METHODS OF ART PRODUCTION

1. METHODS OF ART PRODUCTION • REALISM • ABSTRACTION • SYMBOLISM • FAUVISM • DADAISM • FUTURISM • SURREALISM • EXPRESSIONISM

2. REALISM (OBJECTIVE) – "satirist" • attempt to portray the subject as it is • to describe as accurately and honestly as possible what is observed through the senses.

3. ABSTRACTION • artist becomes so interested in one phase of a scene or a situation that he does not show the subject at all as an objective reality, but only his idea, or his feelings about it. • “TO SEPARATE” • The picture is not just realistic. • Constantin Brancusi’s “Bird in Space” • created in 1923 • old in 2005 for $27.5 million

4. KINDS OF ABSTRACTION • Distortion • Elongation • Mangling • Cubism • Abstract expression

5. DISTORTION • subject is in misshapen condition, or the regular shape is twisted out

6. ELONGATION • Refers to that which is lengthened, protraction or extension.

7. MANGLING • Showing subjects which are cut, lacerated, mutilated, or hacked with repeated blows.

8. CUBISM • Stresses abstract form through the use of a cone, cylinder, or sphere at the expense of other pictorial elements. • geometrical shapes. • E.g. Paul Cezanne, George Braque, Pablo Picasso

9. ABSTRACT EXPRESSION • Characterized by great verve, the use of large canvasses, and a deliberate lack of refinement in the application of the paint. • Strong color, heavy impasto, uneven brush strokes, and rough textures are other typical characteristics. • Jackson Pollock

10. SYMBOLISM • visible sign of something invisible such as an idea or a quality. • It can be simply an emblem or sign like: % to represent percent. • Juan Luna’ “Spolarium” • As a Roman Term, “Spolarium”, referred to the spoils of war, spoils of tyrants and the king.

11. FAUVISM • did not attempt to express ethical, philosophical, or psychological themes. • Most of these artists tried to paint pictures of comfort, joy, and pleasure. • They used extremely bright colors. • To a fauve, for example, a tree trunk need not be brown. It could be bright, red, purple, or any other color. • Important fauves: Andre Derain, Raoul Dufy, George Rouault

12. DADAISM • reacted to what they believed were outworn traditions in art, and the evils they saw in society. • They tried to shock and provoke the public with outrageous pieces of writing, poetry recitals, and art exhibitions. • Much dadaic art was playful and highly experimental. • The name “dada” (French: “hobby horse”) was deliberately chosen because it was nonsensical. • E.g. Marcel Duchamp

13. FUTURISM • Works that capture the speed and force of modern industrial society. • Subjects included automobiles, motorcycles, and railroad trains – subjects that express the explosive vitality of a modern city.

14. SURREALISM • Founded by Andre Breton • weapon against the evil and restrictions in the society • Unlike Dadaism, it tries to reveal a new and higher reality than that of daily life. • surrealists declare that a magical world – more beautiful than the real one – can be created in art and literature. • beauty sought by surrealism is violent and cruel. • try to shock the viewer or reader and show what they consider the deeper and truer part of human nature.

15. EXPRESSIONISM • necessity of a spiritual rebirth for man in an age that was fast becoming influenced by materialism • involving pathos, morbidity, defeat, violence or chaos, and tragedy.

16. IMPRESSIONISM • Presenting the real-life subject with emphasis on the impression left in the artist’s mind, particularly the effect of light on the object used as subject. • E.g. an apple on a table is presented not as entirely red, but with white areas showing the spots where the light rays fall upon. • Painters: Claude Monet, EdouardManet, Edgar Degas, August Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Vincent Van Gogh

17. ELEMENTS OF THE VISUAL ARTS • LINE • COLOR • TEXTURE • touch • SHAPE • Final form • PERSPECTIVE • Effect of distance/ spatial relationship • SPACE • Area occupied • FORM • Shape + volume • VOLUME • Space occupied in 3 dimensions

18. PARALLAX (displacement) • as the viewpoint moves side to side, • CLOSE = faster, • FAR = slower. • The planet moves faster when nearer the Sun. (kepler)

20. ELEMENTS OF THE VISUAL ARTS • LINES • STRAIGHT LINES • HORIZONTAL • VERTICAL • DIAGONAL • CURVED • CROOKED • REPEATING • CONTRASTING • MODIFIED

23. COLOR – PROPERTY OF LIGHT • When light goes out, color goes with it. • When light strikes a surface, some of the color rays are absorbed while others are reflected • White, gray, and black have no color quality.

25. 3 DIMENSIONS OF COLOR • HUE • When we say that flower is yellow, we are naming its hue. • VALUE • lightness or darkness • INTENSITY • 3rd dimension of color (strength)

26. CLASSIFICATION OF HUES • Primary hues: BRY - monochromatic • blue, red, and yellow • Secondary hues: GOV - polychromatic • Green, orange, and violet • If 2 primary hues are mixed in equal parts • Intermediate hues: - polychromatic • produced by combining one primary color and one secondary color.

27. PRIMARY HUES - BRY

28. SECONDARY HUES - GOV

30. GROUP DEFENSE (QUIZ) • INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC: SONATA, SUITE, SYMPHONY, CONCERTO, CHAMBER MUSIC • VOICE CLASSIFICATION FOR MEN & WOMEN AS TO TIMBRE – alto, soprano, tenor, baritone, bass • TYPES OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS (BOWED, BLOWN, STRUCK) • PROPERTIES/ ELEMENTS OF MUSICAL SOUND (pitch, duration, volume)
