Week 8:  BaroQue 

This is a period of artistic style and used exaggerated motion and clear, it was easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, in literature. the design are thought to be excessive complexity of line. Baroque is the time where art are of emotion and theatrical play is can be shown in the artist painting. 

their stormy, emotional dynamic and forceful style is identified as enclosed art of passion in theatrical display.

Because it was characterized by great drama, rich color and intense light of dark shadow , it was clearly the opposite of the Renaissance art that usually showed the moment before an event took place. Artist in the Baroque period chose most dramatic point and a moment of action.like what in the previous lesson. Micheal Angelo, working in the High Renaissance shows his David composed and still before he battles Goliath; Bernini's Baroque David is caught in the act of hurling the stone at the giant. Baroque is defined as emotion and passion instead of the calm that had been seen in the renaissance.

In the Present Time, most of the artist are expressionist and we can see some famous artwork that had been used the same style in the baroque period.
