Post #4- Lecture Native American-Gothic Architecture

 Native American to Gothic Architecture

The difference between Native American Architecture to Gothic Architecture is very drastic, but in a very revolutionary way. Native Americans started with very simple and easy structures, like the teepee. Then the Greeks built the Amphitheatre that brought new light to audiences and performers. Then there were chariot races, which the worst seat in the house was being the performer. The Romans brought the Colosseum, which brought more versatility to performances/events like, Ludi Romani games, animal slaughters, and the flooding of the colosseum to clean up the aftermath of the slaughters. After the Colosseum, there was the Pantheon, which means "all gods." The pantheon was built for wonder and prestige. There was a hole at the top for light to shine through and for people to feel closer to the heavens. The Hagia Sophia had revolutionized acoustics, lighting and temperature control. After the Hagia Sophia came the Gothic Cathedral. The Gothic Cathedral had three entrances to represent the holy trinity, and it became a new place of entertainment. Like a form of entertainment all of the buildings we learned about all had some form of entertainment and value to each culture/background.

MIDTERM 211-3- Group 5

 Fauvism Link to presentation: Media Arts Mid Term - Google Slides Fauvism was inspired by the Post-Impressionist movement. The art included bold colors, non-naturalistic depictions, and textured brushwork. The art was very EXPRESSIVE!! The art gave any object, person, or landscape new colors that people were not used to seeing. It brought many new shapes to objects.   Fauvism in 1 minute: (188) Fauvism | 1 Minute Crash Course - YouTube Fauvism today is still in relation to Fauvism art in the 20th century, An artist that I found interesting is Tim Fowler. The Lauren Bacall that Tim painted with oils, varnish, acrylic, spray paint and gloss may not exactly be the materials that 20th century artists used, but the end result is a revolutionary one. This painting looks like Henri Matisse- Madame Matisse. (The green line) My question for the class: Where did fauvism originate? Answer: D.) France     *** I edited all the videos except Greenberg. ***

Post #8- Lecture-Renaissance

 Lecture-Rennaissance The Rennaissance started in Florence, Italy. The paintings were muted, the colors were muted, and there were rules to what classified an artist as an Artist. The biggest rule was to add black to paintings to make everything stand out. They also used white to create movement in the paintings. Something called the Humanist Philosophy means people have the worth.   The Rennaissance means "rebirth", and it introduced the idea of "Humanism." Humanism came through more realistic, more 3-D, background perspectives, and more color. Byzantine art mimicked more symbolism over reality. Backgrounds were typically Gold, and they had large person in the center of the painting because they were important.  Early Rennaissance brought many painting techniques, and very famous painters and sculptors. Three painting techniques were: Fresca, Oils, and Tempera. Oils were the most preferred in the Early Rennaissance. Brunelleschi did the Duomo. He had rediscovered l...
