This way, you can record your answers directly on Google Classroom. 2 This study guide has two sections: 1). Art history chronology outline organized by period, and 2). Essay question topics that may appear on the test. The Art chronology outline lists the pieces of art included in the slide lists, colored coded by section (Western figural sculpture, Fauvism, still life painting, and landscape painting). Bolding indicates that the term is one that you must know/memorize. These will aid you in writing your essay. 3 Each of the four color coded sections is a topic in itself, so you should understand the similarities and differences of the pieces within it, as well as the overarching trajectory of themes and techniques throughout its art historical timeline. In the same way, each time period/movement has its own artists, pieces, themes, techniques, and trajectory. Art II Mr. Lucas Final Exam . Baroque (continued) .

  • Perceptions on the Starry Night
    Kay Sohini Kumar To the Stars and Beyond: Perceptions on The Starry Night “The earliest experience of art must have been that it was incantatory, magical; art was an instrument of ritual. The earliest theory of art, that of Greek philosophers, proposed that art was mimesis, imitation of reality...even in the modern times, when most artists and critics have discarded the theory of art as representation of an outer reality in favor of theory of art as subjective expression, the main feature of the mimetic theory persists” (Sontag 3-4) What is it like to see the painting, in the flesh, that you have been worshipping and emulating for years? I somehow always assumed that it was bigger. The gilded frame enclosing The Starry Night at the Museum of Modern Art occupies less than a quarter of the wall it is hung upon. I had also assumed that there would be a bench from across the painting, where I could sit and gaze at the painting intently till I lost track of time and space. What I did not figure was how the painting would only occupy a tiny portion of the wall, or that there would be this many people1, that some of those people would stare at me strangely (albeit for a fraction of a second, or maybe I imagined it) for standing in front of The Starry Night awkwardly, with a notepad, scribbling away, for so long that it became conspicuous. I also did not expect how different the actual painting would be from the reproductions of it that I was used to.

  • Realism.VL.2.Pdf
    Realism Realism 1861- 1914: An artistic movement begun in 19th century France. Artists and writers strove for detailed realistic and factual description. They tried to represent events and social conditions as they actually are, without idealization. This form of literature believes in fidelity to actuality in its representation. Realism is about recreating life in literature. Realism arose as an opposing idea to Idealism and Nominalism. Idealism is the approach to literature of writing about everything in its ideal from. Nominalism believes that ideas are only names and have no practical application. Realism focused on the truthful treatment of the common, average, everyday life. Realism focuses on the immediate, the here and now, the specific actions and their verifiable consequences. Realism seeks a one-to-one relationship between representation and the subject. This form is also known as mimesis. Realists are concerned with the effect of the work on their reader and the reader's life, a pragmatic view. Pragmatism requires the reading of a work to have some verifiable outcome for the reader that will lead to a better life for the reader. This lends an ethical tendency to Realism while focusing on common actions and minor catastrophes of middle class society. Realism aims to interpret the actualities of any aspect of life, free from subjective prejudice, idealism, or romantic color. It is in direct opposition to concerns of the unusual, the basis of Romanticism. Stresses the real over the fantastic. Seeks to treat the commonplace truthfully and used characters from everyday life. This emphasis was brought on by societal changes such as the aftermath of the Civil War in the United States and the emergence of Darwin's Theory of Evolution and its effect upon biblical interpretation.

  • Vincent Van Gogh the Starry Night
    Richard Thomson Vincent van Gogh The Starry Night the museum of modern art, new york The Starry Night without doubt, vincent van gogh’s painting the starry night (fig. 1) is an iconic image of modern culture. One of the beacons of The Museum of Modern Art, every day it draws thousands of visitors who want to gaze at it, be instructed about it, or be photographed in front of it. The picture has a far-flung and flexible identity in our collective musée imaginaire, whether in material form decorating a tie or T-shirt, as a visual quotation in a book cover or caricature, or as a ubiquitously understood allusion to anguish in a sentimental popular song. Starry Night belongs in the front rank of the modern cultural vernacular. This is rather a surprising status to have been achieved by a painting that was executed with neither fanfare nor much explanation in Van Gogh’s own correspondence, that on reflection the artist found did not satisfy him, and that displeased his crucial supporter and primary critic, his brother Theo. Starry Night was painted in June 1889, at a period of great complexity in Vincent’s life. Living at the asylum of Saint-Rémy in the south of France, a Dutchman in Provence, he was cut off from his country, family, and fellow artists. His isolation was enhanced by his state of health, psychologically fragile and erratic. Yet for all these taxing disadvantages, Van Gogh was determined to fulfill himself as an artist, the road that he had taken in 1880.

