In the Omnibus, c. 1890/1 Woman Bathing, c. 1890/1 Mary Cassatt (1844-1926)

Cassatt is best-known for her paintings, but I find her prints to be more charming, personally. These two are a couple of my favorites, but it's worth checking out this article by the National Gallery of the United States on some of her other color prints.

I'm thinking about Stanley's sketchbook again, and can you IMAGINE how art movements at the time could have affected his art??? I'm not exactly an art history expert but from what I remember, Pop Art was only just going out of style during the 1970-somethings, when people started to look more towards Neo-Impressionism late 1970- early 1980s, and good LORD that was a whole thing /pos

Idk how he would have even seen the art movement?? I'm not sure how art was distributed to the public back then, especially from the point of view of homeless people. Could they have been displayed on storefront windows or newspapers, or were they a NYC SoHo art scene exclusive thing? Idk!! But the thought of Stan experimenting with his style is gnawing at my brain!!!!

Found a cool color palette. Might finish it later. (Probably not.)

Me when I was a teenager first taking art: these 'art history' people are so pretentious, they're just old paintings they can't be that interesting

Me now when someone mentions art history:

My Top 5 Painters 3/5 - Claude Monet

Monet has been described as the driving force behind Impressionism. Crucial to the art of the Impressionist painters was the understanding of the effects of light on the local colour of objects, and the effects of the juxtaposition of colours with each other. His free flowing style and use of colour have been described as almost etheral and the epitome of impressionist style

An ‘Ism’ Overview - Pointillism vs. Impressionism

Pointillism and Impressionism are two important artistic movements that emerged in France in the late 19th century. While both movements sought to capture the fleeting beauty of the natural world, they differ significantly in their techniques, styles, and aims. In this essay, I will explore the similarities and differences between these two movements, focusing on their origins, methods, and outcomes.

Impressionism emerged in the 1860s as a reaction against the academic style of painting that dominated the French art establishment. Led by artists such as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, the Impressionists sought to capture the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere in their paintings. They used loose brushstrokes and bright, vivid colours to create an impression of the world around them. The aim of the Impressionists was not to create a realistic representation of the world but to capture its fleeting beauty and transience.

Pointillism, on the other hand, emerged in the 1880s as a response to Impressionism. The technique was developed by Georges Seurat, who believed that painting should be based on scientific principles. He believed that the eye could blend small dots of colour together to create a more luminous effect than if the colours were mixed together on the palette. Seurat's technique involved using small dots of pure color, called points, arranged in a systematic way to create a sense of form and depth. Unlike the Impressionists, who used loose brushstrokes and blended colours, the Pointillists used small, discrete dots of colour that were carefully arranged to create a precise effect.

One of the key differences between Impressionism and Pointillism is their approach to colour. Impressionists used bold, vivid colours to create an impression of the natural world, while Pointillists used a more scientific approach to colour, using small dots of pure colour that were carefully arranged to create a more luminous effect. Another difference is their approach to form. Impressionists used loose brushstrokes and blurred edges to create a sense of movement and transience, while Pointillists used precise dots of colour to create a sense of form and depth.

Despite these differences, both Impressionism and Pointillism sought to capture the fleeting beauty of the natural world. Both movements were concerned with capturing the effects of light and atmosphere, and both sought to create a sense of movement and energy in their paintings. However, while Impressionism was concerned with creating an impression of the natural world, Pointillism was more concerned with creating a precise, scientific representation of the world.

In conclusion, while Impressionism and Pointillism are two distinct artistic movements, they share a common interest in capturing the fleeting beauty of the natural world. While Impressionists sought to create an impression of the world using loose brushstrokes and vivid colours, Pointillists used a more scientific approach, using small dots of pure colour arranged in a systematic way. Despite their differences, both movements made important contributions to the development of modern art, and their influence can still be seen in the work of contemporary artists today.

Is it just me or do new-engine video games feel like they're getting worse rather than better. Like yeah the textures and physics and FX themselves are improved, but at the same time why does it feel like I'm playing a game from 2001. Something's wrong here.

Art Movements Assignment | Bald Eagle

September 9, 2022 - September 16, 2022

I spent so long working on this assignment at the beginning of the semester that my parents got concerned about me taking art when i should be studying to master my other classes 💀💔

Gr12 assignment where our teacher told us to all bring a random object to school (for unknown reasons), and then revealed that we're doing a project where we have to draw that object multiple times using 3 art movement styles.

Bottom-up the movements are:

German Expressionism

Cubism

Impressionism

Had a lot of fun making this. The german expressionism was a hoot, but I just love using inks. I hated doing the impressionism one, though. I just didn't like how it was turning out/turned out, and me and my teacher agree that it's not really an impressionistic style. They be using colours in crazy ways that I hadn't unlocked at the time.
