  28. Put paintings in order • Explain how these three paintings show a change in ideological thinking. Include: • time periods of each painting • brief definition of Victorian ideology • brief definition of modernist ideology • any historical events that influenced the ideological thinking shown in each painting • one piece of evidence from each painting that shows the ideological thinking

  29. What style of art is this painting? Around what time period does it come from? • How does this style differ from paintings done in the Realism style? • How does this painting reflect the historical time period and show some modernist thinking?

  30. 1. Put the paintings in order from oldest to most modern.2. How do these paintings show a change in ideological thinking from the 1800s to the 1930s?3. What major historical events or discoveries changed peoples’ way of thinking (ideologies) and thus their art during these time periods?

  31. Student: This painting is during the early modernist times (1850-1900). You can tell by noticing how the artist is more focused on the brushstrokes and colors, leaving it up to viewers to figure out what they’re seeing. It is easy to tell that this was painted during the time of the Victorian Era because it is somewhat detailed. Realism is very detailed, almost photo-like and early modernism is sort of detailed but less like a photo.

  32. Continued: This painting shows some modernist thinking because looking at the painting, the artist focused more on brushstroke and colors and less on details. The artist also played with light in the painting. The idea is that up close, the painting is just blotches of colors but from afar it becomes a picture, shows that there is modernist thinking. The artist leaves it up to the viewers to put together their own interpretation of what he’s painted—meaning the picture would differ from person to person (which was like what modernists believed—that everything is relative from person to person). (C block)

  33. Student A: This painting of Mona Lisa with a mustache shows late modernism after WWI. This painting reflects on the time period because this was after WWI. That is when dada, surrealism and cubism started. Because Mona Lisa has a mustache, it obviously shows weirdness. The reason why dada and cubism started after the war was because people thought there was no more meaning of life after the horrible things happened. This painting also, in a way, shows impressionism because the artist has been experimenting with the brush strokes and not focusing on the details. [Modernists believe…] This painting does show modernist thinking in a way because there are several ways a person can view this picture and think about it. The mustache can have many interpretations… (Block A)

  34. Student B: This painting is most likely from the period of late modernism around 1920-1930. It shows the historical period by altering something that is well known and accepted to be a certain way. The artists makes the art have different meanings (or no meaning) and pushes the boundaries of the time, something characteristic of modernism. But, it is giving new meaning to an “accepted truth.”…It shows modernist thought by changing or removing the meaning of a well-known art work and “rocking” the preconceived foundations of art and of the Mona-Lisa…Shaking foundations and rendering something meaningless shows how peoples’ foundations were shook and how some did not see the meaning in things after the Great War and the Russian Revolution. Since modernists believe that everything is relative, they are creating their own “relative truth” through this painting.

  35. Student: This painting was probably from the Realism period during the 1800s-1850s. Due to the detailed drawings and biblical references to the bread, it can be proven to be from the Realism period. Also, painters wanted to give out emotional artworks and in this case, the woman looks almost sad no only because of the detail in her facial expression but also the whole mood of the painting is dark. Modernist thinking was all about experimenting and concentrating on the process rather than the final product. Therefore, during this time, the art was not very modern because they didn’t explore more types of brushwork or what to paint. Also the focus of this painting is referring to the bible, and religious thinking was a very pre-modernist thought…
