Week 4

2 FEB 2015

It about 18th and 19th Century. Neoclassicism is more like a head, and is more to thinking. They use rococo skill on painting. Characteristics of it is serious, unemotional and sternly heroic.Oath of horatii is one of the famous painting by Jacques-Louis David. Beside that, Death of Marat is also 1 of his painting. It's about a friend of him. Further on is Romanticism. Its just like a heart with full of feeling. There are many passion emotion in those painting. 1 of the most famous paint is liberty leading the people by Eugene Delactcoix. Finally the last 1 of the week is Realism.  Its more to the truth of it. Bonjour Monsieur Courbet by Custave Courdet. Bonjour is a French mean good day .

This week Instagram I get Caravaggio -_-" . A new artist for me , never heard of him. Reading though all the blah blah blah.... of him going to fall a sleep Zzzz... But 1 thing make me suddenly awake is then I read that he kill a man O_O  What!? A famous artist kill people?? Then he dead mystically ? What had happen ? After the help of Google , Wikipedia and Youtube. It truth that he kill a young man call name Ranuccio Tomassoni. Mostly they all said that he killed him by accident. 1 of the news said that Tomassoni is a pimp O_O he was dead when Caravaggio trying to cut his testicles @_@ After Tomassoni die, Caravaggio was fear. He live near to death x_x by wacthing though documentary of him, can see that after he killed  Tomassoni ， his painting is more to life of death. At the beginning, his way of painting is very interesting. His using mirror as his best helper to see himself , to draw the outline ,to adjust the lighing and so on . Her second helper is lens. He is the 1 who invent camera by using 1 pin hole box. COOL MAN~~~~ Unlucky he was death. Wish to be his apprentice if he's alive.

Week 3

26 Jan 2015

Today learn about Renaissance , Mannerism & Baroque.
In Renaissance we know about the paint Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. The way he use for shading area is call "sfumato". The painting is base on individualism, anatomy, realism, symmetry ( the proportion), nature ,depth... Beside that, The Last Supper also one of the famous painting of ranaissance. It is the use of the 1 point perfective. Leonardo is not only a artist but mathematical. Famous artist at renaissance was Donatello(1386-1466), Sandro Botticelli , Leonardo da Vinci & Michaelangelo Buonarroti.
In Mannerism (1520-1580) the characteristics are masterful(Technic). The paint The allegory of time and lust by Bronzino is one of the famous painting. It's not anatomically correct.
In Baroque, they strongly use the light at painting. The painting Chris with The Doubbing Thomas by Garavaggio. He strong use of light on object and have a dark background, it's call "chiaroscuro". Most of the bacrkgound are darker.
In conclusion, Baroque is more relitive than Mannerism. Baroque look very expensive and more opposition. Mannerism look more lie in stage.

Week 2

19 January 2015

Today learn about the history of Egypt .Symbolism played an important role in establishing a sense of order. Symbolism, ranging from the pharaoh's regalia (symbolizing his power to maintain order) to the individual symbols of Egyptian gods and goddesses, is omnipresent in Egyptian art. All this we can see at the pyramids wall. Ancient Egyptian art forms are characterized by regularity and detailed depiction of gods, human beings, heroic battles, and nature, and a high proportion of surviving works were intended to provide solace and utility to the deceased in the afterlife. Artists endeavored to preserve everything from the present as clearly and permanently as possible. Ancient Egyptian art was created using media ranging from papyrus drawings to pictographs (hieroglyphics) and include funerary sculpture carved in relief and in the round from sandstone, quartz diorite and granite. Ancient Egyptian art displays an extraordinarily vivid representation of the Ancient Egyptian's socioeconomic status and belief systems. Egyptian art in all forms obeyed one law: the mode of representing Pharaohs, gods, man, nature and the environment remained consistent for thousands of years.

Week 1

12 Jan 2015
This is the first day of school after a long sem break. It is also the first day of History of Art & Design. I hate history >.< In today lesson I understand will in the different between Art & Design.
Art is more to the out look and the creativity of the things. Design is more to the use of the things and to solve the problems.

On the left is a art, on the right is a design.
We will more prefer on the right side chair because it is more comfortable. 

Beside that, we are given Instagram assingment -o- I don't like Instagram. I don't even know any of the famous artist. So I choose Jackson Pollock just because his art work attracted me.

The Deep, 1953 by Jackson Pollock

I learned about Jackson Pollock.
He was born on 18 January 1912 in Cody, Wyoming. He studied under Thomas Hart Benton before leaving traditional techniques to explore abstraction expressionism via his splatter and action pieces, which involved pouring paint and other media directly onto canvases. He was both renowned and critiqued for his conventions. He died after driving drunk and crashing into a tree in New York 1956, at age 44.