  • “Finding a Place for Beauty and Aesthetics in a Christian Worldview”
    1 “Finding a place for beauty and aesthetics in a Christian worldview” Erik Schmidt Gonzaga University March 31, 2006 1. Introduction The past one hundred years have proven a hostile environment for questions of beauty and aesthetics. Philosophy has gone from a time when major figures in philosophy, including Hume, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche, devoted a considerable amount of attention to questions of aesthetics, to a discipline in which a few philosophers discuss a fragmented set of issues and questions grouped under the broad label of the philosophy of art. In the art-world, meanwhile we have moved from a time when artists attempted to embody balance, proportion and order to an era characterized by artists like Cy Twombly, whose work according one of his defenders manifests, “The implicit hand of a child in agony, a picture of manual impotence, of wanting to do well, but lacking the ability to do so.”[1] There is, of course, much to recommend about the current era in art and philosophy but my goal this afternoon is to take a closer look at the decline of discussions about aesthetics and beauty in philosophy and to defend the claim that questions about aesthetics and beauty should play a more important role in efforts file:///F|/Finding%20a%20place%20for%20art%20and%20beauty.htm (1 of 21) [4/13/2006 9:27:54 AM] 1 to articulate and defend a Christian worldview. Perhaps the best place to start is to say something about what I mean by aesthetics. To get a handle on the term we need to turn to David Hume.

These people, whom I shall call "textualists," include for example, the so-called Yale school of literary criticism centering around Harold Bloom, Geoffrey Hartmann, and Paul De Man, "post-structuralist" French thinkers like Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, historians like Hayden White, and social scientists like Paul Rabinow. Some of these people take their point of departure from Heidegger, but usually the influence of philosophers is relatively remote.

  • Vincent Van Gogh
    Vincent Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) 19th century Netherlands and France Post-Impressionist Painter Vincent Van Gogh (Vin-CENT Van-GOKT??? [see page 2]) Post-Impressionist Painter Post-Impressionism Period/Style of Art B: 30 March 1853, Zundert, Netherlands D 29 July, 1890. Auvers-sur-Oise, France Van Gogh was the oldest surviving son born into a family of preacher and art dealers. When Vincent was young, he went to school, but, unhappy with the quality of education he received, his parents hired a governess for all six of their children. Scotswoman Anna Birnie was the daughter of an artist and was likely Van Gogh’s first formal art tutor. Some of our earliest sketches of Van Gogh’s come from this time. After school, Vincent wanted to be a preacher, like his father and grandfather. He studied for seminary with an uncle, Reverend Stricker, but failed the entrance exam. Later, he also proposed marriage to Uncle Stricker’s daughter…she refused (“No, nay, never!”) Next, as a missionary, Van Gogh was sent to a mining community, where he was appalled at the desperate condition these families lived in. He gave away most of the things he owned (including food and most of his clothes) to help them. His bosses said he was “over-zealous” for doing this, and ultimately fired him because he was not eloquent enough when he preached! Then, he tried being an art dealer under another uncle, Uncle Vincent (known as “Cent” in the family.) Vincent worked in Uncle Cent’s dealership for four years, until he seemed to lose interest, and left.

Fénéon identified greater scientific rigor as the key difference between Neo-Impressionism and its predecessor. Where the Impressionists were “arbitrary” in their techniques, the Neo- Impressionists had developed a “conscious and scientific” method through a careful study of contemporary color theorists such as Michel Chevreul and Ogden Rood. [1] A scientific method Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Bal du Moulin de la Galette, 1876, oil on canvas, 131 x 175 cm (Musée d’Orsay) This greater scientific rigor is immediately visible if we compare Seurat’s Neo- Impressionist Grande Jatte with Renoir’s Impressionist Moulin de la Galette. The subject matter is similar: an outdoor scene of people at leisure, lounging in a park by a river or dancing and drinking on a café terrace.
