1. From Romanticism, I learned that nature was the primary focus, and inspiration of the time period. This is important, because it defined the style of all of the popular artwork, and ideas. The time period along with this, was also very imaginative, and more idealized the way people should look, not how they actually looked.
2. From the Pre-Ralphaelite Brotherhood, I learned that the PRB started out with just 3 members, but grew to 7. William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rosetti were the 3 original members of the PRB. This is important, because it tells a little about the history of the PRB, and how it was formed. The founders defined the period.
3. From the Realism period, I learned that the art was very based on truth& what the eyes could physically see, versus the more imaginative style of the Romanticism period. This is important, because this truthful, realistic art style shows the transition/ differences in art from one period to another. The realistic aspect defines the period.
4. During the Neoclassical period, I found it very interesting that there was a thing called Grand Tour. Wealthy people would travel to Europe visting lots of museums and looking at the beautiful art of the time period. These wealthy travellers would often get souvenirs and mementos, to remember the locations where they visited. This is cool, because a lot of Americans like getting souvenirs now too when visiting other countries. This is important, because it was a popular trip, and the wealthy people became enriched in the arts.
5. During the Rococo period, I learned that all the art, especially paintings were very ceamy, pastel like& gold colors. Also, asymmetry was extremely present during the Rococo period. Art was light hearted, both physically and visually. Shapes were also graceful and light. These characteristics of the Rococo period, are important because almost all of the art this group presented, was of white, creamy, and gold colors. This light, white, gold, pretty style of paintings, was key. I found this period's art to be very beautiful.

1. From the Baroque period, I learned that the Austrian national library collected knowledge. I found it interesting that they used an illusion to make it look like the celling went further up than it actually did. It was like they wanted people to look up to knowledge, without costing too much for a big building.
2. During the Pre- Raphaelite Brother period, I learned that the brotherhood changed the history of art by rebelling against the art academy. I found it interesting that a group of people could join together and create their own kind of art. It surprised me when there was another group of artists, but they failed to start another artistic movement.
3. During the Realism period, I learned that the Eifel Tower was built. I found that interesting because Realism was a time where art was focused on common folk, like Mark Twain did. It was also when the Eifel Tower, a beacon of light, and high class was made during a time of lower class.
4. In the Rococo period, I learned that gardens were important. They had to be mathematically correct, and symmetrical. They also had big columns and ponds. During a time of high class, and Mozart, this comes at no surprise that their gardens were high class as well.
5. During the Neo-Classical period, I learned that the painting of the Death of Socrates was met with critical success. One reviewer said it was in every sense perfect. I found that interesting because the history it told was long before the painting, so how could a reviewer say it was perfect? It was beautiful, and powerful, and so was the period of the Neo-Classical period.

1. What I learned from the Baroque period was that with the music, it was very classical and instrumental. I also learned that opera was the basis of this whole period. Also the paintings were very realistic and dark but with warm colors.
2. Another Period we learned about was the Rococo period. This period was the end of the Baroque period. The art was very elegant and playful.
3.We also learned about the Neoclassical era. This period was based off of common sense and it was inspired by Roman cities. Frescoes were very popular during this time. And sculptures were always very detailed.
4.Romanticism was during the 19th century. The concept of it was based off of human values and there were lots of visual arts. And its very interesting how symphonies were formed in a poetic fashion.
5. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was formed in 1848 and consisted of several different artists, and it was basically a group that was created by a group of men. It really changed the Victorian art style. It basically emulated late medieval and the early Renaissance period.

1. The Italian Renaissance revolved around the belief that man was the center of the universe, and their culture was based on Christianity. I thought this was interesting because it transitioned into all of their artwork. Such as their music, composers Pierre de La Rue and Josquin des Prez focused on religious songs.
2.During the Mannerism period their art was defined as distorted. I thought it was an interesting style for the colors and shapes to be distorted. It also transitions into the idea of abstract art, where the artist does what they please and how they want to see the figure depicted as.
3.The Rococo Era was a direct result from the Baroque era, although a more graceful version of it. The focus on mathematics and symmetry was shown in all artwork and especially gardens and architecture. Although, it was interesting how towards the end of the era the gardens transitioned to become more naturalistic and landscaped rather than perfectly symmetrical.
4.While learning about the Pre-Ralphaelite Brotherhood era, it caught my attention that the group started when three men wanted to rebel and reject the techniques and manners of the Royal Academy of Art. They objected the Raphael techniques of art, which relates to their name "pre-ralphaelite". It's interesting how only 3 men made their own group and made such an impact on art history.
5.Romanticism caught my attention because of its focus on nature and depicting the beauty of landscapes. The art was very beautiful, but exaggerated and one can tell the artist used imagination in their work. This exaggerated type of art brought on strong emotions and feelings, allowing the viewer to feel as if they were there and could feel what the art was depicting.

1.Mannerism- From Mannerism I really liked their paintings. I like that they lacked a clear perspective in their art that made it more intriguing to look at. Also I liked the highly stylized poses that their subjects had and their use of movement.
2.Romanesque- In the Romanesque period I liked their decorative arts. All their craved details were very elegant. I love looking at all the details because the pieces were so intricate and interesting.
3.Neoclassical- During the neoclassical era I like that artists focused more on society as their subjects then metaphors. I like how by just looking at their art you can see what society was like. Also their art really shows what they valued as a society.
4.Romanticism- From this era I really appreciate how their subjects were usually their emotions, human values and the beauty of nature during this era. I found the subject interesting and how they were showing human trying to rescue themselves in their nature. I thought the painting were very insightful and cool.
5.Realism- This era is defiantly my favorite. I love seeing pictures of raw real life; I think it is very grounding and educational. Especially of the lower class. I love this style of art back in the 1850’s- 1910’s and now-a-days.

