<p>answer the question, and once answered post the answer, and then continue by asking the next question.</p>
<p>What is Impressionism, and where was it created?</p>
<p>A theory or style of painting originating and developed in France during the 1870s, characterized by concentration on the immediate visual impression produced by a scene and by the use of unmixed primary colors and small strokes to simulate actual reflected light.</p>
<p>What is Romanticism?</p>
<p>Romanticism describes art from roughly 1750 to 1850 that reacted to the strict forms of neoclassicism. The emotional, the mystical, the exotic, the primitive, and the surreal were all subjects of Romantic works. Fuseli, Goya, Delacroix, and Gericault were artists of this period.</p>
<p>Describe the differences between the Renaissance and the Northern Renaissance.</p>
<p>bump 10charr</p>
<p>A:
The Italian Renaissance was characterized by dynamic, idealized, monumental human forms with an accurate knowledge of anatomy. They were often painted in fresco or tempera. Subjects dealt with classical mythology or religious scenes. Artists often practiced perspective, balance, and symmetry in their works. Classic example: Michelangelo and “Creation of Adam”</p>
<p>The Northern Renaissance, on the other hand, was characterized by more naturalistic bodies, albeit in generally stiffer poses. The widespread use of oil paints in the North led to works with richer color and minute detail. Subjects still included religious scenes, but domestic scenes and portraits were also introduced. Classic example: Jan Van Eyck and “Arnolfini and His Bride”</p>
<p>Q:
How are the religious ideals of Ancient Egyptians revealed in their art?</p>
<p>The gods of Egypt were Gods of nature and order in the world. The pharoahs, in turn, provided order to the state. The principles of longevity and obsession with the afterlife show in almost all Egyptian art. While houses and “mortal” buildings are made from mudbrick etc. all places of worship are made from stone to last through the afterlife (Pyramids) and all statues are symmetrical and strong (Portrait of King Djoser).</p>
<p>Describe two kinds of art seperate from the European tradition.</p>
<p>Srry can’tr answer that question, my class didn’t study any art outside the western world…But since this thread is dying I’ll bump it up with another question…So theres two questions up now</p>
<p>Q. Compare and Contrast Post-Impressionism and Impressionism</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>you know you have to cite at least one non-european example in free response or you fail, right?</p>
<p>Wait what ?1?!?.What do you mean by cite, is there like a question that asks you to describe a non-western art or something along that means, like what do you mean?..Do you actually fail??? </p>
<p>What else do I have to know!!!..Oh god</p>
<p>Oh wait nevermind…Egyptian art counts as non-european art right?</p>
<p>yeah, egyptian art counts as non-european art…</p>
<p>But think about the thousands and thousands of students that study only Egyptian art astheir non-European examples. It’s more than likely, unless your essay is brilliantly organized, that your essay’s grade will only be above average. Creative examples can win you big points.</p>
<p>Taj mahal is also a good one for non-Euro examples according to our teacher. Djoser’s Step Pyramid and the Pyramids of Giza are the most common.</p>
<p>Let’s get this study thread going.</p>
<p>Who was the father of Western Art?</p>
<p>Giotto? </p>
<p>Describe the style of surrealism and name 2 artists from the period</p>
<p>This is my last exam(im taking the makeup). Im worried because my teacher is bad(first year) but hey, at least I have a week to study for it!</p>
<p>Surrealism: a movement springing from Dada and recent developments of Freud and Jung. Focusing on “surreal” images - dreams/nightmares, metaphysical images, paintings that transcend logic etc. Main artists: Dali, Chirico, Ernst, Magritte… although most of the Surrealists credit Hieronymous Bosch as their founding father.</p>
<p>Compare Early Christian and Romanesque architecture.</p>
<p>Compare Romanesque and Gothic architecture.</p>
<p>A: (I guess I’ll address all three)</p>
<p>Early Christian architecture follows the Roman style closely, and is characterized by a flat, sloped wooden ceiling, a three-aisle basilica plan, and the use of mosaic and fresco in the apse. </p>
<p>Romanesque architecture makes the large switch to stone structures. The style is primarily characterized by square schematism: a mathematical system for ordering the church into compartmentalized bays based on the crossing square. The architecture also utilizes pointed arches, barrel vaults, and in later Romanesque style, groin vaults. To accomodate pilgrims, ambulatories allow for the flow of crowds that would have come to see relics stored at the churches. Decoration focuses on the western facade (usually Last Judgement imagery, eg. Gislebertus’ “Last Judgement” tympanum sculpture at St. Lazare).</p>
<p>Whereas Romanesque has a horizontal emphasis, Gothic architecture soars to the sky. Through the introduction of new construction techniques of a skeletal structure - utilizing ribbed groin vaults which distributed the weight of the ceiling to four points, alongside flying buttresses, pointed arches, and compound pier columns - Gothic architecture allowed for large stained glass windows to be put in the walls. Thus, the “Lux Nova” light of God would then fall through the windows and filter into the soaring cathedrals. </p>
<p>Q:
How does “The Ladies of Avignon” represent a radical break with many of the traditions of western art?</p>
