REALISM The artist main function is to describe as accurately and

honestly as possible what is observed through the senses. He cannot help being influenced by what he feels or think.

We can say that an art or work of an artist is realistic when the presentation and organization of details seem so natural.

FERNANDO AMORSOLOS’S PAINTING

ABSTRACTIONThis is used when the artist become so interested in one phase of a scene or situation that he does not

show the subject at all as an objective reality, but only his idea or his feeling about it . Abstract means ‘to

move away or separate’’. The painter or artist paints the picture not as really looked. The

picture is not just like life. It is not ‘’realistic’’.

By. Willem de Kooning

In the field of sculpture artist began doing abstract sculpture. They ignored the exact form of a real life object. They feel that the texture and shape is more important to them than the exact form.

By. Constantin Brancusis ‘’Bird in Space’’

Abstract subject presented in many ways like:a. distortion-the regular shape twisted out.

b. Elongation - it refers to that which is being lengthened,

a protraction or an extension.

‘’Resurrection’’- el Greco

c. Mangling- few artist who show subject or object which are cut, lacerated, mutilated, or hacked

with repeated blows.

Mangling

d. cubism- its stresses abstract form through the uses of cone, cylinder, or sphere at the expenses of other pictorial

elements.

Paul Cezanne George Braque

e. Abstract expressionism- strong color, heavy impasto, uneven brush strokes, and rough texture are typical characteristics.

SYMBOLISMIs a visible sign of something invisible such as an idea or a quality. It can be simply an emblem or sign like: % to represent percent, lion to represent

courage, lamb to represent meekness.

By. Alfred lord Tennyson‘‘crossing the bar’’

SPOLIARIUM

Is an old painting on canvas 4.25m x 7.75m. With the use of heavy and strong brush strokes, Juan Luna expressed his anger over the abuses and cruelties during that time, being suffered by his countrymen, the Filipinos from the Spanish authorities. The vertical line evidenced by the straight body of an strength and stability; the horizontal lines are seen on the dead person

which express impression of serenity and repose. The diagonal lines are clearly shown in the arms of men pulling

the wounded gladiator toward the other room.

SPOLIARIUM

‘’Lion of Lucerne’’.

Lion of Lucerne- is a famous masterpiece of early 19th century is dedicated to the memory of heroic fight and

final defeat of Swiss guard

The lion always considered a symbol of courage and strength, served the artist to demonstrate a tragic

event a fight to the death.

FAUVISM The fauve’s did not attempt to express ethical, philosophical or psychological themes. Most of these artists tried to paint pictures of comfort, joy, and pleasure. They used bright colors.

FUAVISM by. HENRY MATISSE

DADAISMThey tried to shock and provoke the public with outrageous pieces of writing, poetry recitals and art exhibitions. Dadaism art was playful and highly experimental. The name ‘’dada’’ a French word meaning ‘’hobby horse’’ was deliberately chosen because it was nonsensical.

DADAISM

FUTURISM

Futurist painters wanted their works to capture the speed and force of modern industrial society. Their paintings glorified the mechanical energy of modern life. Subjects included automobiles, motorcycles, and railroad trains subject that express the explosive vitality of a modern city.

FUTURISM

SURREALISMSurrealism uses art as weapon against the evils and

restrictions that surrealists see in society. It tried to reveal a new and higher reality than that of daily life .

The subject of this kind attempt to show what is inside man’s mind as well as the appearance of his outside world.

The surrealists claim to create a magical world more beautiful than the real one through art.

SURREALISM

The Elephant in Celebes

EXPRESSIONISM

It influenced the play wrights in English and filipino like the work of Amelia Lapena-Bonifacio in ‘Sepang-Loca’. The exponents of expressionism believed in the necessity of a spiritual rebirth for man in an age that was becoming influenced by materialism. Paul dumols’’paglilitis ni Mang sreapio’’ Revel Aguila’s ‘‘mapait sa bato’’.

The emotional expressions in expressionistic painting could be describe as involving pathos, morbidity, violence or chaos and tragedy.

EXPRESSIONISM

The impressionist style of painting is characterized chiefly by concentration on the general impression produced by a scene or object and the use of unmixed primary colors and small strokes to simulate actual reflected light.

IMPRESSIONISM

Impressionism The term 'Impressionist' was first used as an insult in response to an exhibition of new paintings in Paris in 1874. A diverse group of painters, rejected by the art establishment, defiantly set up their own exhibition. They included Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas. What characterizes Impressionism for most people nowadays, is both the subject matter and the technique. Landscapes, and scenes from modern urban and suburban life painted in bright, pure colours are typical. Impressionists often began (and sometimes completed) their paintings outdoors rather in a studio. Their rapidly applied brushstrokes are often visible.

*To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced, and having evoked it in oneself, then, by means of movements, lines, colors, sounds, or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling that others may experience the same feeling--this is the activity of art. *Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings and also experience them.

So what is an ART? (Leo Tolstoy)

Arts are an opportunity to express what we think, what we feel, what we love or hate, what we hope, what we want to change, what we want from the future and admire from the past, and whatever else might move us. It's part of humanity to want and need to express those things. Not having the arts is like living in a black and white world when color is an option.

What is ART for me?

… AND BECAUSE ARTS, FOR ME, IS HOW I SEE THINGS AND FEEL ABOUT IT AND THEN TRANSMIT IT TO A CANVASS, THE FOLLOWING WAS MY SOME OF THE FINISHED WORKS…

A lot of what artists do is tell stories. They help us make sense of our world, and they broaden our experience and understanding. The arts enable us to imagine the unimaginable, and to connect us to the past, the present, and the future, sometimes simultaneously.
