The one picture that I remember is the tomato soup picture from Pop Art. I liked the photo because it seemed so easy yet so complex. At first it was a simple idea but when I learned that their was a wall of all the tomato soups like at a store I really wanted to see it displayed. Pop art is described as Popular art at the time, tomato soup as been around for many years and I wonder when this idea came to the artist. With such a simple idea, I wonder what other things can be made into a art piece like the soup!
I think this picture is a great representation of Pop art because it looks like it is straight of of a comic book with little attention done to fine detail.Pop artists wanted to bring art back to the people and to make it more meaningful to everyday folks. Critics saw Pop art as vulgar, sensational and without merit. Supporters liked it because they felt it was an art everybody could understand and that it brought all elements of art and life to one level.
I found a picture from a famous Dada artist, who was an original Dada painter and then moved to Surrealism but this peice is considered Dada. Max Ernst, the artist of this painting sometimes painted violent, but anti art peices of the war, that were symbolized a protest against violence. This painting is particularly gruesome but not necassarily ugly or disgusting. It is not paricularly aesthetic or pleasing, and is unnatural, making it anti art, on purpose.
The art period i did was Post-impressionism and the picture was a Still Life of Apples in a Bowl. the picture fits the art periods requirements and looks very clean. The idea behind the picture is a general still life, which is a staple in the post-impressionism period.
I would have to say that pop art is my favorite modern art period becuase its got a lot of things that i recognize in it. I looked at the picture "Just What Is It that Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?" by Hamilton. I thought this picture represented pop art very well because of its got many items and images that we are familior with. Also, the art is created with different pictures put together which is one of the characteristics of pop art itself.
This picture is abstract. Very abstract art. It is called Midnight Jazz, but it doesnt look much like jazz at midnight. I really like the idea of abstract art because there are not very many rules and restrictions to make abstract art what it is. It is also one of the more complex art forms because the artists probably have a crazy sparatic imagination. I have an imagination but probably not a crazy one like the painters who paint abstract art. I like this painting because there is minimal color but the color is bright. I have a pretty good eye to color and this painting is bright but has the minimal color options in the painting.
The painting I chose is "The Dream" by Salvador Dali from the surrealist period. In the image, a sleeping mans head is depicted as detached from the body and is being held up by posts in what appears to be the middle of a desert. Surrealist art is sometimes categorized by the irrational and disturbing and is said to be a product of the creative subconscious mind, something that supposedly can be accessed while in the dream state. This picture is especially surrealist because it deals directly with dreaming and sleep, as mentioned in the name, and exhibits complete irrationality in the scene.
The picture that I chose is called Head On and it is from the Installation art period. The piece is 99 life-sized replicas of wolves flying in the air then being stopped by a piece of glass blocking there way. It is installion art because it is a big exhibit which has a huge image and it is only found in this one particular location. This piece has a very strong image and I think shows the intensity and emotion of Installation art.
I chose Banksy as a social realism artist. Although he is a graffiti artist, every piece of his sends a political or theological message across. The very fact that his art is graffiti in a British town that does not allow graffiti is a rebellion against the political system. In his piece about looters, He shows US soldiers looting a store instead of defending the people as they are supposed to, a piece aimed towards the soldiers in New Orleans, who are supposed to be helping flood victims but instead take advantage of the abandoned stores. It is supposed to remind us not to simply trust blindly and almost to mistrust the government. In another one of his pieces the Grey Ghost, he shows a graffiti person being wiped over by one of England's cleaners, who wipe off graffiti. Although many people view this as a good thing Banksy reminds people that there is more to graffiti art, that the cleaners are non-discriminatory in what they erase. Banksy shows emotion in the graffiti character, forcing a personal connection between the art and the viewer. He also pokes fun a t the government in this art, drawing a graffiti of their actions and leaving them no choice but to follow through with Banksy's predictions or make a contradiction.
The picture I chose to discuss comes from the surrealist period in time. Art of this era was characterized by a fascination with the bizarre, the incongruos, and the irrational. Surrealist art was closely related to Dada. The painting I chose to represent the surrealist movement was "Entre Les Trous De La Memoire by Dominique Appia." In english this translates to "between the holes of memory." I believe this painting represents surrealist art so well because it is very bizarre and requires much thought when interpreting its different traits. I believe this painting has a great deal of underlying information which can be found through creativity and does a great job portraying the themes and ideas of the surrealist time.
this picture done by Salvador Dali I think is a perfect representation of Surrealism because of how honestly, this would only happen in one's dreams. What goes on in this painting isn't real at all with the fact that there are horses and elephants with legs that are at least 100 feet long and just happen to be carrying a palance and a naked girl, who is you check the proportions she would have to be at least 5 times the size of a normal man. Also on the right side very faintly, it looks like there is a castle there but this one is floating on the darker cloud. Only someone dreaming would be able to think of these things that are in the painting
matt macdougall per 4 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2d/Matisse_-_Green_Line.jpeg this is a good example of fauvism because it is based on the intensely vivid expression non naturlistic colors and has a temporary phase that has many different styles.
Regan McComb http://www.hgd.com/gallery/pop_art/pop_art_07.jpg I think this picture is a good example of pop art because the artist incorporated small pictures of the covers of many music albums such as Bob Marley, Ben Harper, Paul Simon, Nirvana and many more. He used really vivid colors and along with the album colors he put in the faces of many people that were popular at the time. This piece is really interesting to look at and i think it's a good representation of Pop Art. This would appeal to many people because there are many famous characters and performers that everyone enjoys.
I chose pop art because i find the idea of a singular object so simple. Pop art is appealing to me because of the way it is expressed. it is in its rawest form and is so easy to identify. go to a grocery store and look at all the groupings of things, this shows the idea of pop art. a pop art picture is one thing that is focused on but it is usually group with other like items. the artist focuses on one singular piece.
The picture I choose was Severini's Armoured Train from the Futurism movement. This picture depicts the core values of Futurism with it's glorification of modern technology, dynamism and power. There is a rendering of movement with the geometric-like shapes framing the train, as well as a sense of power coming from the dark men and guns in the center of the otherwise lighter colored piece.