1. From the Rococo period, I learned that a majority of the figures found in paintings were captured in dainty and curvy forms. In the architecture from this period, there was little to no use of straight lines, almost all were curved. I also found it very interesting that fashion magazines first started from the Rococo period.
2. From the Neoclassic period, I learned that it was a time influenced by a common sense of society over individualism. I also learned that much of the art from this period was intended to imitate that of both the Greek and Roman. It is fascinating to me that features of the White House or based on elements of neoclassical architecture.
3. From the period of Romanticism, I learned the art’s main focus was on the emotion of the artist. During this period the belief that marriage should be out of love and freedom became more popular. Landscape art from this time, has a high influence on modern landscaping design.
4. From the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, poetry became more sensual, symbolic and representative of medieval realism. This movement had the greatest significance in Scotland. The brotherhood ended in 1854 when the founding members all followed different artistic directions.
5. From the period of Realism, I learned the main goal of this time was to create a form of art that was as realistic as possible, with truthful representation and little to no glorification. This period rejected the ideology from the period of romanticism. I also learned that some of Van Gogh’s earlier works could be considered as work of realism.

1. Art of the Rococo period typically displays characteristics of ornate design and fine, delicate features. Sculpture and architecture feature excessively decorative. Painting subjects included foreign lands, mythical characters and creatures, and finely detailed depictions of beautiful landscapes and upper class women in fancy clothing.
2. Neoclassicism is a revival of the styles and spirit of classic antiquity. It was influenced by common sense of society. The art was very powerful and you could see what society was like by just looking at the picture.
3. Romantic art was an artistic movement of the 18th and 19th centuries. It came about as a form of artistic rebellion against the orderly Enlightenment era. Its main characterizations are dark, chaotic subject matter and nature's ascendancy over mankind.
4. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was formed by a group of young art students and intellectuals. They were revolting against the current art tomake there own kind of art. It is interesting how 3 young boys made such an impact in 1848 .
5. In the period of Realism they wanted to make art as realistic as they could. Realism was based on direct observation of the modern world. Also I learned that the Eifel Tower was built during this time.

1. I learned that Baroque means an irregularly shaped pearl. This was a bizarre and unusual time period. I also learned that one of my favorite pieces of music, Canon in D, was written by Johann Pachelbel. He also had over 200 compositions.
2. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had three main founding fathers. William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti were the the three. Later it turned into a brotherhood of 7.
3. Neo-Classical was a western movement that went against Rococo. During this time, The Grand Tour took place. This was a fad of collecting various pieces of art. People would take the pieces of art home, which caused art to spread through europe.
4. Rococo which means shell was considered late baroque. The architects in this time used patterns, and shell shapes to make things look delicate. Furniture in this time was made out of mahogany because of the strength it had.
5. Romanticism started in europe. The paintings had lots to do with nature, showing renewal and peaceful aspects. Paintings of nature also depicted emotion. The music in this time was a revolt against classical music.

ReplyDelete1. During the Rococo, or "late Baroque" period, I learned that mostly everything relating to art was very delicate. From the simple and pastel colors to the marble statues, the artwork in that era was very intricate and delicate. I found this odd, because their fashion was quite the opposite; there were many bold colors as well as layers.
2. During the time of Neo-Classical Art, it was found that there were no sculptors that really stood out, due to the excess amount of sculptures being made. I thought this was incredibly weird, because it seemed that through every other era, there were a lot of extremely famous sculptors! It makes me question why there was a huge outbreak of creating sculptures during this time.
3. During the time of of Romanticism, it was known that a lot of artists had a very strong relationship with nature. Most paintings revolved around the outdoors. I found it very weird how famous artists from that time would exaggerate the beauty in nature, even though they had a deep relationship with it.
4. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a very odd era, in my opinion, because it consisted of the Brotherhood of Seven. This was a group of English painters, poets, and critics. This brotherhood was what really shaped the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood era, which I found very different because no other time period consisted of this.
5.Realism was basically the opposite of Romanticism because it based itself around truth. It makes sense that they were so different compared to each other, because realism focused on social issues and what they saw right in front of them, whereas romanticism focused on the ideal and perfection they wanted to see. Some paintings even offended citizens due to what the painters portrayed in their art.

1. Rococo gardens were extremely symmetrical. I I thought this was really cool, my aunt is a landscape architect and she is always trying to find the balance of organization and spontaneity, she purposely designs landscapes that are not symmetrical. The Rococo gardens were gorgeous and the pictures I saw looked like they had been taken out of a fairy tale!
2. America was founded during the Neo-classical period of Art. I found this very interesting because I recognized some of the paintings and sculptures from my APUSH textbook last year. I always think it is cool when classes overlap like this and it helps me to achieve a greater all around understanding of the topics.
3. Romanticism was a rebellion against the industrial revolution. The focus was on nature and the extreme power that nature has over humans. The painters created these masterpieces during a time is which people were taking natural resources and abusing the earth in order to manipulate the world around them. The contrast is quite dramatic.
4. One characteristic of the PRB is that it put a lot of symbolic meaning into its paintings and poetry. I really enjoyed studying this era because the paintings had so much social commentary that I could analyze. People can get two different meanings out of the same painting as the ambiguity is fun.
5. Realism is very similar to what I found in my research about the PRB. Realism was a response to Romanticism and it sought to make art more realistic. They didn't want to create the perfect scene because life is not perfect and should not be portrayed as such.

