Renaissance art

Renaissance is known as "rebirth" but it is not only rebirth it is a rebirth of Classical Art Period. This is the continuation of the arts they doing. The most striking characteristics of renaissance period is the transformation of the artist to the different places or society. Because art became their one of their profits in their everyday life. And in their architecture, one of the most striking features of Renaissance architecture was the dome, which builders borrowed from ancient Rome. 

Renaissance is relevant in art because this is the time that art was being brought back to life. Where the artist have enough knowledge and they are all experts in doing about arts. They have lots of idea that they get in the time of the Classical and Christian art period. As we notice that until now, not all of us know about the renaissance art but the remarkable art that they bring is the painting of Leonardo da Vinci "Mona lisa". Renaissance artists influenced and it reflects the inner emotions and feelings of what they do on their works.

Christian art. =)

As we discussed about the Christian art, I remember what the reporter of the class told us, that Christian art illustrates the principle of Christianity, one of their main subject is religion, and the images of Jesus and narrative scenes from the Life of Christ are the most common subjects, some of these are the architectures and sculptures that pertaining to Christian. I remember that at that time, the people are hiding on being christian, because if someone of the senior know that they are christian they will be punished.

If we will noticed in their artworks, we will know what style they used. They are more realistic and on that time they have lots of knowledge on doing this, they emphasizes more on the religion, and the architectures they have done especially the churches, and cathedrals. They make sculptures too and post it on their cathedrals, maybe the people on that time is focused and become Jesus as their center of their lives.

The artworks of Christian art will help me to improve and learn more about artworks, it will open my mind on this kind of topic. I will have more knowledge about the designs of my artworks and try to used something new and appreciate it. Christian art will have much help not only for me but for my fellow artist too, they will learn the true beauty of the design of christian artworks all about. Not only me will appreciate the artworks that I will do but also the people that will see it.

Ancient and Classical Art.

As the year started, we will discussed the different arts. First is the Ancient Art, here the stone age period is emphasizes the old people who dressed in their skins. Maybe the meaning of this because they don't have an idea in the clothes, they dressed used the skin of animals. At first, they live in caves and this is the first time that they draw what they imagine or the daily activities that they did for that day, they have no idea about their surrounding as long as they have food. But as the Paleolithic art change in Neolithic art, their lives were stable, they live normal. In this period their subjects are animals, and human figurine.

,

 But when the classical art came, they emphasize more about the Gods and Goddesses and human also, they are known for their vases and their sculptures. They have a knowledge in curving especially the human sculptures, if we will notice as the year goes by, their knowledge in carving went to perfection. Until now, we all know that their style is popular and patronize especially for us the artist. As we do our artworks we have a lot of idea that comes to our mind, even if it is realistic or altered that way. It inspired me of their arts, especially when they draw on the walls, they have no idea what is all bout, maybe when i saw it I will think that it was a diary or something. Just Kidding! And it inspired me also their sculptures that looks like a real human, they also tried to carve something that the human do or the moves of a man. It is an inspiration for us, who is in industry, we are facing lots of artworks. It can be your guide when we create artworks, you will have also an idea on what you will draw even if it is realistic or distorted.

Realistic or Distorted?

If we will noticed, this two people are sitting in a silent and cool place, that surrounded with lots of trees. We will now get what is the meaning of this kind of painting, maybe the boy is courting the girl or they were couples already. We will see the realistic of this painting, because until now, it is happening. Realistic painting are the visual arts that can easily understand the message of an art work or an painting. We will know quickly what is the meaning of that. As I read one of the meaning of the realistic art, I found out that it is their everyday character, and situation on their lives. Maybe it is true, because we all know that this shot is real.

This is a example of alteration or distorted art. If we see it at first, we cannot appreciate it. Because we cannot understand what is the message of it. We are not sure what the artist want to share for us. But for other people, it looks like a cool painting because of its uniqueness. Alteration or distorted art is hard to understand, you are not basing on what your thinking and what you are seeing in true life. It is easy to make but hard to understand. But if you this in your own and you are inspired in working on it, it will have a good result. Let's appreciate it! And try to do your own artworks, for sure you will like it!

For now, I prefer in distorted arts because it is easy to do. You just sit and imagine until you have an idea. Anything that comes to your mind, you can draw it. Unlike in realistic, if you want to draw something and you are not good at that like me, its so hard but it is a practice to you to draw it perfectly and detailed. Like me, I'm not good in drawing, but I'm trying. I ask for help to my classmates and they taught me on how to have a beautiful result. If you want to get something you must earned that and practice more.

It is a test!

Do you already experience this test? You have no idea what you will do, maybe you experience this and you  overcome it. You will experience this when you  have no idea what is going on and somebody gave you a work and it must be impromptu or you don't care what will happen to you . It is so nervous at first right? But you will try to overcome or to finished it successfully. It can help us to improve and express what is in our mind, and can improve our self confidence as well. Impromptu  works is one of the test on your career if you have a fast knowledge or idea to have a better works and if will give you a best output, maybe if you like this you will be recognize as professional. 