I like this picture because the more you look the more you see. It's very interesting and could be so many things. The is cubism because it depicts objects as hey are known rather than as they appear at a particular moment an place. It also has geometrical structures and color that is extremely subdued. It has elements such as stenciled lettering and pieces of newspaper were introduced into painting. I think it's so cool that they change the way it looks but you can still tell what it is.
So i was looking online while i was trying to find good pictures for my project. And i came across this photo of a cat. and i really like cats, and therefore i was very interested! This photo of this cat was in the form of cubism. it was very unique and slightly chopped up, therefore it took me some time to scan the photo and realize what it was.
This picture is a great example of Pop Art because it shows advertising but in a abstract commercialized way.It also is really colorful and looks like an advertisement for food.The way they place everything in the poster is also another technique used in pop art. One of the pictures is on it 3 times but a little bit different and they use food in the picture but change it a little bit. But I thought this was a very good picture i even like it just in general.
The picture that I like that hasn't been mentioned yet is from the Artistic Period: Surrealism and is called The Temptation of St. Antony by: Salvador Dali. It's a picture of a bunch of weird things like elephants and horses with very very long legs. There's also a random naked guy in the bottom left corner holding a cross. There are naked women on the elephants along with statues and houses. This is an example of Surrealism because all of this is going on as if it were someones dream in someones subconcious. None of the things in this painting are very possible and it suggest that it's a hallucinatory sense of reality. Link: http://www.jmthivel.com/autre_obj/dali/Salvador-Dali-Tentation.jpg
The painting by Bridget Riley titled Cataract 3 is a great example of Op art. I really liked Op art when I was reading the packet and this example shows a really great optical illusion. It includes subtle color and many wavy lines. This gives it the affect of movement because the lines are so close together. If you stare at it long enough it seems to change into something else. I like art that isn’t representational and is interesting to look at. Op art has these elements and also uses color. When looking at Cataract 3 the color seems to fade away into black and white. It is cool that art can be an immobile picture of lines that look like nothing, but then it also has the ability and transform in your mind.
I really like the Neo-Impressionism paintings. To me they just seem so talented to be able to do so many tiny dots and end up with a beautiful picture where the dots are not noticeable. The picture I chose is a portrait of Félix Fénéon and other than the dots I really like how different the background is because it is bright colors but with them together and the way they were displayed it doesn't seem so in your face it is actually quite a calming painting. The man is holding a flower out but your not sure to who so many different messages could be gotten from this painting and it is all up to interpretation.
The most interesting picture I have come across has been the Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali, a work from the Surrealist period. It features bizarre and irrational characteristics, and gives an almost shocking impression by portraying melting clocks on an ordinary background. This style makes the picture appear real while being out of touch with reality, which makes it seem like a snapshot from a dream. This effect was a central concept of Surrealism.
This is Beggar (Fisher Girl) by Ilya Repin. It is a piece of art that completely embodies the social realist movement. It is incredibly realistic, from the light to the background. Even the stitching on her clothing is incredibly detailed. It is a beautiful picture, but even with all of that beauty, the subject matter is still sad. Though the light is shining on this girl's face, her eyes are downcast in sadness.
The painting I chose was 'Madam Monet and Her Son' by Monet. Monet my favorite artist of all time and this painting is one of my favorites too. This shows the impressionistic period perfectly. The painting is like a wonderful snapshot on a beautiful sunny day. You can tell that this painting is impressionistic through the sketchy brushwork and does not convey an intense personal emotion.
Im not sure why this picture caught my attention but I really like it. Its from the Fauvism movement. The picture is by Matisse who was one of the major artists of this movement. The painting is titles Open Window colloire. I think its a good representation of the Fauvism movement because it used bright bolf colors; this was the main characturistic of the Fauvism movement. Also Fauvism was characturised by "flat composition" or when the paitings looked two dimencions. This picture looks like it is two dimensioned. The sail boats look like they are sitting in the window to me.
Andrew Kemis Period 6 Looking through and reading about all the syles and periods of art I have found that I most enjoy neo-impressionism. Just from looking online I think my favorite painting of this period would be A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The way the artist used small dots of color to paint a larger picture is amazing. It is said, althought I have never seen a true painting in the style, that if you stand close you would see just a smearing of color and undistinguishable images, however by standing back one is able to see the entire picture almost as clear as if it had been painted by strokes. It is this technique of painting I would really like to see up close.
This picture is the epitome of the neo-impressionism time period. This style uses the 'dot' technique where up close the picture is a bunch of dots placed colorfully and strategically, but when standing from afar, you can see the actual picture itself. the farther you, the better you can see the image.
So far with the pictures that i have found Dynasmism of a dog on a leash by Giacomo Balla describes Futrism very well to me. when i looked at it i right away knew that i was futurism because the artist was trying to portray the dog to make it look like it was walking. this is futurism because it captures movement, and it is capturing and object with in its process of continual change. this is also futurism because rending of motion during this age was a key concern with painters, and as you can tell from the picture the artist was trying to render the dogs motion when it was painted.
This painting is called Woman with a Parasol, by Monet. It's from the impressionistic movement. This painting is reperesentative of the impressionistic movvemnent for several reasons. One is the technique the painter used to create the image. You can see in the brushstrokes how much paint he used, and the fact that you can see the strokes is characteristic of this movement. Another impressionistic trait that this work shows is the use of light in the scene. The woman and her parasol are shown in shadow, but the boy in the background and the sky behind her are both extremely bright. The artist also uses an unusual angle (the viewer is below the woman) and adds an element of movement by making the grass sway and the lady's skirt swirl.
This is an example of Superrealism because it appears to be a photograph, but is actually a painting painted with exact, minute details that are evenly distributed over the entire painting. The subject matter is also impersonal, which is characteristic, but is also challenging because of the multitude of details.
This piece, “The Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dali, is one of the most recognizable Surrealist paintings. The work is made distinct by its inclusion of four clocks, three of which are melting in various positions. As if melting pocket watches weren’t surreal enough, there is a strange figure (known as “the monster”) laying on a blank landscape with a clock draped across it. The idea for the painting was found in a dream Dali had, a favorite inspiration for many Surrealist artists.
The crystal gate by Dale Chihuly is a good example of installation art. The artist produced a three dimensional glass art piece and permanently installed it at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. This piece is installation because of that fact - that it is permanently on display in something like a gallery.
This painting is called The Red Room and is made by Henri Matisse. It is made in Fauvism and is characteristic for this art period because the colors used are intense and non-naturalistic, meaning that they are painted in a different color than what would be considered natural. Big blobs of color are used in this painting, and most of it is red.