1. In the Romanesque period, churches were really decorative compared to past eras. There were a lot of windows and linear patterning influenced the stained glass. The churches had thick walls, I would assume to keep in heat. And most of the buildings had large arches and semi-circles within their architecture.
2. The Rococo era revolved around light-hearted paintings. The subjects of the paintings were mainly upper class with curving forms and dainty figures. The themes were elegant and charming surrounded by a pastoral landscape. Sexual and mythological themes also became very popular.
3. Romanticism defined verbal concepts of human values. Visual arts contained the beauty of nature. There was a strong connection to science and religion. It was thought that landscape was of spiritual and physiological values. And nature was seen through scientific theory.
4. Realism means to represent something truthfully and doesn’t glorify anything. In this era they rejected the ideology of Romanticism. Portraits were made to look like a photograph, that’s how realistic they were. Art also used everyday people and there was no real focal point in the paintings.
5. The Italian Renaissance began in Italy and the Catholic Church commissioned the paintings. Portraits of people became very popular. Humanism influenced the manner in which the art was painted. This era was also the beginning of realism, perspective, landscape, and naturalism in the visual arts.

1. During the Baroque period the sculptures that were made told stories of the gods and Greek mythology and were very detailed. I found this interesting because it seems that many of the other periods also did this. What I am wondering is what made the Greek time period so appealing that so many different art periods would try to replicate it. It is very amazing to me that a period from so long ago would have inspired so many different things
2. In the Neo-Classical period some women would use Greek hairstyles. I thought that this was another thing that was kind of weird because not only were people copying Greek art and mythology they were also trying to dress and be like how they used to be. The whole obsession with the Greek era doesn't really make a lot of sense to me because it was in the distant past from when these movements started and I don't see how they are so idolized in these periods.
3. During the Romanticism period they focused on teaching people to care and respect others and they had a large focus on nature. I though that this was cool because it was something different from all the other art styles. I also like how they wanted to teach the people and they were afraid that there would be no more nature left in the world because of humans. I really enjoy nature and like how they emphasize it.
4. In the period of the Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood they wanted to create a new style of art by rejecting idealism. The reason they did this was because they thought that Raphael had been a corrupting influence on art and wanted things to be realistic. They did this by making things realistic and not completely perfect. I thought this was cool because I like how they tried to make things realistic and the fact that they realized things aren't completely perfect.
5. Realism was a literary movement that took place from the 1850's to 1910. Realism was against Romanticism but at the same time it came from Romanticism. This really confused me because how could something that branches off from another be completely against it. Realism wanted to show an insight into what was really going on in the world and rejected the Romanticism themes of ignorance. I really liked the fact that they wanted to show insight into how things were really going on and to try and show the truth.

1. The Romanesque period had churches were more decorative compared to past eras. they had decorative windows, more stained glass. The walls were also thicker
2. America was founded during the Neo-classical period of Art. The only reason I thought this was interesting is because I didnt know this before. I just thought it was really cool.
3. Romanism artists had a really strong affiliation with nature. Moist paintings were revolved around the outdoors.
4. I learned that in the period or Realism, the main goal was to make their art as real life looking as possible
5. The Mannerism paintings really caught my eye. I liked the way they were per-portioned, and had different angles and lengths of things. Everything seemed exaggerated.

1. The Romanesque period was between the fall of Rome and the Gothic time period. The architecture was medieval style, and included lots of large arches and semicircles. Nothing on a building was bare, there was a lot of detail. Paintings in this period used dull colors and were clear in what they were depicting.
2. The Neoclassical period used less metaphors and more common sense. Excavations of Roman cities inspired the Neoclassical period, which inspired the White house. This period was the height of elegance, and included composers such as Motzart and Beethoven.
3. Romanticism expressed extreme passion. Marriage was based on love, not social status. Opera started using bel canto singing and included composers such as Wagner. The architecture in this time period revolved around landscape art, rather than the buildings itself..
4. Realism rejected Romanticism. Paintings very very detailed, as realistic as possible, and were meant to look like photographs. There were no focal points, the eye was drawn all over, and paintings were asymmetric. Some of Van Gogh's early works would be included in Realism. This took place during the reconstruction of the US.
5. The sculptures of the Baroque period included lots of movement, and everything had shapes of weightier proportions than in the past. In architecture, ovals were favored over circles, even rooms were in the shape of an oval. In the theatre, religious and mystery dramas were the big hit, and used the 5 act structure. When we think of classical instrumental music, it is often music from the Baroque period.

1. Medieval Art: I learned that much of the art involved vivid strong color and powerful figures were drawn larger to show their importance. I also learned about illuminated manuscripts, which showed graphic designs on the first letter in books.
2. Romanesque: I learned that clothes represented wealth and you could determine the class of someone based on what they were wearing. This art was based in medieval Europe and contained fantasy and intense expressions. Romanesque also took over the gothic era.
3. Baroque: This time period was overlapped between Mannerism and Rococo. It was a dark art but with warm colors. It represented vulnerability, religion, mystery and drama.
4. Neo-classical: This era involved common sense and enlightenment. It was very naturalistic and geometric. In many paintings the person of highest power was front and center. Many monuments in DC, such as the white house, are based off this art.
5. Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood: I learned that this time of art emulated late medieval/early renaissance art. There was a lot of sensuality in poetry and detail and nature in the paintings. Rossetti, Hunt and Millias were the three brothers who made of the brotherhood and all had different art styles.

1. The Romanesque era was the fall of Roman and Gothic style. It followed the trend of medieval Europe with large arches and semi-circles. In their churches there was a lot of details, nothing was bare.
2. Rococo was the end of the Baroque era and during the later parts of the Renaissance. In most of their works you can see shells. Pastel colors, curving forms and dainty figures were often seen in paintings.
3. The Neoclassical era was inspired by Greek and Roman art. They used geometric shapes and simple backgrounds in their paintings. They included realistic details in their sculptures.
4.The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood changed Victorian style art to more late medieval and early renaissance art. Their paintings included bright colors, light pictures and very detailed. The era ended when Rossetti, Millais, and Hunt moved into their own artistic directions.
5. Realism depicted realistic sceneries and scenarios. Artists didn't idealize anything like Romanticism. In most of the paintings they included many details, they had no vocal point and was asymmetrical.

