Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. Led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Cubism involved analyzing subjects by breaking them into geometric forms and depicting them from multiple perspectives and points of view in the same canvas. Cubism broke from traditional perspective in painting and used color reduction, focusing on browns and grays to emphasize form over color.Picasso

Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. Led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Cubism was characterized by the depiction of subjects from multiple viewpoints to represent the subject in a multidimensional way. Cubist artists were influenced by African and Egyptian art as well as the work of Paul C辿zanne and Fauvism. Between 1907-1912, during Analytic Cubism, artists depicted objects using geometric forms and multiple perspectives on two-dimensional surfaces. From 1912-1921, Synthetic Cubism incorporated collage materials like newspaper into the compositions. Cubism had a significant influence on subsequent art movements and culture in general.Iain & Jane\'s CV

Banksy is a graffiti artist known for critiquing social issues through his street art. However, his work is often disrespected and destroyed by those who do not appreciate it, including local councils and businessmen. Some see Banksy as commercializing street art for profit as the rarity of his surviving works has increased their value tremendously in the art market. There is debate around whether Banksy is to blame for this commercialization or if he is just an artist using his platform to bring attention to important issues.Picasso and Cubism

Pablo Picasso was an influential abstract artist known for developing Cubism in the early 1900s. Cubism rejected realistic depictions and relied on geometric shapes and lines to show objects from multiple views simultaneously, breaking them into abstract fragments like a broken mirror. Some key characteristics of Cubism included abstracted, rearranged, and simplified geometric forms showing more than one view of a subject.Cubism

Cubism was an influential early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. Led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, Cubism was characterized by the geometric fragmentation and synthetic reassembly of forms to depict subject matter from multiple viewpoints in the same canvas. Major influences on Cubism included African tribal masks, C辿zanne's compositions, and Fauvism. Cubism evolved from an early phase of angular, simplified still life subjects to a later incorporation of collage materials and brighter colors. Key Cubist artists beyond Picasso and Braque included Juan Gris, Fernand L辿ger, and Jean Metzinger.Periods of Art

Street art began as art created in public spaces and has evolved over time. It originated from cave paintings and graffiti tags, and became prominent in New York City in the late 1800s. Street art allows self-expression and comes in many forms from political messages to cartoon-like doodles. It has faced criticism for being illegal vandalism, though some see it as a form of art. Notable street artists include Jon Burgerman, known for vibrant cartoon-like doodles; Keith Haring, who used lines to create contained works; and JR, who pastes large black and white portraits in public spaces.Conceptual art presentation (1)

Conceptual art emerged in the 1960s-1970s as a reaction against commercialized art. It prioritized ideas over traditional art objects, using images and objects to convey concepts. Influenced by Duchamp's readymades, it questioned what art is. There was no set style, and works took many forms including installations, performances, and land art. Key ideas included art being conceptual rather than material, reducing objects to minimalism, and requiring viewer participation to complete works. Prominent conceptual artists profiled include Damien Hirst, known for installations using medical and domestic items to explore death, and Tracy Emin who used autobiographical works addressing sexuality and relationships.Conceptual art

Conceptual art emerged in the mid-1960s and early 1970s as a reaction against formalism. It emphasized ideas and concepts over the creation of traditional art objects. Conceptual artists used various media like installations, performances, films and photographs to convey concepts and push the boundaries of what constituted art. Some key ideas were that art is essentially conceptual, minimal in form, and aims to dematerialize the art object. Artists like Joseph Kosuth, Tracy Emin, and Damien Hirst used unconventional materials and forms of presentation to challenge viewers' perceptions of art.Conceptual art

The document summarizes the origins and history of contemporary street art. It began in the late 1970s in New York City as political propaganda and an expression of rebellion through vandalism. Key early artists included Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat in the 1980s who brought more than just graffiti to the streets. Modern street artists mentioned include Invader, JR, Blu, Banksy, Shepard Fairey and his Obey movement, who have continued using street art to make political statements and connect with the public.Installation art

