[Music] [Music] hello everyone it's another great day of learning my name is teacher pao your grade 10 arts teacher join me in exploring a world full of colors patterns and creativity let's all create art from the heart [Music] before we start with today's lesson let's do a quick recap of what we have studied last time we discussed about the principles of design and the elements of art do you remember how many principles of design are there we have six first one is unity and variety next is balance followed by emphasis and subordination fourth principle is contrast the fifth is repetition and rhythm and the last one is scale and proportion how about the elements of art how many elements are there yes there are seven elements of art and these are line shape space value color texture and perspective do you remember the turn vanishing point in perspective where can we find the vanishing point in this photo of a tunnel yes it's right in the middle why don't we zoom in and see what's on the other side of this tunnel so you see we'll be going on a virtual tour of different artworks focusing on various art movements because that is our topic for today the characteristics of arts from the various art movements [Music] the first part of this virtual tour is all about impressionistic art movement impressionism emerged in the second half of the 19th century where artists moved away from the established practices and discovered new ways to paint they used pure unmixed colors side by side using short broken strokes instead of a solid line for more visual effect on the subject they started on something new like capturing scenes of life like household objects seascapes houses and ordinary people they preferred working outdoor in a natural light incorporating unusual visual angles out of proportion objects subject placed off-centered and empty spaces on the canvas all these characterize the works of several artists one of which is claude monet who basically started impressionism monet is best known for his landscape paintings the term impressionism was coined from his artwork entitled impression sunrise aside from this he also used impressionism in this artwork this one is entitled irises in monet's garden which he created in the 1900s using oil paint another artist who also practiced impressionism is august trinoir rinwa's work were snapshots of real-life paintings of actual people and figures as we can see in his artwork luncheon of the boating party that was created in the year 1881 using oil paint in canvas together with monet and renoir edward mane also practiced impressionism his works depicted modern life subjects which is evident in his piece argento created in 1874 using oil paint and canvas monet renoir and mani are just a few of the artists in this movement what can you say about their technique in painting now that we've seen some of their works let us now go to the next part of the tour which is all about expressionism another group of artists who became popular in the 1900s are the expressionists unlike the impressionists these artists created works with more emotional force to obtain this they used distorted outlines in unrealistic or unnatural images comparing this to impressionism the artworks in expressionism are not actually what we see in the physical world but it all depends on the artist's imagination and feelings there are different styles that emerged within the expressionist art movement these are neoprimitivism fauvism dadaism surrealism and social realism neoprimitivism is combined elements from the native arts of the south sea islanders and the wood carvings of african tribes among the western artists who adapted these elements was amadeo modigliani who created a yellow sweater in the year 1919 using oil paint in canvas oval faces and elongated shapes of african art can be seen in both his sculptures and paintings fauvism is the style of lay forth which means the wild beasts in french they are a group of early 20th century modern artists whose works are emphasized with strong colors and visual distortions look at this work by henry mattis the most important artist of favism it's called woman with hat created in 1905 using oil paint in canvas moving on to the next art style dadaism is a style characterized by imagination remembered images and visual tricks and surprises the art poetry and performance produced by dada artists is often satirical and nonsensical in nature as in this artwork by theo van josberg entitled street music which he created in the year 1915 using pencil and paper the dada artists turned their backs from using traditional styles in arts leading to their new style they called non-style this next art style is called surrealism and it came from the term super realism a style that depicts an illogical subconscious dream world it is a clear expression of departure from reality as if the artists were dreaming seeing illusions or experiencing a change in mental state many survivalist works appeared morbid or gloomy subjects as in this work of salvador dali in 1931 persistence of a memory others were quite playful and even humorous such as this artwork entitled personages with a star created in 1933 by joanne miro using oil paint in canvas the last art style from the expressionist art movement is social realism this movement expresses the artist's role in social reform the artists used their works to show protest against injustice inequality immorality and other concerns of the human condition social realists have addressed different social issues for the purpose of increasing people's awareness leading to reforms and general welfare take a look at this painting here this one is made by ben shawn in 1948. using egg tempera on board he called it miners wives so why was it considered an artwork under social realism we all know the dangers of mining and a lot of people mostly men have lost their lives trying to make a living for their families through mining you can see the worried face of a miner's wife