assignment # 5


There are a couple of different types of art during the 18th and 19th century, those art works were romanticism, photography, realism, impressionist and port impressionist. The impressionist opposed doctrines of romantic and realism that they focused more on impressionism.  Most artists used these different types of art to express their messages, emotions or etc. In this time period a lot of the artist were mainly focused in impressionist which is based on what they see then what their mind knows about what they are viewing. The reason why many artists at the time began to be more involve with impressionism  because of a group of artist that were not allowed to show their art work at the salon of 1873.
 
 Claude Monet was a very famous impressionist artist who drew a lot of paintings that showed how some of the impressionist viewed their surroundings. In this painting of Claude Monet you would not be able to identify what is exactly in the painting or what it about. You could look at it from close and far and the more you study the more it will become clear.  The impressionist they do a sketch and they do it fast they don’t take their time painting it or making sure that it is perfect. They paint on direct observation then going back to their studios to paint it and they also use small dabs of paint and not a lot of color in their paintings. Like here we can see how Claude Monet painting looks to us you could see where you could see the strokes of paint and how he only uses a few colors not so many so he could show us active balance.
 
In the post-impressionist the artist reacted differently because some artist didn’t feel like the impressionist wasn’t showing spiritual content or it was missing personal expression so it was split into two different groups. The two groups name were former organizational and personal expression in the post-impressionist they used a part of Japanese’s print to paint their paintings. The post-impressionist they see nature as gift so they paint it with a different perspective. The post-impressionist they use a lot of repetition and they flatten out shapes and makes it broader. Vincent Van Gogh painting he expresses of what the heart feels then what the outer expressions shows. which in this painting he shows how the wheat is in danger by crows and the storm that causes mayhem to the wheat.
