, to Enlightenmentthought.

Neo-Classical art followedRococo and covered about a

century from 1750 - 1850. Itwas not a passing fad butbecame a way of life inrevolutionary times. Jacques-Louis David's The Death ofSocrates, 1793 is a good

example of Neo-Classical art.Like all Neo-Classical art, TheDeath of Socrates reflectedthe issues of the time.


43/55

IMPRESSIONISM

Impressionism waspolitically indifferent,no longer were humansthe only centre of

interest. Spontaneity becameintegrated in the workthrough unpoised

images. Shadowsbecame minimisedfocusing on form,shapes and colours.


44/55

POST IMPRESSIONISM Post Impressionism is a name

chosen to represent a variety ofdifferent art that came afterImpressionism.

Post Impressionism was the onlyappropriate name to call this stylesince it somewhat resembled

impressionism, but was also unique.Post Impressionism applies to allpainters of significance in the1880s and 1890s.

More specifically it deals withpainters who were Impressionistsbut became dissatisfied with the

limitations of the style andpursued a variety of directions.Since Post Impressionists did notshare a common goal there is nomore descriptive term for themthen Post-Impressionists.


45/55

CUBISM

Picassos revolutionarybuilding materialcompounded of voids andsolids, is hard to describewith any precision.

The early critics, who say only

the prevalence of sharp edgedand angles, dubbed the newstyle Cubism. So in 1907 PabloPicasso created Cubism.Georges Braque later pursuedit.


46/55

SURREALISM

Surrealism was first aimed tobe the notion that a dreamcan be exchanged byautomatic handwritingdirectly from the unconsciousmind to the canvas, bypassingthe conscious awareness ofthe artist.

This, however did not work inpractice because some degreeof control was unavoidable.

Nevertheless, Surrealism

stimulated several noveltechniques for soliciting andexploiting chanceeffects. Surrealism enteredinto a dream world ofunreality "beneath therealistic surface of life".


47/55

POP ART An attitude toward art and

everyday objects that served asreminders of movies, TV, comicsand supermarkets. It developedduring the early sixties.

The subject matter was thecommon everyday surroundingssuch as coke bottles, beer andsoup cans or comic stripcharacters. Paintings existed ofhard edges, practically nonexistent brush strokes, carefulpreparation and drawing and animpersonal attitude toward theart. It was based on frustrationfound within the artestablishment and contained wit,satire and humour.
