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.

Week 7: The Art of Renaissance 







The renaissance art is perceived as a "rebirth" of ancient tradition. it is where the art was express not only on the wall but in the painting. The three man that change the faces of the art history: Micheal Angelo, Leonardo, Rafael. The realism and expression in presenting their painting was magnificent, the gradually change of the model that they used and the inspiration of the artist, can visual be seen. This period as they say the rebirth of art, from the previous lesson where in ancient and Classical art their daily basis was Animals Human, God and Goddess. and because most of their art were more on Realism and expressionism it also become the inspiration of the new artist although they used the own style of painting. 

But the idea and concept of making their art was came from the famous 3. (Leonardo, Micheal, Rafael) the used of perspective  as a technique which is a space appeared in the painting of Giotto di Bondone, at the beginning of the 14th century. and latter form in linear perspective. foreshortening that has an rtistic effect of shortening lines in a drawing and creating illusion of depth, the sfuamto which is use by Leonado it is where softening of sharp outlines and grdual blending o one tone, Chairoscuro which is the oppposite of sfuamto. 


Humanist and Realism
 artwork often portrayed such subjects as Mary, Jesus and various saints-- figures were rendered in a realistic human form rather than as the abstract, idealized figures typical of the Late Middle Ages and Byzantine art. This type of realist perspective involved a greater understanding of human popularity of nudes and an obsession with portraying natural human expression and behavior.

Classical Roman and Greek Influence Early Renaissance artists emulated the Greek and Roman tendencies to give human faces and expressions to the Gods. In addition to Christian figures, these artists also portrayed such mythological characters as Venus and Mars in their artwork.


These techniques is still visible and being used not only by the famous artist in different area of the world but also the simple artist student who are inspired by their art. Renaissance period affect and influences not only the art but also the artist in the technique and their characteristic.
