Baroque~

Baroque period focuses on applying techniques that makes immobile pictures come to life. Motion is emphasized in paintings ans sculptures during this era. This era is composed of 5 elements motion, time, light, space and theatricality.

The artwork above entitle "Happy Accidents of Swing" by Jean-Honore Fragonard is a vivid example of a painting in the Baroque period. Motion is present because we can seethe movement of the girl and her dress. There's theatricality because the viewers can see the story behind the painting. Of all the painting in this era this is my favorite because realistic approach of the artist in the current scenario.

This era I don't think I mean before studying this period I haven't think or did some artwork with lots of motion with drama. But having learned that it is really amazing how you connect things like that to show a story in a still image, that's so amazing! I want to apply this more styles or techniques of this era on my other artworks.

Renaissance

In Renaissance in this era happened the combination of different style like supreme realism. And focusing in every detail of the paintings in this era, that every not all but has meaning on it.  And also the manuscript illumination.  Here also the artists are more or focused more on humans and it is realistic or realistic because every painting they made had connection or story based on real life. This period is relevant in present expression in art because in this era, in this time people or the artists started to put in their artworks what they feel and what happened in reality by expressing it or doing an artwork. Relevant for saying that people is now open, they really do and give message in every art that they do. And there’s always a story behind every artworks.

I must say that this period has influence me in terms that I do draw or do an artwork sometimes based on what I feel, it’s just that I don’t put too much detail having tons of messages in an artwork, maybe sometimes but not all. In this period most of the things also that or the people or encouraging the artists to made tons of artworks are the patrons that badly want something as they can call as their property. There’s a lot of new things and styles that has been made and discovered in this period, lots of combinations. In this period artists has this kind of playful mind that creates a really something artworks. Mostly artworks are dramatic and intense. And about people.

Christian Art

Christian art is more on the structures, architectures and paintings. It is so cool that people those days are really expressive on how they give importance to God though not really because we know that Christians had been kept for so long because they are not allowed in the society until Emperor Constantine accepted it. And when they have been what can we call this? Approved or accepted by the society because of hiding for so long they expressed their being religious in making structures such as cathedrals, churches and basilicas. Well I don’t think Christian Art has an influence on my style but in ideas mostly , I think more on with some religious stuffs or God’s words. But in the style itself I think no. Well I think it’s hard to see it but maybe some too, just a little?

But I would like to try Christian art’s style. It won’t be easy but I think it will be good. Expressing more of you being religious or showing your love to God with art is so awesome. The artworks in this era is so beautiful and still applied in this time. Having them make such good architecture that’s really unbelievable! Ohh!And they don’t really  focus on Jesus Christ but with the saints and churches. They even have the four evangelist and each have own representation. We have here Emperor Constantine and his mother like implying Jesus Christ and his mother Mary. Christian art is depicting things in the bible. 

Ancient and Classical Arts

In Ancient arts my impression was like it's more kiddo-like but  amazing arts.Kiddo-like because people in this era still don't know how to do realistic art I mean copying or drawing the same image as they see it using lines.But instead they draw on how they do it, they don't care about it looks they just need the memories or notes to remember.While in Classical here was more on perfect humans and gods and goddesses are the ones really I'm thinking whenever I heard Greece or Rome.Also their awesome structures they always have the big ones.These two era's may have influence on my personal style but not so much.Maybe more on Ancient I don't draw too much or like Greeks and Romans.Well I like more the naturalism basically it's just natural though it just stay in this nature and this universe.


Both periods have human as their subject matter. Though Ancient art is more on cave painting and Classical art is more on sculptures. Both do or make their subject come out of an artwork differently.Well, for me of course it will be good to have a combined artwork form these two era but the thing is, it's not that easy I think the needs of conceptualizing on how to combined the two will be up first.It will b easy to make an artwork inspired by these two if the artist himself is really into it and love doing the style these two era have.It will not just be easy if they are just trying even if they don't want. Still trying something new or adopting new things is a good thing because it will challenge you and your creativity.

Realistic, Alteration or Distorted Art?

Well for me I like distorted art than in realistic in terms that it's okay if you don't have to copy the exact thing.It's just somehow an abstract art.That's for me in terms of drawing but I love those 3 in terms of the finish product because it has different meanings or messages the artist wants us to know.Realistic, alteration and distorted different use and properties,  that's why it's kinda hard to choose the best one.Those arts are beautiful in their own ways. Maybe for others they have a kind of art that they like but for me I love all because one has different properties than the others. Those certain art has something that other arts doesn't contain that's why maybe I'm saying this.And I can't even choose what I like.


Realistic art is indeed good, alteration is the same and also distorted but in doing it, yes in terms of activity we have the easy, average and hard.We can say that.Easy is for distorted, average for alteration and hard for realistic that's for me because I'm not really good on hands-on or drawing.Okay let's go to the point I want distorted or alteration in activities but realistic it's kinda no-no.But I'm trying to expose or practice myself in realistic art so I can really appreciate it.And yes, it's fun but it's hard.Well I had finish a realistic art earlier and I feel good about it.I have this thought in my mind saying "try to practice more,you can learn a lot and be proud of your work".Simply because most of the people are amazed by realistic art somehow they don't appreciate distorted and alteration.But it's different for me. I prefer all!I love to challenge myself and see how far I can go with these kind of arts.