1. The Baroque period consisted of theatre that was realistic, and reflected the world that the people of the time period lived in. I thought this was interesting because when I think of theatre, I think of drama and entertainment. I think that it's very interesting how the people of the time period intentionally wanted to reflect the world they lived in, rather than focusing on the dramatics.
2. The Realism period was a reaction to Romanticism. The paintings created during the Realism period were representations of life, rather than depicting scenes in a more obscure way. This intrigued me because one can infer pretty easily that the period of Realism contains realistic works of art, but actually looking at the different works of art during the presentation was very intriguing because they looked like real-life moments were captured.
3. Roman art paintings mainly consisted of animals, and still life. I thought this was interesting because compared to Realism, although the paintings still looked realistic, they were of stationary objects rather than a scene in nature. When looking at the realistic paintings from the Realism period, and the realistic paintings from the Roman art period, I could see the defining difference in their styles.
4. Paintings of the Rococo time period had subjects that represented impurity. This was very intriguing to me because the style of rococo art had to do with light colors, graceful shapes and forms, and focused a lot of work around asymmetry. Although one doesn't notice these subjects at first, when you look closer at some of the paintings there are rather rebellious subjects being depicted. I felt this was an important aspect of the time period because it deviated from the generic attributes of rococo art.
5. Romanticism went against the industrial revolution. This is an important aspect of romanticism because the artists didn't want human to take over nature. Nature was a very important element of their time, and it was important that nature wasn't taken away from the works of art. With going against the industrial revolution also came strong emotion being depicted in their works.
The most interesting thing I learned about was probably how much influence the Greek and Roman art had an influence on literally all other periods of art. I already knew this to a certain extent but seeing actual examples of art over all of history made it much more clear. Also, after seeing how many renaissances, or rebirths, there were about the Greek and Roman art was in my eyes, a way of saying that they had really done art the best. It wasn't the most intricate or detailed art, but the elements and style they created still are seen today.
ReplyDeleteThe Gothic period also had some interesting facts in it. First, I thought it was interesting that the reason why it had become popular so quick was because King Louis liked it, and because he was a king, the entire style of art was tailored to his tastes. It also showed me that it wasn't the depressing emo style i had always imagined it to be, just based off pop culture. It looked more or less the same as the Medieval period to me.
I liked the reason behind the start of the Northern Renaissance, which was the end of the black plague. It made sense to me, that after such a hard time and so many deaths, that humanity would have a little collective party conveyed through its art. The focus of emotions and the fear of demons, and warnings to sinners made me think of how the constant fear of death played a role in the mindset of the era too. People must've been much more cautious about how they acted for fear of imminent death, and then going to hell because of doing something bad once then not having time to repent for it.
One thing i learned about Rococo was why it was called Rococo. I thought it was just some weird foreign word but it turns out its for the shell like style it had. The history behind the art style was also interesting, it was the rise of the French aristocracy and i think it really portrayed the mindset and lifestyle of the wealthy living in france, right before they got all their heads cut off. The dainty figures and soft colors that makes me think of a stuck up millionaire unconcerned about world affairs are exactly how I imagined the french aristocracy in that time period.
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was really cool in my opinion, i didnt know it was actually a fraternity of artists wanting to bring back the good old days before art went all mainstream in their eyes. Makes me think of a league of super artists creating their own movement, and reinstated the importance of art. One thing i didn't know was who was Raphael? was he one of the artists from the Mannerism period, because i don't know when they thought art started to decline, except after the death of whoever Raphael was.

1. The Romanesque period was remembered for it's large arches and semi circles in the time period's architecture. The main subjects in the paintings were religious with the large arches in the buildings, full sized figures would be carved into the stone columns. Bright colors were only shown in Illuminated manuscripts and stained glass windows in this time period as well.
2. The Rococo was also known as the, "Late Baroque" and occured in the 18th century. This art movement originated in Paris, France and the paintings were full with pastel colors, gold, and lots of curves. The artists wanted to depict the elegant and royal side of their subjects.
3. The Baroque era was known for using exaggerated movement and clear details to produce tension and drama in their art. The Roman Catholic Church greatly supported this art period because the church believed that all art should potray religious themes that included emotional involvement.
4. Realism was the movement to depict subjects as truthfully as they could without artificial influence. This time period began when people started to reject idealism, and focused more on their every day life, or reality. The art was very detailed, and there were paintings of all social classes, mainly portrayed in an everyday event.
5. The Neoclassical era was based around simple backgrounds and geometrical shapes, and had realistic features in sculptures. The time period was inspired by the classical movement from Greece and Rome. The art reflects the age of Enlightenment as well as philosophy.

From the Rococo era I learned that it was an 18th century artistic movement. There were paintings, sculptures and architectures. They had decorative arts and interior design. Rococo was developed in Paris, France. There was a usage of creamy like colors in light hearted paintings.
From the neoclassical era, there were western movements in decorative and visual arts. Johann Winkelmann was the father of archeology. There were grand torus where people collected antiques and brought them back home so it spread the neoclassical to new places. Jacques-Louis David was the most influential during this period in time.
During the Romanticism era that was from 1800-1899 spread across Europe. It was an era to teach people to respect and care for others. It supported a strong democratic system. It wanted to improve the government. To deepen the relationship with nature and strong individuals.
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a rebellion against common movement of the day. William Homan rebelled against founder after being rejected from school. John Everett Minais was a English painter and illustrator, he is a founded of pre-Raphaelite. It was to create a new style of art by rejecting idealism.
Baroque was an era from 1600-1750. The term barroco translates to irregularly shaped. It was to describe something broad and unusual. Women's fashion then was to wear tall, broad hats with low necklines. Men's fashion was to wear broad lace detail and breeches. Paintings showed emotion and passion.