This is a good example of abstract art because it shows a degree of independence using visual references in the world. Also how the artist is interpreting these images in their own mind.
I really love a piece by Monet entitled Water Lilies & Japanese bridge 1899. Monet and impressionism have been my favorite since I was little. I want to so bad visit his garden in France and see his inspiration. I love his use of color that captures the moment. Another interesting fact is that as Monet aged he started to loose his vision and that is why most of his later works before his death has duller colors. I also loved how he painted the same scene in the different seasons.
The photo that I chose is from the surrealist period of art history and it is called "Fireside Angel" my Max Ernst. It has many elements of surrealist paintings such as the juxtapositions used, it takes many different elements that would not normally go together to create a creature. It uses parts of seemingly other animals or creatures, as well as abstract or distorted pieces to form the creature in the painting. It goes beyond the standard organization of images usually captured in paintings.
The art form that stuck out in my mind when i was researching all of the them was installation art. And i looked up a few pictures and found this one that was really cool to me. it works as installation art because it takes up the entire room and the audience participates in a way by watching in there and taking in all of the colors, lights and words. It also has every realm of sensory perception, it has lights, sounds and colors that all work together.
My favorite art period was Optical art. I loved the illusions that messed with your eyes. I specifically remeber the one painting with all the squaeres that look like there were folds in it. The painting is called Movement in Squares. It gives the illusion of movement and vibration of the pattern. If you look at it too long though, it could really hurt your eyes ha I know it did mine. http://images.worldgallery.co.uk/i/prints/rw/lg/7/7/Bridget-Riley-Movement-in-Squares--Silkscreen-print--7776.jpg
I thought this picture was a great example of Surrealism. The way the picture is painted it looks like a dream, and at the same time its kind of disturbing. There is a lot going on in this picture, and I think that works for some pieces of art, but in this picture there's a little bit too much going on, and its hard to find the focal point of this painting. However overall this painting is a great piece that supports the Surrealism style.
The picture i chose was from the pop art era. It a billboard that says coca cola on it, with a cop car sitting under it. Also says 5 cents. I picked this because i like how simple it is, and the older feeling it gives off. It's sort of cartoony, and it reminds me of old movies i use to watch. Coca cola is very popular, and has been around for a long time.
This picture is what I remember from Expressionism. Expressionism Artists painted unrealistic image of people and pictures. The colors of Expressionism shows mood of feeling and almost feeling of drawing is loneliness and sadness. I like Expressionism paintings because I like how Artists shows their feelings with their painting. Also I like to paint like Expressionism paintings.
the one period that i liked was the pop art..like andy warhol when he madew a picute of marylin monroe, it was the same picutre, but in all different colors each time. i liked it because he used vibrate colors in each, but like everyone loved it which i think is kinda dumb but if you can make money y drawing the same thing and no one seem to mind then more power to you.
The painting I chose is "Viaduct at L'Estaque" by George Barque. To me this painting is very intense just because of the way he did his brush strokes. The first thing that catches my eye in this piece is the viaduct at the top of the page. Below the viaduct are a bunch of houses in 3-D on a hillside which look very interesting. Altogether George Barque made a very eye catching piece, that I really like.
I chose "Cagney" by Andy Warhol, who was known for his work throughout the era of Pop Art. This is a silk screen done by Warhol. This represents Pop Art because the image looks most like a photograph, which is what much of Pop Art seems to be. Also the picture seems to be from a still of some famous movie, it looks like "Scarface" though it isn't. Because of it's movie quality and photography quality it represent pop culture, which is what Pop Art is based off of.
PS I didn't get to go to MoMA.. Sorry Shind.. BUT I did go into the Bookstore, which was just as good and I got a couple of postcards like you wanted.
The one picture that I like the most is the tomato soup picture from the Pop Art movement. The reason I like it so much is because my step dad has a large replica that he hung up in our kitchen when we moved in together, and i never understood the reason behind it until we started researching the second part of the art history curriculum. Now i can not only accept the painting and stop ridiculing him for his curious taste in art, but I can also educate him on the movement that the painting came from.
The picture I chose is an example of pop art.It reflects the pop art movement because it's a simple reproduction of a common object or character in this case. I find this movement to be very interesting because the art varies drastically and such simple ordinary objects can be reproduced into art.
michael haines period 4 the picture that i found was Monets painting called the garden.http://live.universal-collectibles.com/product_images02/38672-1.jpg it is a gorgeous painting and the main characteristic that tells you right away that it is an impressionist painting is that it has the obvious blotchy brush strokes that characterizes impresionist paintings.
