rdrbar 1.This painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti is called the Bower Meadow. Both this painting by Rossetti and the Raphael are examples of realistic paintings that are considered "idealism". The artist paints realistically but, emphasizes certain aspects for the sake of beauty. This painting is also good as an example of our concept "texture" so be sure to let me know about how textures are depicted - Are they realistic? Are the marks for design's sake? Using our list of Visual Elements from the lecture, go through each of the elements and discuss how this artist uses this elements to create the desired effect in the final work. Be sure to discuss how LINE, SHAPE, LIGHT, SPACE, MASS, VOLUME, TEXTURE and COLOR are used in the paintings. If any other concepts from the lectures are noticeable, please include them. The Art Analysis Checklist #1 will help you with these process. Sometimes, an artist concentrates on some elements. Sometimes, they don't use one of the elements in order to concentrate on others. If you feel this is the case, explain why. There are a couple of interesting features in the design layout and composition of this painting. Can you spot them? There are also a few elements repeated in different places. Also, consider the elements that we studied last week - Line, Shape and Light. How does Rossetti use these elements? Do a quick search using google on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Did Rossetti have any involvement with this group and if he did what was the relationship? Find one short interesting fact about Rossetti or the Pre-Raphaelites. (Don't forget to provide a web link to your source.) Post either a link or the image of another painting by Rossetti. Tell us whether you think that the artist was successful in what they attempted and whether you like it. Our first painting is: Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The Bower Meadow. 1872. Oil on canvas. City Art Galleries, Manchester, UK. Here's a link to the painting. http://www.abcgallery.com/R/rossetti/rossetti40.html Other works by Rossetti: http://www.abcgallery.com/R/rossetti/rossetti.html I always like reading about the artist personal life, so here are some links that tell more about Rossetti. Is there anything about his life that affects his artwork?: https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/becoming-modern/Victorian-art-architecture/pre-raphaelites/a/rossetti-ecce-ancilla-domini When you are looking for links and other Pre-Raphaelite work, this link would possibly be a good start - https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/becoming-modern/Victorian-art-architecture

This week's painting is by Raphael Sanzio. It is called "Marriage of the Virgin". I am using it as an example of perspective and use of space. You should also be able to see the other elements of art too. According to a long since missing, Wikipedia account - The story depicted is not Biblical, but relates to a legend which posits that so many people wanted to wed Mary that the High Priest ordained a test to see who would find favor for her hand. Every eligible man in the Davidic Line was given a dry rod to place on the altar. Joseph's rod was the only one to flower. Mary and Joseph each have five attendants. Joseph's attendants are failed suitors for the bride, one of whom is in the act of snapping his rod, which had failed to blossom. It is based on two earlier paintings by Perugino. Raphael studied under Perugino and worked as an apprentice in Perugino's workshop. Perugino's paintings were one of the first two use one-point perspective and these painting were quite well known. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXIXA4_5ehw
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Pietro_in_Montorio Using our list of Visual Elements from the lecture, go through each of the elements and discuss how this artist uses this elements to create the desired effect in the final work. Be sure to discuss how LINE, SHAPE, LIGHT, SPACE, MASS, VOLUME, TEXTURE and COLOR are used in the painting. If any other concepts from the lectures are noticeable, please include them. The "Art Elements Checklist" in this week's readings will "walk you through the process by asking questions that may help you find the different elements. I have some reading about perspective and some youtube videos if you need help finding the main perpective lines - the horizon line, the vanishing point and the vanishing lines. Space, Volume and Mass - Within the reality of the painting, do the Objects within the space see heavy or not? Do the objects fill up and crowd the space of the painting? Or is the painting filled with space? Textures - What do you notice about how the artist shows textures within the painting? Is it realistic? Is there extreme detail - does it have more detail than really would exist? Does the artist depict just enough to convey their ideas? Is the detail in the painting stylized or realistic - are the marks meant for design’s sake OR for the purpose of imitating textures seen in the real world? The artist, Raphael, was one of the 3 most famous of the Italian Renaissance painters. He tried to paint in a style that is considered "idealize". This means that the realism is adjusted to something that he considers more beautiful than reality. What types of changes did he make to make things "prettier"? Another stylistic quality of Renaissance paintings is that they tend to try to be "cool, calm, and elegant" This painting is well known for the perspective.Can you see the major perspective lines? Where's the horizon line? Where is the vanishing point? Can you find the vanishing lines? Also, consider the elements that we studied last week - Line, Shape and Light. How does Raphael use these elements? (Are the shapes rounded, square, jagged, smooth? Is the lighting, strongly contrasted...light and bright.....deep and dark? Does the lighting create a mood? What do you notice about the differences of painting styles? How do the colors affect the mood of the painting? Are they light, dark, contrasting, bright? ) Tell us whether you think that the artist was successful in what they attempted and whether you like it. How do the styles of Rossetti and Raphael compare? Post either a link or the image of one of Raphael's paintings. (Hint: The websites listed below have other paintings by the artist.) Look up Raphael on the web, and post one interesting fact about Raphael. Post to 3 other people. Our second painting is: Raphael. Spozalizio (The Engagement of Virgin Mary). 1504. Oil on roundheaded panel, 170 x 117 cm. Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_Guv2Mk1E0 http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/bio/r/raphael/biograph.html Also: Additional work by Raphael from the web gallery of art.

How do modern societies (our society, for example) differ in their relationship to works of art when compared with prehistoric and ancient societies? (Do they use art in a different way?) Are there differences in the places art was kept then and now? When did people begin to relegate artworks to museums and galleries (and did society actually just relegate art to museums)? Who contributed to the making of art then...and now ( think of the pyramids and tombs of Egypt, for example)? Do we in the modern world have the same uses for art that earlier societies had? If so, give some examples. |