1. During the Neo classical period I learned that it was a time of great influence. It was mostly influenced by Rome and Greek. There was a lot of symbolism. It also influenced America.
2. The Romanticism period was a time of peace. People believed in being humane and ethical. People respected each other and cared for each other. Also people wanted to be one with nature.
3. During the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood era I learned about the brother hood. Originally there were 3 guys, and then 4 more came later. This group wanted to change how art was taught. They wanted to bring in bright colors and different brush strokes as well as painting that portrayed depth.
4. During the realism period it was all based on the truth. It was based on the current times and not on the past or fantasy. Paintings were of what the eyes could actually see. They also used a lot of earthy colors.
5. During the Baroque Period I learned that it was very dramatic. They used a lot of intense lighting and colors. Art was based of Greek mythology. Also there was a lot of emotion and passion in their art.

ReplyDelete1.) In the medieval time period, books were considered a work of art. This is cool to me because I'm interested in books and literature. Some books today are treated as works of art. I have a few collectable books that I think are beautiful.
2.) Romanticism argues against logic in support of creativity. I like this. I think ideas are more important than facts (that's why I like English better than science), and this is kind of what Romanticism was about. The romanticists supported individual thought.
3.) The Hellenistic Age of the Greek period was when the first museums and libraries started to come about. When I was in Greece this summer I went to the ancient city of Ephesus and saw this massive library. It's comforting somehow to know that even so long ago they valued knowledge and learning and thought.
4.) In the time of the Northern Renaissance, the artists were presenting not only visual masterpieces but social and emotional concepts. I think that's what art is all about: showing the viewer not only something beautiful but something to think about.
5.) In Mannerism the literature presented the themes of civility and virtue. This is interesting because even today those are big topics. Now that I think about it, that's sort of the theme of the book I'm writing. Literature themes can be timeless.

1.) During the Realism period, the main goal was to make art as life-like as possible. This was very interesting, because one could really see how artists used different textures. Some of the textures seemed impossible to replicate.
2.) Baroque means a funny shaped pearl. The time period was roughly 1600-1750. the term Baroque is used in art to simply describe irregularity and un-even things, which, of course, we can see in the art.
3.) During the Romanesque period, churches were more decorative compared to the previous eras. They had a lot of stained glass. I also learned that stained glass was a way of telling stories and lessons.
4.) Romanticism was a peacetime. People were more innovated to being humane and what not. This was kind of the hippy-era in classic art.
5.) The Neoclassical era was inspired by Greek/Roman art. They used a lot of architecture and angles in their art. They tried to make things look realistic with perspective and what not.

1.I found the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood era the most interesting out of all of the art eras we learned about because it changed how Victorian art was perceived and presented by the public. I also really loved the paintings from this era because of the beautiful detail and nature scenes. I found it interesting that this era had a significant impact on Scotland and Scottish artists because no other group talked about Scotland.
2.I was also quite intrigued by the Realism period. I like how this era focused more on the life of the peasants instead of the rich and powerful. I thought it was cool how paintings during this time looked like photographs. Also I didn’t know that the opera, Pagliacci came out of this time. I also didn’t know this this opera was about a clown killing his wife during a performance, it sounds very interesting.
3.I learned several interesting things about the Rococo period. This was a very light, playful, elegant, and charming era. They had a thing called luster marble that was a paint that you could pain over wood making it look like marble. Also, men during this time would wear their hair in ringlets or they would wear one of them fancy wigs.
4.Romanesque was an interesting topic that was strongly influenced by the catholic religion. They made their churches very tall so people could be closer to heaven. Their sculptures depicted wild fantasies and dramatic expressions. Paintings during this era were prevalent in Italy and France.
5.Lastly, there is Romanticism, which was a very melancholy art era. This era had a strong connection to science and religion. Romanticism paintings were most always landscape scenes. I thought it was interesting that Victor Hugo came out of this time because he wrote Les Mis and Hunchback of Notre Dame, which both had a melancholy vibe.

1. Baroque: This time period was overlapped between Mannerism and Rococo. It was a dark art but with warm colors. It represented vulnerability, religion, mystery and drama.
2. Neo-Classical: It was a western movement that went against Rococo. During this time, The Grand Tour took place. This was a fad of collecting various pieces of art. People would take the pieces of art home, which caused art to spread through europe.
3. Romanesque: In the Romanesque period I liked their decorative arts. All their craved details were very elegant. I love looking at all the details because the pieces were so intricate and interesting.
4. The Rococo was also known as the, "Late Baroque" and occured in the 18th century. This art movement originated in Paris, France and the paintings were full with pastel colors, gold, and lots of curves. The artists wanted to depict the elegant and royal side of their subjects.
5. Realism depicted realistic sceneries and scenarios. Artists didn't idealize anything like Romanticism. In most of the paintings they included many details, they had no vocal point and was asymmetrical.

1.The art period Rococo originated in the early 18th century in Paris. Most of the artwork was in light pastel colors. It was themed around a happy and aristocrat setting. It also had a very light playful, elegant and charming tone.
2.The art period of Neoclassical had a emphasis on common sense. In their artwork there was a lot of geometric shapes. During this time period they had excavations of Roman Cities such as Pompeii. Beethoven and Mozart are famous composers from this era as well.
3.The art period of Romanticism originated around the 19th century. Most of its visual art was emphasized around concepts of human values. The artwork expressed extreme passion for human nature. One of the most famous pieces of artwork from this time period was the Raft of Medusa.

