  27. Still Life Art • Mostly a ‘modern’ art theme started as a rejection of religious art by the Dutch Protestant Reform Movement in the 17th century • Compositions were made up of inanimate objects • Still life art became popular due to the newly educated, wealthier middle class population • Baroque Art highlighted object’s elaborate detail, color, texture and use of lighting. • Baroque artists used symbolism to substitute for forbidden objects and to teach moral lessons

  28. Texture and Detail in Still Life Art • Texture- an objects surface quality • Implied Texture is a 2D imitation • Actual Texture is 3D and real, such as on a sculpture • Pattern- the repetition of a design element-such as line
