20th century

In 20th century art. They explores a new style in the visual arts and architecture that developed in Europe and North America at the end of the nineteenth century. The exhibition is divided into three sections: the first focuses on the 1900 World's Fair in Paris, where Art Nouveau was established as the first new decorative style of the twentieth century; the second examines the sources that influenced the style; and the third looks at its development and fruition in major cities in Europe and North America.

During this extraordinary time, urban life as we now understand it was established. Old customs, habits, and artistic styles sat alongside new, combining a wide range of contradictory images and ideas. Many artists, designers, and architects were excited by new technologies and lifestyles, while others retreated into the past, embracing the spirit world, fantasy, and myth. Others deplored the shoddiness of mass-produced machine-made goods and aimed to elevate the decorative arts to the level of fine art by applying the highest standards of craftsmanship and design to everyday objects.

Modern art

In modern art they are using Impressionism and Expressionism through their art work. Impressionism is a painting outside with a quick, loose brushstrokes to capture an evocative impression of their subject. Van Gogh is one of the greatest impressionist that wanted to express how he felt about what he saw so he distorted the subject. Jackson Pollock did by throwing or dripping paint on canvas. His painting were abstract, an abstract Expressionism.

Throughout Modern Art, the observer can reflect on what change is considered by the artist to be important. While this observation is true about many periods, modern art shows a heavy consciousness of change.When you explore modern art, remember how truly change in 100 years. If you could express the impact of the internet today on a work of art, you would seize upon the concept of Modernism.

Art beyond the west

In art beyond the west, you can see that their art was based on the king's doing and their god like Buddha. The art that caught my attention is the head of a King on 4th century in Sassanian Period. These Arts were the glorified image of the King who was identified as the unifying force that holds the empire together and represents the authority of the Crown. The King dominates the court scenes, and is present in all Hunting and Banquet scenes carved in the mountain or on most items such as ruby encrusted metal Vases and artifacts.




And that's how I'm amazed to that art in the ART BEYOND THE WEST.

Baroque period, era in the of the western arts roughly coinciding with the 17th century. It's earliest manifestation, which occurred in Italy, while in some regions, notably in Germany and colonial South America, certain of its culminating achievements did not occur in 18th century. The work that distinguishes the Baroque period is stylistically complex, even contradictory. In general, however, the to evoke emotional states by appealing to the senses, often in dramatic ways,underlies its manifestations. Some of the qualities most frequently associated with the baroque are grandeur, sensuous richness,drama, vitality, movement, tension, emotional exuberance, and tendency to blur distinctions between the various arts. Baroque arts are incredible and amazing.

Blog #3 christian arts

Early Christian, at that time the christian are hiding because Christianity is forbidden. they are hiding in an underground in Catacombs of Rome. As time goes by, when king Constantine converted to a Christian, the Christianity has become not forbidden and legal to all of us.

In that time, their art are also survive. Their arts are realistic because their basis is a human like angel and saints.
The art that hooked my attention is the The Last Supper that made by Leonardo Da Vinci, and that art is located in Italy. there are some imitation of that art which you can see anywhere even in calendar and etc.

Most of their art is in the church because of their devotion.

Blog #2 The Classical Period

 The classical period is more on gods and goddesses. This is the art I like, because of knowing about  all the gods and their power, one of the gods I like is Poseidon god of the seas. And also Zeus. :)

In the early classical, or transitional period. A humanism began to find its aesthetic expression in terms of a perfect balance between verisimilitude and abstraction of form. The largest surviving group of sculpture is from the temple of  Zeus at Olympia. Although certain conventions in rendering hair and draperies persist from the archaic period, the magnificent marble figures from the pediments reveal a new kind of insight into the structure of the human figure. 

Ancient arts

We all going back to the history. We all know that the ancient arts are not particularly colorful, because their arts are etched or engraved in stone that's why their arts are simple. their arts are realistic and natural, because their only depend on what they see and what are they doing.
 They arts also showing us their rituals and they doing it.