1) During the Italian Renaissance the buildings were different than I expected. They were mainly symmetrical and proportionate and based off of geometry. This period never adapted the Gothic style of art that some expected, but it had immense details in minor aspects of a building, such as the walls and windows.
2) The Realism art period was simply what it seems- a new grasp on art forms in a realistic sense. This period moved away from abstract and other creative formats and found beauty in depicting reality to an almost perfect degree created by hand. Van Gogh, though was not considered a realist, has earlier works that briefly show a start to realism.
3) The Pre-Raphalite Brotherhood art period was really interesting because I have never even heard these words before. Their art forms were emulations of medieval times and contained many bright colors and symbolism. Influences of this period include Gerard Manley and James Collinson.
4) The Rococo period was classified as the end of Baroque period. This period commonly showed lighthearted art and actions, and represented an upper class domestic lifestyle. The overall period was accompanied by a happy, positive tone.
5) The Baroque period neared a span around a hundred years, about 1600-1700. This period began the idea of using paintbrushes to spread paints more efficiently in this area. Sculpting became largely popular and consisted of large, life-like figures.

1. Romanticism was a movement from 1800-1899. Its art was influenced greatly by nature.I found the paintings that involved pictures of the industrial revolution very cool.
2. Realism was a movement from 1850-1910. It was a reaction to romanticism which makes since because it starts in the same time period. The paintings were of everyday life and looked very realistic.
3. Neo-Classical art was a reaction against Rococo. They drew influence from Greek and Roman artworks because they were simple in nature. I liked this time period because it was the same time America was founded.
4. Baroque was a artistic style from 1600-1750. Paintings were bizarre, unusual, exaggerated. The sculptures were realistic/detailed and typically of Greek gods.
5. Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was an style developed by John Everett Millais, William Holman Hunt, and Dante Gabriel Rosetti. They learned at the Royal academy of art but did not like how they were taught. This time period was known for its oil paintings.

1. Neoclassical was a western movement. Painting and printing was radical and exciting. One figure, Jacques-Louis Davis, pointed neoclassicalism in a new direction with his influence.
2. Rococo was also known as 'Late baroque'. Decorative arts and interior design developed first and was fancy and elegant and made for the rich. The movement centered in Rome and differed from Baroque with its lighter, more graceful shapes and forms.
3. Romanticism started in Europe and spread into the US and other countries. It focused heavily on nature and teaching people to care about nature through art. It was brought on by the industrial revolution and believed in being humane and ethical.
4. The Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood focused on rebellion. It was founded by 3 radicals who were rejected by art school and sought to change art. This art was sensory, very realistic and also very symbolic.
5. Realism occurred from 1850 to 1910. It focused around feeling and emotion and ongoing social issues. Realism found romanticism ignorant and it rejected the ideas of that movement. Realism used few colors and lack of melodramatics.

I found it interesting to learn some more about Romanesque architecture because i had already learned a little bit about it from studying the Medieval period. I learned reasons behind why some of the characteristics were present, such as the window size and amount of windows. Because of how thick the walls were, the windows had to be made smaller and to let light in there was a high number of windows. I enjoyed the presentation for the Rococo era and seeing how the class depicted also changed the art style. The arts focus changed to upper class and the colors followed. Pictures had a dainty ornate feel and so did the pastel color scheme which i thought was a nice example of how colors can change the mood and overall feel of the painting. Romanticism showed another large change of focus on subject matter. The respect gained for nature showed in the art, and you could just tell how much of an influence nature held. Deaths view also changed with it being drawn in a much less hellish view with it being seen as a release. The Neo Classical era also saw a great change of view from past art. There were no longer demons, heaven and hell, and horrific yet beautiful visuals, but more realistic art that was much more lifelike. There were still some similarities like how people centered were usually the most powerful as seen in past periods. I found the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood to be the most interesting. They were such a radical group in their rejection for what was normal, and their strive to make their own style. It was obvious that a group like this wouldn't stay together forever but it was still cool to see that the did end up having to split apart due to artistic differences.

The Rococo Art period, also referred to as “Late Baroque”, was an era that emphasized symmetry, light-heartedness, and grace. This artistic era was characterized by pale colors, elegance, and detail in everything, from art to music to fashion. The Rococo Art period was also a sort of opposing reaction against grandeur in the decorative arts.
The Neo-Classical period was largely inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. Painting, sculptures, music and fashion were all fairly simple; music was very melodic, paintings and art in general often incorporated some level of geometry, and fashion was influenced mostly by ancient Greece.
The Romanticism Art period started as a rebellion against the industrial revolution. This era greatly emphasized nature and emotion, both of which were peaceful and spiritual concepts. Particularly, romantic music was very anti-classical, anti-symmetry, and was much more free-spirited than music traditionally had been in the past.
The art period of Realism, much unlike romanticism, was an era known for the portrayal and insight into real life society. Art during this time period focused on ordinary people or situations, especially people of the working or middle class. Art from this era was not always accepted by society, because it showed things how they really were, and not how one would have wanted it to be.
The Baroque art period focused on elaborate detail, depth, and emotion. Paintings and sculptures were made to be as realistic as possible. Theater during this time was similar; extremely realistic, relatable, and represented real life events. Also, literature and philosophy were both prominent, based mainly on Roman Catholic ideas.