illustrated in this painting it is a sad reality [Music] the next movement that emerged after expressionism is the abstractionist movement while expressionism was emotional abstractionism was logical and rational geometrical shapes patterns lines angles textures and swirls of colors were used there are two types of abstractionism representational abstractionism depicts still recognizable subjects as in this artwork by jorge brac called oval still life or leviolon you can still see the violin which is the subject of this painting while pure abstractionism does not recognize a subject at all such in this work of francis picabia called the spring or the source the abstractionist movement has four art styles namely cubism futurism mechanical style and non-objectivism the cubist style was derived from the word cube a three-dimensional geometric figure composed of lines planes and angles among the popular cubist artists is pablo picasso i'm sure you have heard of that name before he created this artwork entitled girl before a mirror which he created in the year 1932 using oil paint in canvas futurism is a style of art that began in italy in the early 1900s it is fast-paced machine propelled artists draw inspiration through motion force speed and strength of mechanical forms thus their works depicted the dynamic sensation of all these as seen in the works of italian painter gino severini this painting is entitled armored train he created this using oil paint on canvas in the year 1915 there is also the mechanical style of art basic forms such as planes cones spheres cylinders all fit together in a precise and neat manner take a look at this artwork from fernand ledger the city was made in the year 1919 using oil paint on canvas you can see that the artist used the basic forms mentioned earlier to create a mechanical style of art the last one is non-objectivism from the term non-object works in non-objectivism did not make use of figures or even representation of figures just like in this oil painting of viet mondrian new york city he just used lines of primary colors to represent his idea of his subject using non-objectivism in this part of the tour we will talk about pop art and pop art what is the difference between the two they may sound alike but they are very much different in style optical art or op art is an art movement that gives a visual experience a form of action painting taking place in the viewer's eye giving the illusion of movement when you take a look at an artwork in this movement just like richard riley's fall you may think that the artwork is moving but in reality it's just playing tricks with your eyes pop art or popular art is a movement that made use of common places trivial even nonsensical objects that pop artists enjoy this is called marilyn monroe by andy warhol created in the year 1967 using silkscreen print we can see over here a photo of cordillera labyrinth by roberto villanueva which was done in the year 1989 using bamboo and runo grass installed in the ccp grounds this is an example of installation art a contemporary art form that makes use of sculptural materials and other media to modify the way the viewer experiences a particular space it is also called environmental art project art and temporary art it creates an entire sensory experience for the viewers that allows them to walk through them [Music] this one is probably my favorite type of art it's called performance art [Music] foreign do it's a form of modern art in which the actions of an individual or a group in a particular space and in a particular time constitute the work it involves four basic elements time space the performer's body and a relationship between the performer and the audience the performer himself or herself is the artist i'm sure a lot of you guys love singing dancing acting just performing in general but were you aware that while you're doing all that you're already creating art who else now you know well i guess that's the end of our virtual tour today i'm sure you've learned a lot about the different art movements and the artists who practice them as well as their artworks and now to test your learnings from our lesson let's have a short activity today's activity is true or false we will read each statement carefully and you will decide if the statement is true or false you can write your answer on a sheet of paper or simply state them as we go through the activity you will have five seconds to answer let's start with the first statement in creating mechanical art you don't need to use true-to-life subjects planes cones spheres and cylinders are enough the statement is true surrealism is also known as super realism because it deals with fantasies and daydreams the correct answer is true every individual has the right to become an artist in their own way the answer is true claude monet edward mane and august renoir are expressionists the correct answer is false they are impressionists installation art creates an entire sensory experience for the viewer that allows him to walk through them what's the answer it's true non-objectivism style is under the expressionism movement this statement is false non-objectivism is under abstractionism when an artist creates a piece of art conveying an issue about a global pandemic and its economic effect this is social realism the correct answer is true installation art is also known as environmental art this statement is true pure abstractionism depicts still recognizable subjects while representational abstractionism does not recognize any subject at all the answer is false it's the other way around representational abstractionism have the recognizable subjects and the pure abstractionism does not alright did you get everything correctly i'm sure you did great job everyone i hope you had as much fun as i did in today's lesson for your homework i want you to create your own modern artwork you will need the following materials 1-8 illustration board old magazines newspapers or calendars