This document provides an overview of installation art, including its definition, history, and important figures. Installation art creates an immersive environment for viewing that aims to evoke emotions or thoughts in participants. It began in the 1970s with artists questioning boundaries and using everyday objects as art. Three influential artists discussed are Kara Walker, known for her large silhouettes addressing race and history; Judy Pfaff, who creates colorful mixed-media pieces; and F辿lix Gonz叩les-Torres, whose minimalist works reflected his experience with AIDS. The document also explores connections between installation art and past movements as well as other cultures.Earth art

Earth art, also known as land art, earthworks, or environmental art, involves creating artworks directly in nature using natural materials like stones, leaves, mud, and twigs. The document discusses several earth artists like Andy Goldsworthy, Robert Smithson, and Richard Long. It provides examples of their artworks, which are typically large-scale sculptures or installations created outdoors using materials found in the natural environment. The emergence of earth art in the 1960s-70s was influenced by a reaction against commercialism and a desire to create art outside the gallery setting and integrate it with the natural world.Surrealism

After World War I, many European artists rejected traditional values and created strange, shocking works inspired by dreams, fantasy, and the subconscious. This artistic movement was called Surrealism. Surrealism combined unrelated objects in unnatural settings and was influenced by psychoanalysis and thinkers like Sigmund Freud. Important Surrealist artists included Salvador Dali, known for his highly detailed works exploring dreams and motifs, and Ren辿 Magritte, who used playful and humorous juxtapositions of illogical elements. Surrealism was considered revolutionary as it challenged conventions about what constituted art.Abstraction+cubism
Abstraction+cubismteamhumanities
油
At the beginning of the 20th century, artists faced a rapidly changing world due to new technologies like photography, film, sound recording, and transportation innovations. This led artists to develop more radical styles like abstraction to match the expanded boundaries in communication and travel. Abstraction removes characteristics from subjects to focus on their essential forms. Cubism, an early abstract movement, rejected traditional perspective by depicting objects from multiple views and emphasizing the flatness of the canvas through fractured, flattened shapes. Key abstract artists from this period included Picasso, Braque, Duchamp, Gris, Doesburg, and in Picasso's Bull series.medieval- rennaissance

The document discusses developments in art and architecture from the Early Medieval period through the Renaissance. In the Early Medieval period, Christianity was spreading across Europe leading to the rise of powerful churches and early universities. Gothic cathedrals like Notre Dame featured architecture aimed at expressing a unity between God and humanity. Early Renaissance art moved away from flat, symbolic figures toward more naturalistic and human representations that explored how space could be rationally organized. Key artists of the Italian Renaissance included Brunelleschi, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Raphael, who pioneered techniques like linear perspective, while northern European masters like Jan van Eyck and Albrecht D端rer also made important contributions.prehistoric/ancient

Martin Luther sparked the Protestant Reformation in 1517 by posting his 95 Theses criticizing the Catholic Church. In the 1600s, Baroque art like Caravaggio's works emphasized emotion and drama. Rococo art in the 1700s featured themes of gaiety and wealth as seen in Fragonard's The Swing. In the 1800s, artistic movements like Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism emerged in reaction to previous styles, with Neoclassicism drawing from Roman influences, Romanticism embracing emotion, and Realism depicting everyday common people.Impressionism...

History seeks to study and explain significant past events using currently existing evidence. Studying history allows us to understand what happened, develop a sense of identity, defend against propaganda, enrich our understanding of human nature, and understand the context of art and music to make meaning of the present. Historians use primary sources as the foundation of evidence and consider how context, cultural paradigms, language, and selection and confirmation biases may influence interpretations of the past. Different theories of history emphasize the role of great individuals, economic factors, social perspectives like feminism, material conditions according to Marxism, the environment, or psychological motivations.How effective is spoken language?

Spoken language can be an effective way to communicate knowledge, as demonstrated by an exercise where one person described images for their blindfolded partner to draw. However, spoken language also faces limitations, as descriptions require clear and shared understanding of vocabulary, and knowledge related to abstract concepts or processes may be harder to convey solely through words. Overall, while spoken language allowed knowledge sharing in drawing simple images, its effectiveness depends on the topic and ability to clarify any misunderstandings that arise.Globalizationofsport version 2