1) Mannerism: I learned that this was the transition period that emerged in Italy during the 16th century. The art had elongated proportions, stylized postures, and lack of clear perspective. This is important because it showed how certain periods transitioned to other ones.
2) Romanesque: I learned that religion was a monumental part of the art. I also learned that this was a style of medieval Europe. This is important because we could trace back how during that time period the church had an extraordinary amount of power and such.
3) Baroque: I learned that this style of art was mainly catholic art and also were power statements by the king. I also learned that naturalism was embraced during this time period which was a very important part of the art. Also the word “baroque” was used to explain paint brushed smeared colors.
4) Rococo: I learned that this time period was referred to as the end of the baroque style. I also learned that this style emerged from Paris during the early 18th century. Another interesting thing I learned was that subjects of rococo art were mainly from the upper class.
5) Neoclassical era art: I learned that this style of art contained less metaphors and more clarity on message the whole piece conveyed. I also learned that the art style was inspired by the excavations of some Roman cities. Also this art style was a direct imitation of the Greeks and Romans.

1. the Italian renaissance had interesting architecture. they used symmetrical structures and lots of geometric shapes. they also put a lot of detail into all aspects of their buildings. however they were not influenced by Gothic art like most styles of that time period.
2. i learned that Rococo was a thing. it kind of just sounds like a type of cereal. they used pastel colors and used happy high class images.
3. the Neo-Classical era was based on Greek and roman styles. this style had an effect on american architecture.
4.the baroque era was when the modern style of theater arose. it lasted about a hundred years.
5. the realism movement was exactly what it sounded like, they tried to represent life with very realistic art.

1)Rococo was the end of the Baroque era and during the later parts of the Renaissance. Pastel colors and curving forms were often seen in paintings. And it was originated in Paris in the 19th Century.
2) During the Baroque Period I learned that it was very dramatic. They used a lot of intense lighting and colors. Art was based of Greek mythology. Also there was a lot of emotion and passion in their art.
3) Neo classical era involved common sense and enlightenment. It was very naturalistic and geometric. In many paintings the person of highest power was front and center. Many monuments in DC, such as the white house, are based off this art
4) From the period of Romanticism, I learned the art’s main focus was on the emotion of the artist. During this period the belief that marriage should be out of love and freedom became more popular. Landscape art from this time, has a high influence on modern landscaping design.
5)During the Mannerism period their art was defined as distorted. I thought it was an interesting style for the colors and shapes to be distorted. It also transitions into the idea of abstract art, where the artist does what they please and how they want to see the figure depicted as.

1.) In the baroque time period I learned that the most famous compositionist was Johann Pachelbel. He wrote over 200 compositions. Something else inlearned was that the paintings had light and they showed emotion.
2.) The Realism period was from 1850 to 1910 and it was a literary movement. Realism was also sprung from romantisism. I also learner that realism focused on ordanary people. It was based on feelings, imagination, and intuition.
3.) The Pre-Raphalite period was founded by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It later became a brotherhood of seven made up of painters, poets, and critics. I also learner that they rebelled because they didn't like what they were being taught at the Royal Academy.
4.) Romantisism was from 1800 to 1899. I learner that it was largely based off of nature. Therefore most of the paintings were of nature and landscape scenes.
5.) The Mannerism period came after the Italian High Renaissance. I learned that in this period the colors and shapes are distorted. The spread of Mannerism went through the cities of Rome, Florence, and Mantua. I also learner that a theorist in this period was Giorgio Vasari.

1. I learned that much of the Medieval Art period involved vivid art with strong bright colors. Figures were drawn larger to show their importance and to show power. I also learned about illuminated manuscripts.
2. Neo Classical was a western movement that went against Rococo. During the same perido, The Grand Tour began which was a fad where people collected various pieces of art. Art was able to spread through Europe due to this.
3. In the Rococo period, I learned that gardens had a big impact because they had to be mathematically built, and symmetrical. They also had columns and ponds. During a time of riches, and Mozart, this comes at no surprise that their gardens were high class as well.
4. Romanticism started in Europe and spread into the US and other countries. It focused on nature and teaching people to care about nature through art. Many of the art pieces contained landscapes and other natural settings. It was brought on by the industrial revolution and believed in being humane and ethical.
5. In the Realism period artists focused on making their art as realistic to life as possible. That is how the period got its name to begin with.
1. Realism was a movement that means what it sounds like. The artists tried to make their paintings as realistic as possible and went to great lengths to do so. Paintings portrayed all of the social classes and portrayed simple everyday tasks.
ReplyDelete2. The Rococo period was a time that blended with the Baroque period in the 18th century. Rich colors were used and the art focused on the richer of the people. In Paris, the heart of the period, the royalty enjoyed getting their picture done so that’s why there are so many pictures of royalty from this time.
3. The Baroque period was strongly backed by the Roman Catholic Church and because of this, many of the paintings were of religois sorts. The viewer is captivated by the emotion that the paintings portray.
4. The Romaneque Era was remembered mostly because of it’s architecture. Large arches and semi circles could be found in this period. This age also had strong ties to religion and much of the sculptures and architecture was centered around religion.
5. Oh lord above, the Neoclassical Era. Amidst the vulgarity and pop culture references, the Neoclassical Era was a time of simplicity. It had most of it’s inspirations from ancient Greece and Rome.

1. With the Northern Renissance, I learned that that it was relatively new and their was a lot of print making. Oil painting was done the most during this time. The theatre scene was influenced by Protesterism.
2. With Mannerism, I learned that it was an art with a lot of interesting qualities. It arose near the end of the Italian period. An early theorist during this period was Gian Paolo Lamazzo.
3. During the Rococ, I learned that it was also referred to as the "late baroque." It was the first to start decorative arts and designs. It developed during the early part of the 18th century.
4. During Romanticism, I learned that it spread all across Europe and into America.It was brought on by the era of technology. Most of the paintings where of landscapes that where created to depict emotion.
5. During Realism, I learned it was a literacy movement. It was based on imagination. Most of the colors that where used where earthly.