The picture that i chose is from the art history period cubism, Still life with a white dish and the artist is Gino Severini. This piece of artwork can be looked at from different views and is during the cubism time period. It is also very geometric and just by looking at it you can tell it is cubism art.
The picture I chose is the one of the Irisis in Monet's Garden. This painting is very representative of Impressionism. Monet used many dabs of color to produce the painting. It portrays the light extremely well. He used colors we normally wouldn't see in real life to give that feeling of light. Though it is unrealistic, the painting has a very naturalistic sense to it.
the picture I chose was the painting call "Celebrations" by Stephanie Riechmann. This painting is great form of abstract art and has no real form to it. The painting has different colors and weird shapes. Although it looks like she tried to paint something there is no real shape or image.
The picture I like most is George Braque, "Woman with Guitar." The reason why this is a good example of cubism is that in the picture, Braque uses lots of squares of geometrics. And in the picture is some newspaper words.
This is not like the typical Optical Art that uses small black and white shapes to evoke a vibrating, pulsating, or flickering image. At first it just looks like a picture of a deer in a winter forest. However, when you look closer, you can see the small scale patterns in the trees to suggest an underlying secondary shape of another deer. This is typical of all Op art. There is always more to the image the closer or longer you look at it
This painting by Seurat called Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is a great representative of Neo Impressionism. If you look closely the picture uses pointillism. All the tiny points of different colors somewhat trick the eye into seeing another color. In this specific painting Seurat's use of line was to attain a unity of composition. Unlike Impressionism this painting is very geometric. Also the painting has no movement, it is like the scene is frozen in time.
This picture is a good example of the surrealist movement. The painting is called The Persistence of Time by Salvador Dali. Time is the theme, with the melting or limp like clocks, and ants on the clock implicating decay. That blob in the middle of the painting is an approximation of Dali's face. Dali painted with what he called "the most imperialist fury of precision," but only, he said, "to systematize confusion and thus to help discredit completely the world of reality."
This picture is called the Guitar player and is by Picasso. It represents cubism because of all the geometric shapes. The subject is represented by the surfaces being looked at, at different angles and then being put into geometrical shapes. It depicts ideas of the object rather than the actual object.
This picture represents cubism to the fullest. The painting displays geometric shapes and also is drawn from many different viewpoints. There is not one solo view that can be seen by this painting, but many different viewpoints are put together to show this picture. Also, this painting does not focus on color, but more the shapes. Later in this movement color was more celebrated, but this painting must be from the early movement.
I chose the well known painting titled, The Persistance of Memory, by Salvador Dali. In this picture clocks can be seen melting, taking on a drooping form. This work falls under the Surrealism art period. It displays the artist inner vision and something not visible in the real world.
Phillip Foshee period 6 http://robcubbon.com/images/rihanna-pop-art.gif I thought that this was a good example of pop art becasue it is a picture of riahna and she is a major person in todays music world. One of the reasons why i liked this picture is becuase it took a popular person from this time and made it simple, bright and brilyent. This is a good example of pop art becasue pop art is art that is popular at the time you are in and riahna is a good person becuase she has many popular albums out right now.
This painting is a perfect representation of the style of art called Fauvism. Fauvism is one of the more striking periods to me in the second part of art history. Though it was a short period it made a lasting impact. This painting features a bright purple tree in the midst of an intensely bright orange background. It was done by the artist Maryse Casol, and is called Musique des Sphères. This is an example of Fauvism because of the use of unnatural, vivid colors.
I know Waterhouse is not actually part of the brotherhood, and most of his paintings only vaguely represent the brotherhood's style, I feel this piece fits well. The first thing your drawn to look at is the girl lounging, then you see the sky with light/warm colors, then there are the flowers that seem to be part of her chair, and in amongst the flowers and at the girls feet are 2 leopards. The picture gives the emotions of contentedness and peace, the flowers are little accents to lighten the dark, and the cats could be there for no reason. It just seems to work.
Lacey Helmuth 4 I really like pop art because it's more simple and something that I can relate to because I probably see it on a daily basis. I liked the gum machine one because it was really basic and something that I see all the time but don't really pay attention to. Pop art is everyday life, just bigger and painted.
Salvador dali's "the persistance of memory" portrays surrealism quite well. It shows a lot of melting clocks like time is slowly drifting off like our memory does a lot. It persists to slowly dissolve away as if ants were eating away at time, shown by ants eating one of the clocks. It also relates to unconsious thoughts because when we are dreaming we have no perception of time only what we hunk it really is. And for all we know time is melting away slowly until their is no time left.

