Art History Kasaysayan ng sining  Jan van Eyck, The Arnolfini Portrait, 1434.   Looking at artworks begins with observation. Think of it as approaching each artwork as a mystery to be solved. What is going on? Why did the artist make this? What is it about? Like a detective, you will be looking for clues that will help you answer these kinds of questions this semester. Let’s start by practicing our observational skills.  Ang pagtingin sa mga likhang sining ay nagsisimula sa pagmamasid. Isipin ito bilang papalapit sa bawat likhang sining bilang isang misteryo na malulutas. Ano ang nangyayari? Bakit ginawa ito ng artist? Tungkol Saan iyan? Tulad ng isang tiktik, ikaw ay naghahanap ng mga pahiwatig na makakatulong sa iyo na sagutin ang mga ganitong uri ng mga katanungan sa semestre na ito. Magsimula tayo sa 

pamamagitan ng pagsasanay sa ating mga kasanayan sa pagmamasid.  Please list what you see, including their location and appearance. Mangyaring ilista ang iyong nakikita, kabilang ang parehong lokasyon at hitsura.  For example: There are a pair of light brown wooden shoes in the bottom left corner. Halimbawa: Mayroong isang pares ng light brown na sapatos na kahoy sa ibabang kaliwang sulok.  1.

Art Analysis: Guernica Name: /10 a 

 

 Pablo Picasso, Guernica, 1937  When this painting was made, most people would have been aware that the small Spanish village of Guernica was bombed by Italian and German warplanes. The Pro-Fascist Spanish government believed the village contained anti-Fascist rebels, and asked Italy and Germany to help fight.  Nang gawin ang pagpipinta na ito, alam ng karamihan na ang maliit na nayon ng Guernica sa Espanya ay binomba ng mga eroplano ng Italyano at Aleman. Naniniwala ang Pro-Pasistang Espanyol na ang nayon ay naglalaman ng mga anti-pasistang rebelde, at nagtanong sa Italya at Germany upang makatulong sa paglaban.  You are allowed to use phone or computer-based translation for this assignment.