1. In the Baroque period I learned that many paintings featured exaggerated lighting, intense emotions. the baroque period never really depict the lifestyle of the people at the time.
2. Neo-classical, Styles of this period represent the ideas in philosophy of the enlightenment period. Artworks include line drawings by john flaxman.
3. Romanesque, Some characteristic include roman architectural styles such as round headed arches. Many manuscripts of this period were mostly biblical. We see stained glass widely used.
4. In the Rococo period we see purely decorative artwork, use of delicate colors and curving forms, decorating their canvases with cherubs and myths of love. Portraiture was an important component in all countries during this period.
5. Realism, we see paintings painted in the exact way they are seen to be in real life, every detail is real to the eye. It began in France in the 1850's. Realist rejected the ideas that came from the Romanticism. Realism rejected exotic subject matter and exaggerated emotion and drama. It sought to portray real and raw emotions with truth and accuracy.

I learned that realism was very realistic, but I found it odd that this era was called "realism" even though a few era surrounding it also featured very realistic art.The paintings were beautiful and I thought that the subjects of the paintings were pretty as well.
I thought that the Boroque and the Rococo periods were very whimsical and neat. Most of the paintings were of royalty, which made sense, but I found that I enjoyed the common life being the subject of a painting more than the higher class.
One of my favorite periods so far is the Romanism period. The way the painters portrayed the landscape was absolutely beautiful. I thought that the fashion at the time was great. I love the big, poofy skirts on the women. The patterns on the dresses really made them stand out.
The Pre-Raphalite kind of confused me because I didn't understand what the "brotherhood" was. I thought that the music was lovely and so was the poetry, I didn't get the idea of the brotherhood at all.
The Italian Renaissance had really pretty churches and stained glass. Previously, stained glass hadn't been introduced in our class' presentations yet, so seeing the stained glass was intriguing. The colors were memorizing.

I'm really glad that we did these presentations. I have learned quite a lot of interesting things about each of the era's we have presented. I loved seeing how our ancestors became more evolved and came up with new ideas and also bringing some back just like the Italian Renaissance brought back the Greek Era or at least tried to be similar.
1. Baroque Era dates back to around 1600-1700. During these times is when the very famous violinist, Antonio Vivaldi wrote 250 pieces of music. I also noted that the sculptures by this era were really focused on dynamic movement and human energy which is just fascinating, because it takes enormous time to show those details and to perfect this skill. Hats down to those artists. Shakespeare also lived in this time period. He wad really famous back in the time but I think he is even more famous these days than he was since almost all schools learning his style and his plays are still shown in operas and theatre's all over the World.
2. Rococo - This era was originated around the early 18th century in Paris, France. The Rococo paintings are known for their use of light, pastel colors to convey happiness. Finally people started to pay attention to the great sun and its power! What an enLIGHTenmen!!!.. haha... sorry... This was also the era where fashion magazines started to become more popular and if fashion magazines were a thing back then for ladies then I bet the gentlemen's had some magazines too! I dont think that involved a lot of "fashion" or erm..uhh..... clothes in it... okay I'm done. Finally, the houses became more luxurious and fancy especially for the noble people. The inside walls were made out of luster marble which was light colored, leafy or shell line textures in asymmetrical sweeps and flourishes broken curves. Apparently sometimes they painted doors on the walls. Maybe they just thought that it would be funny to see guests trying to open it or walk through the door. What a meanies.
3. Neoclassical Era Art - Came to "life" around the late 18th century and slight beginning of the 19th century. Neoclassical Era was inspired by the excavations of the Roman cities of Pompei and Herculem. Archaeology was also becoming popular by the looks of it. Sculptures were also becoming even more realistic and it involved nudity once again. Those "magazine's" had a lot of inspirations. Several famous musicians lived in this era such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who was really talented and started to write music when he was a kid (Also he had an incredibly beautiful villa/castle in Austria). Beethoven famous composer for orchestras also lived in this time period. We still listen to their beautiful songs today.
4. Romanticism - Began in the early 19th century. In this period of time the symphonies were formed into a poetic fashion. This era was inspired by an argumemt where society and costumes of nation benefits throughr environment. Fashion was also based on the transition of the value of social status to the Romantic ideology of love "awww", and freedom (Almost like the hippies back in the 1960s). Victor Hugo, the writer of Notre Dame also lived in this time period.
5. Romanesque - This era dates back all the way to the 1000 to 1200. The style of the buildings were Medieval looking, which is no wonder, because at this time all Europe was dominated by kings (Monarchy) and their fortresses/castles. Houses in cities were usually multistories so they can save space and have more housing, and it had small windows, because large windows was hard to ceil. Lot of people were Catholic, during this time, religions played a big role. As music wise, neumatic notations was invented, it had square notes instead of circles. Paintings were centralised around religion. Finally, architecture/buildings used a lot of semi circles and sculpture/painting design's influenced by the art of Byzantines. Using dragons, basilisks and lions in sculptures were popular.

1. In the Rococo period, I learned that it was similar to the Baroque period. One difference was that Rococo focused on gardens and naturalistic concepts. Also, Rococo was more graceful and appealing in subject matter.
2. The Romanesque time period was much like the Medieval. It focused on tall castles and religion centered art. Sculptures of lions and dragons were very common.
3. In the Italian Renaissance, the colors were bright and vibrant. There was a huge focus on stain glass art. As with other time periods, religious subject matter was common and widely used.
4. Realism was the polar opposite of Romanticism. Realism depicted real people and situations that everyone could relate to. The paintings were photograph-like. Paintings were one of the biggest mediums in this period.
5. The Medevil period was a dark time. There were many kings and rulers. The art was mostly architecture.
