POLITICAL STATEMENTS

PSYCHOLOGY AND DREAMSCAPES

EXPRESSIVE COLOURS

CAPTURING TIME

AGAINST CLASSICAL METHODS

PHOTOGRAPHICAL PRECISION

EXQUISIT CORPSE

MASTERED THE TECHNIQUES?

EXQUISIT CORPSE

• THIS WAS A TECHNIQUE USED BY THE SURREALISTS. IT WAS A GAME WHERE A FOLDED PIECE OF PAPER WOULD BE PAST AROUND TO ARTIST AND THIR OWN CONTRIBUTUIN WOULD CREATE THE MATERPIECE.

CAPTURING TIME

• THIS TECHNIQUES WAS USED BY THE IMPRESSIONISTS. THIS METHOD WOULD HAVE THE ARTIST PAINTING EXACTLY HOW THE LIGHT AND MOVEMENT WAS INFRONT OF THEM.

PHOTOGRAPHICAL PRECISION

• THIS WAS SEEN THROUGH THE SURREALIST PERIOD, WHERE EVERYDAY OBJECTS AND UNNERVING PAINTINGS WERE CREATED WITH PRECISION AND FINE DETAIL THROUGH THE ARTIST WORK.

USE OF PHOTOMONTAGE

• PHOTOMONTAGE WAS A MAIN FOCAL POINT THROUGH THE DADA WORKS. THIS TECHNIQUE WOULD HAVE CLIPPING OF NEWSPAPERS AND ARTICLES PLACED TOGETHER IN A COLLAGE-LIKE PIECE.

POLITICAL STATEMENTS

• THIS WAS EXHIBITED STRONGLY THROUGH THE DADA MOVEMENT. JUST COMING OUT OF THE HORRORS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR, THE ARTISTS HAD A LOT TO CRITIZE ABOUT SOCIETY AND ITS WAYS.

LIGHT BRUSHSTROKES

• BECAUSE THEY WISHED TO QUICKLY CAPTURE THE MOMENT IN TIME, IMPRESSIONSITS USED THIS TECHNQUE TO ENABLE THEIR PAINTING TO HOLD MOVEMENT AND TEXTURE.

EXPRESSIVE COLOURS

• THESE COLOURS WHERE USED TO DEMONSTRATE COLOUR AND EMOTION. (e.g. blue for sadness, red for anger, yellow for happiness) THE IMPRESSIONISTS SOUGHT THIS TECHNIQUE TO ENABLE DEEPER MEANING THROUGH THEIR WORKS.

PSYCHOLOGYAND DREAMSCAPES

• THE INTREST IN THE MEANING OS DREAMS AND THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT AROUSED THE SURREALIST ARTISTS FOR A BASICIST BEHIND THEIR MOVEMENT.

AGAINST CLASSICAL METHODS

• THEY ALL WERE! THE DIVOULSION INTO THESE WORKS OF UNREALISTISM, USE OF VIVID COLOURS AND METHODS OTHER THAN CONVENTIONAL PAINTING AND MEDIUMS WAS A BREAKAWAY AND EVOLUTION IN ART THAT ALL THESE MOVEMENTS SOUGHT TO DISCOVER.