The one picture that I remember is the tomato soup picture from Pop Art. I liked the photo because it seemed so easy yet so complex. At first it was a simple idea but when I learned that their was a wall of all the tomato soups like at a store I really wanted to see it displayed. Pop art is described as Popular art at the time, tomato soup as been around for many years and I wonder when this idea came to the artist. With such a simple idea, I wonder what other things can be made into a art piece like the soup!

The painting I chose is "The Dream" by Salvador Dali from the surrealist period. In the image, a sleeping mans head is depicted as detached from the body and is being held up by posts in what appears to be the middle of a desert. Surrealist art is sometimes categorized by the irrational and disturbing and is said to be a product of the creative subconscious mind, something that supposedly can be accessed while in the dream state. This picture is especially surrealist because it deals directly with dreaming and sleep, as mentioned in the name, and exhibits complete irrationality in the scene.

The piece is 99 life-sized replicas of wolves flying in the air then being stopped by a piece of glass blocking there way. It is installion art because it is a big exhibit which has a huge image and it is only found in this one particular location. This piece has a very strong image and I think shows the intensity and emotion of Installation art.

I chose Banksy as a social realism artist. Although he is a graffiti artist, every piece of his sends a political or theological message across. The very fact that his art is graffiti in a British town that does not allow graffiti is a rebellion against the political system. In his piece about looters, He shows US soldiers looting a store instead of defending the people as they are supposed to, a piece aimed towards the soldiers in New Orleans, who are supposed to be helping flood victims but instead take advantage of the abandoned stores. It is supposed to remind us not to simply trust blindly and almost to mistrust the government. In another one of his pieces the Grey Ghost, he shows a graffiti person being wiped over by one of England's cleaners, who wipe off graffiti. Although many people view this as a good thing Banksy reminds people that there is more to graffiti art, that the cleaners are non-discriminatory in what they erase. Banksy shows emotion in the graffiti character, forcing a personal connection between the art and the viewer. He also pokes fun a t the government in this art, drawing a graffiti of their actions and leaving them no choice but to follow through with Banksy's predictions or make a contradiction.

The picture I chose to discuss comes from the surrealist period in time. Art of this era was characterized by a fascination with the bizarre, the incongruos, and the irrational. Surrealist art was closely related to Dada. The painting I chose to represent the surrealist movement was "Entre Les Trous De La Memoire by Dominique Appia." In english this translates to "between the holes of memory." I believe this painting represents surrealist art so well because it is very bizarre and requires much thought when interpreting its different traits. I believe this painting has a great deal of underlying information which can be found through creativity and does a great job portraying the themes and ideas of the surrealist time.

this picture done by Salvador Dali I think is a perfect representation of Surrealism because of how honestly, this would only happen in one's dreams. What goes on in this painting isn't real at all with the fact that there are horses and elephants with legs that are at least 100 feet long and just happen to be carrying a palance and a naked girl, who is you check the proportions she would have to be at least 5 times the size of a normal man. Also on the right side very faintly, it looks like there is a castle there but this one is floating on the darker cloud. Only someone dreaming would be able to think of these things that are in the painting

this is a good example of fauvism because it is based on the intensely vivid expression non naturlistic colors and has a temporary phase that has many different styles.

