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.

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.)
ARTMost people in our society ridicule art that doesn't look "photo-
realistic" 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 ARTWhen 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 beauty2. To create a visual record of a thing or event3. To make a personal, religious or political statement4. To make us think5. To explore different art forms (experiment/ play with different materials or techniques)6. To express their feelings7. To design something useful8. To entertain themselves or others9. To make money or become famous10. 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 (1860-1900)• 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.

PROJECT 26: IMPRESSIONIST-INSPIRED WORK*COMPLETE ON YOUR WORKSHEET • Create an original artwork based on the work of the
Impressionists (or Seurat/Pointillism).
• Drawing from observation/life is preferred, although you may use a photo reference.
• Layout: 2.0” border on all 4 sides of your page (your final work will be 5.0” x 8.0”)
• You may use color pencil, conte crayon, or pastels for this piece. A piece of paper MUST be taped on top of your artwork if using conte or pastels, as shown in class.
Your outdoor scene should be created by making an “impression”. This is done by placing marks of color or dots/points on the page. There should be little to NO white space.
CUBISM (EARLY 1900’S)
• Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque• Translated shapes of people and things into geometric
shapes, planes, and forms
• Simplification, Distortion & Rearrangement of forms • Many vantage points combined into one• Extremely complex movement… we will keep it simple for
now.

DADA - (~1916-1924)
• Reflected the absurdity of life in their war-torn world by displaying absurd art work
• Art was strange; made no sense; combined items that would typically have no relation to each other.
• The story behind the name “Dada” was either chosen at random by stabbing a knife into a dictionary, or consciously selected for a variety of connotations in different languages - French for “hobbyhorse” or Russian for “yes, yes.”
• Marcel duChamp and Man Ray were well-known Dada-ists.

SURREALISM• Was a cultural and artistic movement beginning around
