the expression or application of human creative skill and

imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated

primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

MOVEMENT OF ART

was a movement that began in the united states during the late 1950s. It is one of the extraordinary innovations

of the 20th century. Pop Art brought back the material realities of everyday

life, to popular culture in which the ordinary people derived most of their

visual pleasure from television, magazines, or comics.

POP ART

The media and advertisement were favorite subjects for pop arts often witty

celebrations of consumer society. The term “ pop art “ was first used by the English critic in a 1958 issue of Architectural

Digest to describe those paintings that celebrate post war consumerism.

ANDY WARHOL ( 1928-1987)- was the greatest American Pop Artist whose innovations has affected so much

subsequent art.

applies to any artistic work in which objective reality is distorted to represent the

mental condition of the artist. Expressionism has been

applied to works in fields as desperate as literature, music,

and the cinema.

EXPRESSIONISM

Expressionism is an imaginative style in which the artist attempts to portray not objective

reality but rather the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in

him. He accomplishes his aim through distortion, exaggeration, primitivism, and

fantasy and through the vivid, jarring violent, or dynamic application of formal elements. In a broader sense, Expressionism is one of the main currents of art in the later 19th and 20th

centuries, and its qualities of highly subjective, personal, spontaneous self

expression are typical of a wide range of modern artist and art movements.

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM depicts form not drawn from the visible world. They emphasize free, spontaneous, and personal emotional expression, and they

exercise considerable freedom of technique and execution to attain this goal, with a

particular emphasis laid on the exploitation of the variable physical character of paint

to evoke expressive qualities.

Abstract Expressionism is influenced by existentialist ideas, which emphasized the importance of the act of creating, not of

the finished object.

refers to avant-garde works that are consciously designed to surround or

include the viewer as participant, thereby fostering a direct emotional and sensory experienced. The term relates specifically to those works created since that late 50s which attempts to cloud the distinctions

between art and life.

ENVIRONMENTAL ART

Also known as the earth art, it is the art which involves the creation and

manipulation of a large and enclosed space.

Architectural (including landscape and architectural) design must be said to

qualify as environmental art, although the term usually refers to artworks

which do not function as either of these kinds of environmental design typically

do.

is site-specific and usually consists of an ensemble of objects

or effects that work together to create a whole. An artist takes over an installation space like a

temporary squatter whose clutter of possessions challenges

boundaries and sparks dialogue between the space itself and its

contents.

INSTALLATION ART

Installation art is art uses sculptural materials and other forms of media to modify the way

we experience a particular space. Installation art is not necessarily confined to gallery

spaces and can refer to any material intervention in everyday public or private

spaces.

Installation art incorporates almost any media to create a visceral and or conceptual

experience in a particular environment. Materials used in contemporary installation art range from everyday and natural materials to

new media such as video, sound, performance, computers and internet.

Elements of art

PAINTING is one of the oldest and most important art. Since prehistoric times, artists have arranged paint on surfaces in ways that express their ideas about people and the world.

Painting is a way in which people communicate their vision of life, joy, anxiety, sorrow and beliefs.

PAINTING is the practice of applying color to a surface such as glass, paper, wood and canvas. In an artistic point of view the term painting means the amalgamation with drawing, composition and other aesthetic considerations in order to manifest the expressive and conceptual intention of the artist.

Painting is used as a vehicle of expressing, documenting and representing all the varied intents and subjects of an artist. Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as I a still life or landscape painting), photographic, abstract, be loaded with narrative content, symbolism, emotion or be political in nature.

STYLES IN PAINTING:Fauvism—a style of painting that flourished in France

from 1898 to 1908. It is pure, brilliant colors, applied straight from the paint tubes in an aggressive, direct manner to create

a sense of an explosion on the canvas. The FAUVIST painted directly from the nature as the IMPRESSIONIST had before them, but their works were invested with a strong expressive reaction to the subject they painted.

Cubism—is a highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that was created principally by the painters Pablo Picasso and George Braque in Paris between 1907and 1914.This style emphasizes the flat, two dimensional surface of the picture plane, the traditional techniques of perspective and refuting time-honored theories of art as the imitation of nature.

CUBIST PAINTERS were not bound to copying form, texture, color, and space; instead, they presented a new reality in paintings that depicted radically fragmented objects, whose several sides were seen simultaneously.

PHOTOGRAPHY- the name of which we owe from Sir John Herschel who was first used the term in 1839, the year the photographic process became public. This word is derived from the Greek words for “light” and “writing”.

It is the process of making pictures by means of the action of light. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects are recorded onto a sensitive medium or storage chip through a timed exposure. The process is done through mechanical, chemical or digital devices known as cameras.

Traditionally the product of photography has been called a photograph. The term photo is an abbreviation; many people also call them pictures. In digital photography, the term image has begun to replace photograph.

TWO DISTINCT SCIENTIFIC PROCESS TO MAKE PHOTOGRAPHY POSSIBLE:

•Optical- The camera Obscura (dark room) by Leonardo da Vinci. It is used as an aid to drawing was being advocated.

•Chemical- before the photography was invented, people had been aware, that some colours are bleached in the sun, but they had made little distinction between heat, air and light.

SCULPTURE—portrayed figures of gods, goddesses, and

human beings. Over the centuries it became

increasingly life-like and showed figures in more active

poses.

Period of art

RENAISSANCE PERIOD

During the Renaissance, many European scholars and artists, especially in Italy, studied the learning and art of ancient Greece and Rome. They wanted to recapture the spirit of the Greek and Roman cultures in their own artistic literary, and philosophic works. The Renaissance thus represented a rebirth of this cultures and is therefore also known as the “revival of antiquity or the revival of learning”. The influenced of the Renaissance on future generations was to prove immense in many fields-from art and literature to education, political, science and history. Because of this fact, most scholars have for hundreds of years agreed that the modern era of human history began with the Renaissance.

The influence of Renaissance painters, sculptors, and architects has been particularly strong.

Renaissance Architects designed buildings on a smaller scale to help make people aware of their own powers and dignity.

BRUNELLESCHI—was the first Renaissance achitect to revive the

ancient Roman Style of architecture. He incorporated arches, columns, and

other elements of classical architecture into his designs. He was Also the first Renaissance artists to

use linear perspective, a mathematical systen in which painters could show space and depth on a flat

surface.

MIDDLE AGES PERIOD

During the middle ages, painters and sculptors tried to give their works a spiritual quality. They wanted viewers to concentrate on the deep religious meaning of their paintings and sculpture. They were not concerned with making their subjects appear natural or life –like. But Renaissance painters and sculptures. Like Renaissance writers, wanted to portray people and nature realistically.

Architects of the Middle Ages designed huge cathedrals to emphasize the majesty and grandeur of God.

THEATER—From the French word “theatre”, from Greek “theatron”, meaning

“place of seeing”. Is the branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out

stories in front of an audience using combinations of speech, gesture, mime, music, dance, sounds, and spectacle---
