MODERN ART Most art historians credit this invention with being responsible for the birth of Modern Art. How? Before the camera, as was illustrated in the story you heard earlier, most artists felt a responsibility to use their skills to capture the images of the world on paper or canvas. After the camera was invented, some artists no longer felt that it was their responsibility to be the ones to show everyone else what things and people looked like. A small group of artists began to question what they were doing and came to the conclusion that they no longer felt obligated to paint and draw realistically. MODERN ART Modern artists abandoned all of the accepted rules. Like all new trends, they were in a minority and the general public and the art establishment looked at them with contempt. In Europe, the Royal Academies of Art and rich art patrons practically controlled the art scene for many years. Now, artists were beginning to use their work as an open source of expression and experimentation. Over the years, however, most people came to accept art that does not look completely realistic. 1

2 WHAT IS ART? In the beginning of this course, you were asked to define art. Here is my definition: "Art can be beautiful and unpleasant, simple and complex all at the same time. Art is art if the creator deems it so and a willing viewer takes part in the process. Art should cause people to question, wonder, awe, argue.feel. " ART Art is like a game: you need at least two people to play, so if I say that a simple cardboard box is art, and someone else agrees to be the viewer, then the box is art. In this game of "Art", the viewer has a responsibility to look at the box in as many ways as possible and to ask many questions about it. (Sometimes art is a serious game, and sometimes it is fun and goofy. It s up to the viewer to decide which works best for them.) ART Most people in our society ridicule art that doesn't look "photorealistic" or difficult to do. I often hear people say "I hate that art, it s dumb. Instead, I would prefer that everyone got into the habit of saying, I don t yet understand that art. It is perfectly OK if you don't like/prefer certain kinds of art but we should acknowledge that some people like things we don't and that the opinions of others matter, even if they are different than ours. There is no such thing as good or bad art because what appeals to one person may not appeal to the next. In other words, taste in art is subjective. WHY ARTIST CREATE ART When we look at art and try to interpret it, it can be helpful to ask why the artist might have created it. The following are just some of the possibilities. Most artists create art for more than one of these reasons: 1. To create beauty 2. To create a visual record of a thing or event 3. To make a personal, religious or political statement 4. To make us think 5. To explore different art forms (experiment/ play with different materials or techniques) 6. To express their feelings 7. To design something useful 8. To entertain themselves or others 9. To make money or become famous 10. To shock us into reacting for or against something. 11. To inform or educate us. MOVEMENTS WHAT IS A MOVEMENT? When a group of people get together to achieve a common goal. IMPRESSIONISM ( ) One of the first important movements after the invention of the camera. Concerned with color and light Paint was applied to the canvas in a much more carefree way Blobs of paint & textured brushstrokes Edges of shapes and forms are not always well-defined The subjects of the paintings changed to everyday, common settings & people. Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, and Mary Cassatt were some of the most famous of the Impressionists. Other names to remember who dabbled in the movement, but do not fit neatly into that category are Edgar Degas, and Vincent Van Gogh, and Paul Cezanne. 2
