LESSON OUTCOME By the end this session, the students should be able to: 1. Identify the major periods in Western art history; 2. Compare and contrast the artworks produced during the different time periods and art movements; and 3. Discuss the importance of art to the development of Western culture. LESSON PROPER Ancient Greece: •The development of Greek art can be divided into four periods: Geometric, Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic. •The Geometric Period was when geometric shapes and patterns have taken the spotlight in most of the artworks. LESSON PROPER Ancient Greece: •The Archaic Period, on the other hand, placed importance on human figures. This was primarily a result of Greece’s trading activities with other civilizations. •The peak of Greek sculpture and architecture was during the Classical Period. •The time of Alexander the Great was called the Hellenistic Period. During this time, art was primarily focused on showcasing emotions and depicting reality. Ancient Rome: •The Romans were fond of the Greeks and their achievements in the arts. The fusion of Greek and Roman cultures can be seen in most Roman artworks. Middle Ages: •Since the Church was the most important figure, the most important products of the early Middle Ages would have to be copies of the Christian scriptures. Renaissance Art: •During the Renaissance Period, artists valued the “individual” as a subject of arts. The influence of humanism shifted the focus of some artworks during the Renaissance Period to empower the “individual.” Most artworks emphasized naturalism, which was also an influence of humanism since there was a great emphasis on the proportionality of the human body. Mannerism: •Mannerism was a period in art history, which was a product of the Renaissance Period. During the Renaissance, artists would observe nature and try their best to emulate it based on their observations Baroque and Rococo: •The term “baroque” is derived from the Portuguese term barocco which is translated as “irregularly shaped pearl.” This is a suitable description that Rome was the birthplace of the Baroque Period, which according to some historians was a response to Protestantism. Neoclassicism: •Neoclassicism was a movement in Europe that th transpired during the late 18 and early 19 th
centuries. It was the dominant art movement that
time which basically aimed to revive and rekindle the influences of Greek and Roman into art and architecture. Romanticism: •Romanticism, as an art movement, used the central themes of Neoclassicist artworks as a springboard. Romanticists have highlighted heroic elements into their work. Realism: •Realism as a style of work focuses on the accuracy of details that depicts and somehow mirrors reality. •Realism as a modern movement in art veered away from traditional forms of art. Impressionism: •The Impressionism movement started in France, which led to a break from the tradition in European painting. Impressionism is a style of painting that emerged in the mid- to late 1800s. Impressionist artists incorporated scientific principles to achieve a more distinct representation of color. Post-Impressionism: •It is an art movement that emerged in France, which is a result of both the influence and rejection of Impressionism. Neo-Impressionism: •As an art movement, neo-impressionism is considered as a response to empirical realism of impressionism. Most painters who subscribe to such movement rely on a systematic and scientific techniques that have a predetermined visual effects not only on the artwork itself but also how the audience perceive the art. Art Nouveau: •Between 1890 and 1910, countries from Europe and the United States witnessed the emergence and flourishing of a new art style. This ornamental style of art was a break from the conservative historicism, which was the prevailing and dominant theme of most Western artworks. Fauvism: •This is a style of painting that emerged in France around the turn of the 20th century. What makes fauvists revolutionary is that they used pure and vibrant colors by applying straight from the paint tubes directly to the canvas. Cubism: •Between 1907 and 1914, French artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque introduced a new visual arts style called cubism. This style would later on have a huge influence on artists during the 20th century. Cubists highlighted the two- dimensional surface of the picture plane. Futurism: •It is an early 20th century art movement that started in Italy, which highlighted the speed, energy, dynamism, and power of machines. In addition, common themes for works in this movement are restlessness and the fast- pace of modern life. DISCUSSION POINTS •In what ways are Greek and Roman art works similar? Different? •Why is mannerism art considered an offshoot of Renaissance art? •Why is Neoclassicism considered a response or reaction to the Baroque period? . PROCESSING QUESTIONS How has art changed throughout history? What do you think are the reasons why art has evolved and changed throughout time? LESSON SUMMARY •Throughout history, Europe has seen tremendous changes in its political landscape and social makeup, and witnessed transitions of different art movements on different timeframes. • The use of art as a medium of communication of different cultural elements originated from the Greek and Roman civilizations.