I already said though there's still a lot of confusing thought s coming but I know,you know what I mean.It's hard to explain but for sure you know it.I want to know about different kinds of arts and try to make my own art/creativity using it.It's good to be able to make my own art with realistic,alteration and distorted art.Well there I can see where I'm weak but still trying is the best!ALL 3 arts are good!I prefer them all!:))

Thoughts in creating impromptu arts

My thoughts?Wait,let's start first with what's an impromptu arts?Well this is when you're in the middle of something and one will say to you draw something or make something out of this or in this situation.At first I was like "woah?!O_O" but  in the end I was able to came up with an art.For me it's challenging because you don't have any idea and you need to play with your mind doing that art with no explanation coming for someone.Me,I just go with what's my mind want me to do and what my heart likes.For me impromptu arts are good because you can really express yourself there without someone saying "oh!This is wrong...etc" because they don't know what's going into your mind, actually it's your heart and your mind who's working what should be the result of that certain art.Well at first it seems like impromptu art is hard.But once you get the idea or accept the aura of that thing you're going to do.It will be easy for you.And you can start you're art and you didn't that you are overflowing with ideas and before you know it you're done.Oh!And also at first you will think something like this "how can I do that?It's hard" but of course it's needed you need to do it.In my experience I applied some of what my professor taught me in our drawing class, even though I'm not really good I tried to apply it even it's not perfect just to make my work better.And in the end I was happy with the result.Impromptu arts are challenging but good to enhance your skills,I'm not good yet but I know there's improvement.Like they said "practice,practice".

Actually there's no hard thing.You just  need to focus your mind and heart , so you will be able to come up with great work.Well I maybe repeated what I just said for the second time but for me that is just the real thing. Believing on what you can do you can come up with a good work.Impromptu art is good really good!:)I think all of my thoughts about it are already written because I only have one point.And I will be repeating it only.

It's the person who's working that will decide if it will be hard or it will be easy simply as that.You may not be really good but I know you can come up with a good art base only on what you can do and because of that your skills will increase and also asking or studying others work you can learn.Try it sometimes, look if there's something lacking on your work so you can apply it sometime.In doing impromptu art others opinion is okay too.It can help you to think what are you going to do for that certain art given to you.I know that if a topic or theme or whatever you may call it was given to you, you are already thinking of something, you already have your finish artwork in your mind.We're just lacking in applying it,because we're scared on how the results will be.For me that's how it is, but I tried and I'm proud of my work.Yeah this is also the thing here be proud!Because it can hep you but having confidence in doing such thing.

Classical Art: Greece And Rome

.
)

For me I believe that the most influencial of art history is the Classical Art, the Greeks and Romans.I think I'm being biased because I love Greece.But still I know what I like about it.Well  in this time the measurement has started,saying that they measure things and building they are making.It has this, the measurement of this side is equivalent to the measurement of this two sides something like that.And in this era they draw gods and goddesses but in human form they are making a perfect human out of it,having the right proportion by measuring it.The sculptures and painting  vases started here too!In this era they are focused in humans about it's perfection.Also on the arts in this era it's just about creating an art.Their arts here have message or have story.The amazing thing also about this era is it has four periods the Geometric,Archaic,The Classical, and The Hellenistic period.This just if you want it to be specific.

In Geometric period they had produced ceramic vessels and used them as mark for graves.So they can easily found each of it.This period was called Geometric period because of the repeated angular patterns on each grave marks and they called Geometric so that's how the period was name too.In Archaic period the making of sculptures has started before the Geometric period  end the artists started to paint people or human figures on those grave marks.That's why in this period mostly the arts are in human form and also the vase-painting they already inlcuded human there.One of the primary technique in this period is the black-figure vase-painting technique it somehow look rough and sketchy.In the Classical period or can be called "the gold age" is where the black-figure changed into red-figure.Where the background turns into black and the color of the skin of the humans are shown.In this period Bronze sculpture was another major art of Greece like the Bronze god.Hellenistic period is the time when the conquests of Alexander the Great started,so the artist became more likely violent, meaning their artwork looks violent based on Alexander the Great's conquest.It seems like that it's their basis.An example of this is the Great Altar of Zeus at Pergamum.In here also in their they are showing real movements of peopel it's like their showing how the story flow in their art.Their arts here are mostly incomplete body parts of people because of fighting.

Greeks arts and Romans art aren't quite different.It continued  the Hellenistic period.and show more of it and made it more in a level-up period.These two is more focused on humans and their structures of being perfect.And making a story of putting of history on the vases,walls building they had made.Showing off more realistic thing about it.And how human is, simple that this era is more on humans.This era has its period on how it evolved.Well I can say that in this era so much things happened and discover to add something on how you're going to create your art or express your feelings with art.They showed/taught us the sculptures,architechture and paintings not just drawings.
