ART APPRECIATION

METHODS OF PRESENTING THE ART SUBJECTS

ASSESSMENT

A. Differentiate the following methods of presenting the art subjects and give pictures for each:

1. Realism Answer 1: Realism , in the arts, the accurate, detailed, unembellished depiction of nature or of contemporary life. Realism rejects imaginative idealization in favour of a close observation of outward appearances. As such, realism in its broad sense has comprised many artistic currents in different civilizations.

  1. Abstraction

Answer 2: Abstract art, also called nonobjective art or nonrepresentational art, painting, sculpture, or graphic art in which the portrayal of things from the visible world plays no part. All art consists largely of elements that can be called abstract elements of form, colour, line, tone, and texture. Prior to the 20th century these abstract elements were employed by artists to describe, illustrate, or reproduce the world of nature and of human civilization and exposition dominated over expressive function.

Answer c: Cubism, highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that was created principally by the artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 1914. The Cubist style emphasized the flat, two-dimensional surface of the picture plane, rejecting the traditional techniques of perspective, foreshortening, modeling, and chiaroscuro and refuting time-honoured theories that art should imitate nature Brittanica (2020). William S. Rubin discussing whether Pablo Picasso or Georges Braque “invented” Cubism, as well as Paul Cézanne's influence on both of the artists, from the documentary Picasso and Braque: Pioneering Cubism (2007). d. Distortion Answer d: The distortion of the figure allows it to become semi-abstract, creating a sense of feeling invisible. Distorted so far as to become semi-abstract, this figure, pained in dark, gloomy colours, reminds the audience of depression and sadness as well as sleep and dreams through the figure's closed eyes. © Pinterest.com

3. Surrealism Answer 3: Surrealism, movement in visual art and literature, flourishing in Europe between World Wars I and II. Surrealism grew principally out of the earlier Dada movement, which before World War I produced works of anti-art that deliberately defied reason; but Surrealism’s emphasis was not on negation but on positive expression. Brittanica (2020) © Brittanica 4. Fauvism Answer 4: Fauvism, style of painting that flourished in France around the turn of the 20th century. Fauve artists used pure, brilliant colour aggressively applied straight from the paint tubes to create a sense of an explosion on the canvas.Brittanica (2020) Portrait of Madame Matisse.

Futurism Answer 7 : Futurism, Italian Futurismo, Russian Futurizm, early 20th-century artistic movement centred in Italy that emphasized the dynamism, speed, energy, and power of the machine and the vitality, change, and restlessness of modern life Brittanica (2019)..

Symbolism Answer 8 : Symbolism, a loosely organized literary and artistic movement that originated with a group of French poets in the late 19th century, spread to painting and the theatre, and influenced the European and American literatures of the 20th century to varying degrees. Symbolist artists sought to express individual emotional experience through the subtle and suggestive use of highly symbolized language Brittanica (2013).

9. Pointillism Answer 9 : Pointillism, also called divisionism and chromo-luminarism, in painting, the practice of applying small strokes or dots of colour to a surface so that from a distance they visually blend together. The technique is associated with its inventor, Georges Seurat, and his student, Paul Signac, who both espoused Neo-Impressionism, a movement that flourished from the late 1880s to the first decade of the 20th century.

Pop- Art Movement Answer 10: Pop art, art in which commonplace objects (such as comic strips, soup cans, road signs, and hamburgers) were used as subject matter and were often physically incorporated into the work Brittanica (2020).
