Pop Art

The Pop Art movement used common everyday objects to portray elements of popular culture (the lampshade for a hat), primarily images in advertising and television. Pop Art made commentary on contemporary society and culture, particularly consumerism, by using popular images and icons and incorporating and re-defining them in the art world. Often subjects were derived from advertising and product packaging, celebrities, and comic strips. The images are presented with a combination of humor, criticism and irony. In doing this, the movement put art into terms of everyday, contemporary life. Pop artists also liked to satirize objects, sometimes enlarging those objects to gigantic proportions (note the lollie pop above). Food was a common theme (the ham on the table), but so were household objects such as chairs and toilets being made of squishy plastic instead of the materials you would normally expect. Richard Hamilton's famous work, "Just What Is It that Makes Today's Home so Different, so Appealing?" (above), is considered by many to be the first Pop piece.

Realism

Realism sets as a goal not imitating past artistic achievements but the truthful and accurate depiction of the models that nature and contemporary life offer to the artist. The artificiality of both the Classicism and Romanticism in the academic art was unanimously rejected, and necessity to introduce contemporary to art found strong support. New idea was that ordinary people and everyday activities are worthy subjects for art. Artists - Realists attempted to portray the lives, appearances, problems, customs, and mores of the middle and lower classes, of the unexceptional, the ordinary, the humble, and the unadorned. They set themselves conscientiously to reproduce all to that point ignored aspects of contemporary life and society - its mental attitudes, physical settings, and material conditions.

Surrealism

This is an example of surrealism because it looks like it is from a dream. Surrealism is art that is dream-like images which comes from the subconscious. This is one that would be like a bad dream. Surrealism usually relies on unusual perspectives and symbols to express the apparently realistic but logically impossible contents of a dream. In this picture it looks like it is the ocean and sand but there are sharks in the part that is sand. The viewer can't really tell if it is water or sand at certain points like where the person is located in this picture.

Dada

Dada art was an anti-rational, anti-aesthetic movement. It was started by rebellious artists who thought humans didn't deserve art so they decided to destroy it. Dada art is often offbeat, ironic and strangely humerous.

Byzantium

Byzantine art is the term commonly used to describe the artistic products of the Byzantine Empire from about the 4th century until the Fall of Constantinople in 1453.
The term can also be used for the art of Eastern Orthodox states which were contemporary with the Byzantine Empire and were culturally influenced by it, without actually being part of it, such as Bulgaria, Serbia, or Rus; and also for the art of the Republic of Venice and Kingdom of Sicily, which had close ties to the Byzantine Empire despite being in other respects part of western European culture. Art produced by Eastern Orthodox Christians living in the Ottoman Empire is often called "post-Byzantine." Certain artistic traditions that originated in the Byzantine Empire, particularly in regard to icon painting and church architecture, are maintained in Greece, Russia and other Eastern Orthodox countries to the present day.

Post Impressionism

Post impressionism is the transcendence of the perceived limitations of impressionism by the mid-nineteenth and earlt twenntieth century. What unites them is their movement beyond what they conceived as the limitations of pimpressionism and thier highly personal expolrations of the art of painting.

Ancient Egyptian

Ancient Egyptian art is consisted of geometric angles and the observation of nature. Egyptian craft is all statues, paintings, tombs, jewelry and pottery. All crafts are are highly symbolic and stylized. The art forms are very detailed depictions of human beings and nature. The artist try to preserve everything of that present time as clearly and permanently as possible.

Early Renaissance

The Early Renaissance, was a period in between the Middle Ages and the High Renaissance periods. It marked the rebirth of an era of broad cultural achievements. It sparked the interest of classical art and ideas of Ancient Greece and Rome. The Early Renaissance revived ancient forms and content. Spiritual art changed and devontional art became classical humanized.

Beth Art Assignment - Mannerism

Mannerism was an art style that focused on the human form, depicted in intricate poses and in exaggerated, not always realistic settings. The term mannerism was derived from the Italian word maniera, translated as "style." It developed in Florence and Rome between 1520 and 1600, as a style that rejected the balance of the Renaissance period in favor of a more emotional and distorted point of view. Paintings contained artificial color and unrealistic spatial proportions. Figures were often elongated and exaggerated, positioned in imaginative and complex poses. In Parmigianino's Madonna with the long neck, Mannerism is shown by elongated proportions, affected poses, and unclear perspective.

Meredith's Assignment Impressionism

Impressionism is a movement in French painting, sometimes called optical realism because of its almost scientific interest in the actual visual experience and effect of light and movement on appearance of objects.Impressionist motto - human eye is a marvelous instrument. Impact worldwide was lasting and huge. The name 'Impressionists' came as artists embraced the nickname a conservative critic used to ridicule the whole movement.

Art 1030 Assignment: Realism by Seth Young

Realism in the visual arts and literature is the depiction of subjects as they appear in everyday life, without embellishment or interpretation. Realistic art is generally most closely related to photography as a photo depicts the image for what it is and not what the artist interprets from the image. This image represents an oil rendition of a lion's face and the artist who painted this image did so in a realistic way trying to capture the subject matter with as much consistent representation as possible.

Conceptual Art

Conceptual Art.

Art became defined as whatever an artist declared art to be. Art was no longer restricted to traditional art such as paintings and sculptures. Conceptional art is art that deals with ideas and experiences rather than permanent form. This movement began early 1960’s in Europe and America and continues today. Conceptual artists present their idea in some abstract, philosophical way. They tend to focus on art as a visual language, a code with open possibilities, rather than reducing possibilities to a particular form. If the art has a form, it is viewed as documentation of the idea rather than its physical appearance. In Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs is part of the conceptual art movement. It is about the idea of a chair and how one idea can be shown in many different ways by presenting a definition, picture, and the actual chair.

Gothic art was a Medieval art movement that lasted about 200 years. It began in France out of the Romanesque period in the mid-12th century, concurrent with Gothic architecture found in Cathedrals. The primary Gothic art mediums were sculpture, panel paining, stained glass, fresco and illuminated manuscript. Gothic art tells a narrative story through pictures, both Christian and secular.

DIGITAL ART

In digital art a computer is used to create drawing and or other works of art. Any work done using a computer is digital art. So digital art is very common in todays society. In "Fish fish fish fish fish...colorful" by Kelly Mays, digital art was used. The art was created using a computer and computer generated art is digital art.

Ben Reynolds Art Homework

The first image is an example of symmetrical balance, the second image is also a great example of symmetrical balance but is also a good example of visual weight. The artist has purposefully made the name of the band beeing advertised larger than the rest of the image in order to draw attention to it.

Lindsey Walkup Art Appreciation

This is picture represnts contrast. The contrast in this picture is more than color. It can also represent good vs evil right vs wrong and the religous conflict within oneself.

This picture protrays emphasis because the whole picture is dark, and painted with dark colors, except the white part of the flower. This draws your eyes directly to that part of the picture.