I think this picture is a good example of pop art because the artist incorporated small pictures of the covers of many music albums such as Bob Marley, Ben Harper, Paul Simon, Nirvana and many more. He used really vivid colors and along with the album colors he put in the faces of many people that were popular at the time. This piece is really interesting to look at and i think it's a good representation of Pop Art. This would appeal to many people because there are many famous characters and performers that everyone enjoys.

I chose pop art because i find the idea of a singular object so simple. Pop art is appealing to me because of the way it is expressed. it is in its rawest form and is so easy to identify. go to a grocery store and look at all the groupings of things, this shows the idea of pop art. a pop art picture is one thing that is focused on but it is usually group with other like items. the artist focuses on one singular piece.

The picture I choose was Severini's Armoured Train from the Futurism movement. This picture depicts the core values of Futurism with it's glorification of modern technology, dynamism and power. There is a rendering of movement with the geometric-like shapes framing the train, as well as a sense of power coming from the dark men and guns in the center of the otherwise lighter colored piece.

I like this picture because the more you look the more you see. It's very interesting and could be so many things. The is cubism because it depicts objects as hey are known rather than as they appear at a particular moment an place. It also has geometrical structures and color that is extremely subdued. It has elements such as stenciled lettering and pieces of newspaper were introduced into painting. I think it's so cool that they change the way it looks but you can still tell what it is.

So i was looking online while i was trying to find good pictures for my project. And i came across this photo of a cat. and i really like cats, and therefore i was very interested! This photo of this cat was in the form of cubism. it was very unique and slightly chopped up, therefore it took me some time to scan the photo and realize what it was.

This picture is a great example of Pop Art because it shows advertising but in a abstract commercialized way.It also is really colorful and looks like an advertisement for food.The way they place everything in the poster is also another technique used in pop art. One of the pictures is on it 3 times but a little bit different and they use food in the picture but change it a little bit. But I thought this was a very good picture i even like it just in general.

The picture that I like that hasn't been mentioned yet is from the Artistic Period: Surrealism and is called The Temptation of St. Antony by: Salvador Dali. It's a picture of a bunch of weird things like elephants and horses with very very long legs. There's also a random naked guy in the bottom left corner holding a cross. There are naked women on the elephants along with statues and houses. This is an example of Surrealism because all of this is going on as if it were someones dream in someones subconcious. None of the things in this painting are very possible and it suggest that it's a hallucinatory sense of reality. Link: http://www.jmthivel.com/autre_obj/dali/Salvador-Dali-Tentation.jpg

The painting by Bridget Riley titled Cataract 3 is a great example of Op art. I really liked Op art when I was reading the packet and this example shows a really great optical illusion. It includes subtle color and many wavy lines. This gives it the affect of movement because the lines are so close together. If you stare at it long enough it seems to change into something else. I like art that isn’t representational and is interesting to look at. Op art has these elements and also uses color. When looking at Cataract 3 the color seems to fade away into black and white. It is cool that art can be an immobile picture of lines that look like nothing, but then it also has the ability and transform in your mind.

I really like the Neo-Impressionism paintings. To me they just seem so talented to be able to do so many tiny dots and end up with a beautiful picture where the dots are not noticeable. The picture I chose is a portrait of Félix Fénéon and other than the dots I really like how different the background is because it is bright colors but with them together and the way they were displayed it doesn't seem so in your face it is actually quite a calming painting. The man is holding a flower out but your not sure to who so many different messages could be gotten from this painting and it is all up to interpretation.

The most interesting picture I have come across has been the Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali, a work from the Surrealist period. It features bizarre and irrational characteristics, and gives an almost shocking impression by portraying melting clocks on an ordinary background. This style makes the picture appear real while being out of touch with reality, which makes it seem like a snapshot from a dream. This effect was a central concept of Surrealism.

This is Beggar (Fisher Girl) by Ilya Repin. It is a piece of art that completely embodies the social realist movement. It is incredibly realistic, from the light to the background. Even the stitching on her clothing is incredibly detailed. It is a beautiful picture, but even with all of that beauty, the subject matter is still sad. Though the light is shining on this girl's face, her eyes are downcast in sadness.

The painting I chose was 'Madam Monet and Her Son' by Monet. Monet my favorite artist of all time and this painting is one of my favorites too. This shows the impressionistic period perfectly. The painting is like a wonderful snapshot on a beautiful sunny day. You can tell that this painting is impressionistic through the sketchy brushwork and does not convey an intense personal emotion.

