Art History

Medieval art was mostly focused on portraying Religion; they focused on bringing out the concepts/morals of Christianity, not at all focused on creating realistic figures.

The Renaissance means the rebirth, in this case the "rebirth of Classical Greek/Roman art" which focused intently on realism. Religion was not a major factor, whereas the artists' intent was not to show/bring out morals values of a particular religion. Art techniques were also revived, especially the Classical type of artwork/sculpture of a particular figure or painting, which seemed lost during the art of the Medieval.

Pointillism is a style of painting in which small distinct dots of color create the impression of a wide selection of other colors and blending. The dots of color make an image when viewed from a further distance

The great majority of John Constables paintings were landscapes, many showing the countryside of the area where he was born and grew up, on the border between the counties of Essex and Suffolk in eastern England. Besides painting in some other regions of England, he painted some landscapes in which buildings are important, and did a few portraits and a handful of other subjects. In his sketches there are studies of a wide range of landscape elements, including animals. His sketches of clouds are often admired.

The vase has three registers - or tiers - of carving. The bottom register depicts the vegetation in the Tigris and Euphrates delta, such as the natural reeds and cultivated grain. Above this vegetation is a procession of animals, such as oxen and sheep presented in a strict profile view. The procession continues in the second register with nude males carrying bowls and jars of sacrificial elements, such as fruit and grain. The top register is a full scene, rather than a continuous pattern. In this register, the procession ends at the temple area. Inanna, one of the chief goddesses of Mesopotamia and later known as Ishtar in the Akkadian pantheon, stands, signified by two bundles of reeds behind her. She is being offered a bowl of fruit and grain by a nude figure. A figure in ceremonial clothing - presumably a chieftain/priest - stands nearby with the procession approaching him from behind.[1]

In short, perception is how you see the world around you.

it specifically involves how you view the people around you, and what you think the implications are about certain personal events that involve you and others in your life.

It affects interpersonal abilities, such as our abilities to relate or at least understand others on some level.

At the same time, impairment in perception can be due to a psychological illness or a prolonged attitude towards others that is caused by something that has happened in his/her past experience.

or: Les Fauves (French for The Wild Beasts) were a short-lived and loose grouping of early 20th century Modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While Fauvism as a style began around 1900 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only three years, 1905-1907, and had three exhibitions.

Aerial perspective is a method in painting of suggesting the effects that distance have on color due to the way light is changed as it passes through air.

Colors are lowered in chroma (made less colorful), usually raised in value (made lighter) and shifted toward blue (because of the atmosphere's tendency to scatter blue wavelengths of light more than others, the same effect that makes the sky blue). Also, distant objects tend to appear less distinct and detailed than foreground objects.

Atmospheric perspective is exaggerated by high humidity, mist or fog. Its effects are diminished by crisp, clear air, such as that found in the mountains, leading some artists to artificially exaggerate the effect in mountain scenes so they look more "realistic", even if they are less true to what was actually observed.

He helped invent Cubism and collage. He revolutionized the concept of constructed sculpture. The new techniques he brought to his graphic works and ceramic works changed the course of both art forms for the rest of the century.

Neoclassicism

After the Baroque period came the Classical period, which included Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, who became a bridge to the Romantic period. In the beginning of the 20th century some composers consciously adopted styles and techniques from the Classical period. This looking-back was called neoclassicism, or new classicism.

Op Art wasn't specifically 'invented' anywhere although the origins are European. Two of the pioneers in Op Art were Victor Vasarely (considered to be the father of Op Art) who was Hungarian, although he lived for most of his working life in Paris. The other main exponent was Bridget Riley who worked from her studio in London. You can find out more about both of these people in wikipedia or op-art.co.uk

Well abstract art is not a particular way of painting and not pertaining to a period in time. It means the same as non-figurative, i.e. a work which does not have a subject, but is only about shape and color. So any kind of material and technique can be used for making abstract art.

The figures were not as detailed. The whole piece was completed in variously colored points, so pieces must be seen from a distance. Georges Seurat was the initiator.

The difference is in the approach. Non Western psychology believes in being interconnected and holistic in healing. Western psychology believes in the individual and uniqueness. Non western psychology believes in being apart of a group and the harmony within that group.

Superficially, Arts and Crafts is floral patterned wallpaper, Art Nouveau is posters of wimmen with flowers in their hair.

Arts and Crafts developed in England in the 1860s. Art Nouveau arose in the Belle Epoque of the 1890s in Paris, Munich (Jugendstil), and Wiener (Sezession). Art Nouveau is a rejection of the European Academic Style. They are both decorative, influenced by medieval, pre-Raphaelite, art and have a ton of vines going on, but one is primarily a decorative arts movement about *how* things are made (A&C), and the other is an art movement about *what* is made (AN). They can both be understood as reactions to the Industrial Revolution.