I already experience this much, and I experience this last Thursday in LPU. We and my classmates have no idea what we will do. Because that morning theres a program, it is called as PRISSA or Private Schools Athletic Association, at that morning we have a game in our Filipino, it is called as Amazing Race, and we go around the schools to find the clues and theres a lots of people coming from different schools. We don't have an idea what is going on, and when my classmate texted us that our professor, Ms. Anna that we need to go in gym. When we got there, it is the opening of the PRISAA and it was held and hosted in LPU.

But, my classmate told us that we will draw in our sketch pad, and the is about whats happening in the event, and it must based in a action or moves. It is impromptu, you have no idea what you will draw because you will focused much in the event, it is little bit nervous because you have no idea, and the other students and maybe the officers wondering what we are doing that time. But when the event finished, I have a drawing and just need to polished. I successfully finished it and passed it before the deadline. Lesson learned, that you will finished it well as if you have a trust in yourself that you can do it.

It is the reality.

As we back to our discussion last week, I think that the most influential Art for us is the modern art. We all know what is art, even though we didn't have a talent in painting or drawing, if the art we know is in our heart we will have a good and a better result.I know and you know too that we grow in the art of modern and it is popular until now. Many of the artist now is basing on their experience or they based their work in what they saw or  what they imagine. If we noticed in the modern art, we see and recognize that it is in the reality or present happening now.

Realism was an artistic movement that began in France in the 1850s. Many paintings depicted people at work,  the changes  by the Industrial and Commercial Revolution.. The popularity of such 'realistic' works grew with the introduction of photography,  a new visual source that created a desire for people to produce representations which look “objectively real.”. In the visual arts, realists render everyday characters, situations, dilemmas, and objects, all in a "true-to-life" manner. The artists simply focused on what was happening in front of them.This exhibition brings together for the first time the work of 68 American painters, sculptors, and photographers who explored a new mode of modern realism in the years bounded by the aftermath of the Great War and the onset of the Great Depression.

Modern realism focused on showing everyday, activities and life. Modern realism "begins from the position that truth can be discovered by the individual through the senses" and as such "it has its origins. and received its first full formulation by Thomas Reid in the middle of the eighteenth century.Since the rise of modern art, realism, realist, or realistic, has come to be primarily a stylistic description, referring to painting or sculpture that continues to represent things in a way that more or less date Now we know now when the modern art discoveries, for me this is the most influential art until now and maybe in the future generation too.

Mysterious Girl.

 Do you know who is she? Why she create? and why she has no eyebraws and eyelashes? These are some questions that we like to answer. This girl is so mysterious to us, until now. When we see the picture at first, the first thing that comes to our mind is why she doesn't have eyebrows? Is it unfinished? As I research about Mona Lisa, I knew more about her, she is a oil painting on poplar wood, the portrait was started by Da Vinci in 1503 and took about four years to complete. As he finished the painting, there are a lot of controversies that he face, a lot of debates that he encounter. There are two biggest mysteries about Mona Lisa, these are her identity and her smile. There are lot of theories about the identity of Mona Lisa. The Italians call her La Gioconda, The French call her La Joconde,provoking many thoughts and theories about the Mona Lisa. Most experts now believe that she is Lisa del Giocondo, the third wife of a wealthy Florentine silk merchant named Francesco del Giocondo.The title Mona Lisa simply means "Madam Lisa."

Still, the experts were confused about this kind of painting, there are a lot of theories that they discussed about her, they believe that she is the Duchess of Milan, Isabella of Aragon and they believe that this is a more recent thought that this is the feminine version of Da Vinci himself. Is she has no eyebraws? One of the scientist said that  it was not logical that Mona Lisa does not have any eyebrows or eyelashes but he discovered one hair of the eyebrow. Ohh! I was surprise when i saw this line, I cannot believe that this is true she has a eyebrows. Ofcourse, we know and we grow up that we believe that Mona Lisa doesn't have eyebrows this is her tagline, when we saw a person that have no such eyebrows we call them as like Mona Lisa. But now, I know now that that she has EYEBROWS. I cannot believe, but it's true! :)





 Another mysterious about this girl is her mysterious smile. The experts said that, the mystery behind the smile, art experts often refer to a painting technique called sfumato, which was developed by Da Vinci. In Italian, sfumato means "vanished" or "smoky," implying that the portrait is ambiguous and blurry, leaving its interpretation to the viewer's imagination. This technique uses a subtle blend of tones and colors to produce the illusion of form, depth and volume. When a person looks at the painting, the  focuses on her eyes, leaving the peripheral area on her mouth. Peripheral vision is less accurate and does not pick up details, so the shadows in her cheekbones augment the curvature of her smile.When the viewer looks directly at the woman's mouth, however, it does not pick up the shadows, and the portrait no longer appears to be smiling. Therefore, the appearance and disappearance of her smile really is an attribute of viewers' vision. This is one of the reasons why the painting has remained an enigma to art enthusiasts and perhaps the most famous painting in the world.