Im not sure why this picture caught my attention but I really like it. Its from the Fauvism movement. The picture is by Matisse who was one of the major artists of this movement. The painting is titles Open Window colloire. I think its a good representation of the Fauvism movement because it used bright bolf colors; this was the main characturistic of the Fauvism movement. Also Fauvism was characturised by "flat composition" or when the paitings looked two dimencions. This picture looks like it is two dimensioned. The sail boats look like they are sitting in the window to me.
Andrew Kemis Period 6
Looking through and reading about all the syles and periods of art I have found that I most enjoy neo-impressionism. Just from looking online I think my favorite painting of this period would be A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. The way the artist used small dots of color to paint a larger picture is amazing. It is said, althought I have never seen a true painting in the style, that if you stand close you would see just a smearing of color and undistinguishable images, however by standing back one is able to see the entire picture almost as clear as if it had been painted by strokes. It is this technique of painting I would really like to see up close.

This picture is the epitome of the neo-impressionism time period. This style uses the 'dot' technique where up close the picture is a bunch of dots placed colorfully and strategically, but when standing from afar, you can see the actual picture itself. the farther you, the better you can see the image.
andy wolfe per 2
So far with the pictures that i have found Dynasmism of a dog on a leash by Giacomo Balla describes Futrism very well to me. when i looked at it i right away knew that i was futurism because the artist was trying to portray the dog to make it look like it was walking. this is futurism because it captures movement, and it is capturing and object with in its process of continual change. this is also futurism because rending of motion during this age was a key concern with painters, and as you can tell from the picture the artist was trying to render the dogs motion when it was painted.

This painting is called Woman with a Parasol, by Monet. It's from the impressionistic movement. This painting is reperesentative of the impressionistic movvemnent for several reasons. One is the technique the painter used to create the image. You can see in the brushstrokes how much paint he used, and the fact that you can see the strokes is characteristic of this movement. Another impressionistic trait that this work shows is the use of light in the scene. The woman and her parasol are shown in shadow, but the boy in the background and the sky behind her are both extremely bright. The artist also uses an unusual angle (the viewer is below the woman) and adds an element of movement by making the grass sway and the lady's skirt swirl.
Jessica Karr, p.4
http://www.buy-original-art.com/images/styles/photorealism.jpg
This is an example of Superrealism because it appears to be a photograph, but is actually a painting painted with exact, minute details that are evenly distributed over the entire painting. The subject matter is also impersonal, which is characteristic, but is also challenging because of the multitude of details.

/the_persistence_of_memory_1931_salvador_dali.jpg
This piece, “The Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dali, is one of the most recognizable Surrealist paintings. The work is made distinct by its inclusion of four clocks, three of which are melting in various positions. As if melting pocket watches weren’t surreal enough, there is a strange figure (known as “the monster”) laying on a blank landscape with a clock draped across it. The idea for the painting was found in a dream Dali had, a favorite inspiration for many Surrealist artists.

The crystal gate by Dale Chihuly is a good example of installation art. The artist produced a three dimensional glass art piece and permanently installed it at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. This piece is installation because of that fact - that it is permanently on display in something like a gallery.

This painting is called The Red Room and is made by Henri Matisse. It is made in Fauvism and is characteristic for this art period because the colors used are intense and non-naturalistic, meaning that they are painted in a different color than what would be considered natural. Big blobs of color are used in this painting, and most of it is red.

This is a good example of abstract art because it shows a degree of independence using visual references in the world. Also how the artist is interpreting these images in their own mind.

I really love a piece by Monet entitled Water Lilies & Japanese bridge 1899. Monet and impressionism have been my favorite since I was little. I want to so bad visit his garden in France and see his inspiration. I love his use of color that captures the moment. Another interesting fact is that as Monet aged he started to loose his vision and that is why most of his later works before his death has duller colors. I also loved how he painted the same scene in the different seasons.

The photo that I chose is from the surrealist period of art history and it is called "Fireside Angel" my Max Ernst. It has many elements of surrealist paintings such as the juxtapositions used, it takes many different elements that would not normally go together to create a creature. It uses parts of seemingly other animals or creatures, as well as abstract or distorted pieces to form the creature in the painting. It goes beyond the standard organization of images usually captured in paintings.

The art form that stuck out in my mind when i was researching all of the them was installation art. And i looked up a few pictures and found this one that was really cool to me. it works as installation art because it takes up the entire room and the audience participates in a way by watching in there and taking in all of the colors, lights and words. It also has every realm of sensory perception, it has lights, sounds and colors that all work together.

My favorite art period was Optical art. I loved the illusions that messed with your eyes. I specifically remeber the one painting with all the squaeres that look like there were folds in it.

I thought this picture was a great example of Surrealism. The way the picture is painted it looks like a dream, and at the same time its kind of disturbing. There is a lot going on in this picture, and I think that works for some pieces of art, but in this picture there's a little bit too much going on, and its hard to find the focal point of this painting. However overall this painting is a great piece that supports the Surrealism style.

The colors of Expressionism shows mood of feeling and almost feeling of drawing is loneliness and sadness. I like Expressionism paintings because I like how Artists shows their feelings with their painting. Also I like to paint like Expressionism paintings.

Altogether George Barque made a very eye catching piece, that I really like.

I chose "Cagney" by Andy Warhol, who was known for his work throughout the era of Pop Art. This is a silk screen done by Warhol. This represents Pop Art because the image looks most like a photograph, which is what much of Pop Art seems to be. Also the picture seems to be from a still of some famous movie, it looks like "Scarface" though it isn't. Because of it's movie quality and photography quality it represent pop culture, which is what Pop Art is based off of.
PS I didn't get to go to MoMA.. Sorry Shind.. BUT I did go into the Bookstore, which was just as good and I got a couple of postcards like you wanted.

The one picture that I like the most is the tomato soup picture from the Pop Art movement. The reason I like it so much is because my step dad has a large replica that he hung up in our kitchen when we moved in together, and i never understood the reason behind it until we started researching the second part of the art history curriculum. Now i can not only accept the painting and stop ridiculing him for his curious taste in art, but I can also educate him on the movement that the painting came from.

the picture that i found was Monets painting called the garden.http://live.universal-collectibles.com/product_images02/38672-1.jpg

The picture I chose is the one of the Irisis in Monet's Garden. This painting is very representative of Impressionism. Monet used many dabs of color to produce the painting. It portrays the light extremely well. He used colors we normally wouldn't see in real life to give that feeling of light. Though it is unrealistic, the painting has a very naturalistic sense to it.

This is not like the typical Optical Art that uses small black and white shapes to evoke a vibrating, pulsating, or flickering image. At first it just looks like a picture of a deer in a winter forest. However, when you look closer, you can see the small scale patterns in the trees to suggest an underlying secondary shape of another deer. This is typical of all Op art. There is always more to the image the closer or longer you look at it

This painting by Seurat called Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is a great representative of Neo Impressionism. If you look closely the picture uses pointillism. All the tiny points of different colors somewhat trick the eye into seeing another color. In this specific painting Seurat's use of line was to attain a unity of composition. Unlike Impressionism this painting is very geometric. Also the painting has no movement, it is like the scene is frozen in time.

This picture is a good example of the surrealist movement. The painting is called The Persistence of Time by Salvador Dali. Time is the theme, with the melting or limp like clocks, and ants on the clock implicating decay. That blob in the middle of the painting is an approximation of Dali's face. Dali painted with what he called "the most imperialist fury of precision," but only, he said, "to systematize confusion and thus to help discredit completely the world of reality."

This picture is called the Guitar player and is by Picasso. It represents cubism because of all the geometric shapes.

This picture represents cubism to the fullest. The painting displays geometric shapes and also is drawn from many different viewpoints. There is not one solo view that can be seen by this painting, but many different viewpoints are put together to show this picture. Also, this painting does not focus on color, but more the shapes. Later in this movement color was more celebrated, but this painting must be from the early movement.
I chose the well known painting titled, The Persistance of Memory, by Salvador Dali. In this picture clocks can be seen melting, taking on a drooping form. This work falls under the Surrealism art period. It displays the artist inner vision and something not visible in the real world.

One of the reasons why i liked this picture is becuase it took a popular person from this time and made it simple, bright and brilyent.

This painting is a perfect representation of the style of art called Fauvism. Fauvism is one of the more striking periods to me in the second part of art history. Though it was a short period it made a lasting impact. This painting features a bright purple tree in the midst of an intensely bright orange background. It was done by the artist Maryse Casol, and is called Musique des Sphères. This is an example of Fauvism because of the use of unnatural, vivid colors.

Ariadne by John W. Waterhouse
I know Waterhouse is not actually part of the brotherhood, and most of his paintings only vaguely represent the brotherhood's style, I feel this piece fits well. The first thing your drawn to look at is the girl lounging, then you see the sky with light/warm colors, then there are the flowers that seem to be part of her chair, and in amongst the flowers and at the girls feet are 2 leopards. The picture gives the emotions of contentedness and peace, the flowers are little accents to lighten the dark, and the cats could be there for no reason. It just seems to work.

I really like pop art because it's more simple and something that I can relate to because I probably see it on a daily basis. I liked the gum machine one because it was really basic and something that I see all the time but don't really pay attention to. Pop art is everyday life, just bigger and painted.

Salvador dali's "the persistance of memory" portrays surrealism quite well. It shows a lot of melting clocks like time is slowly drifting off like our memory does a lot. It persists to slowly dissolve away as if ants were eating away at time, shown by ants eating one of the clocks. It also relates to unconsious thoughts because when we are dreaming we have no perception of time only what we hunk it really is. And for all we know time is melting away slowly until their is no time left.
