Blog # 9 Contemporary Art

Oh yes, our group's report. 
The last among the rest. Well, we've waited for this time to reach this kind of era.
And yes, yes, yes. Yes. What can I say about it?


The Contemporary Art has something to do about the Full characteristics and combination of inspiration and progressions from the different eras. I called it the Contemporary Art bubble. It's like when you're making bubbles, it's kind of addictive when you blow and create bubbles from a child's toy, and you keep on doing it and doing it because it bedazzles you, it is fun.

Artists in this era emerged, and there are plenty of US today, but has different styles portrayed.

Contemporary Art started from 1960s until today, this very minute. Two unique style was created, the Postmodern and Postmodernism that popped up, we must assume, that the Art World had its fill of Modern Art too. Addition to that, according to my external researches, the outline of Modern Art and the contemporary Art portrays far more entries on the former page. Contemporary Art enjoys far more working artists making far more art. They mostly work on "movements" that cannot be classified. While it may be hard to classify emergent movements, artists in this era, or today, is much more socially conscious tan any previous era. Mostly arts are connected with an issue or another such as: Feminism, Multiculturalism, Globalization, Bio-Engineering and others, all come readily to mind as subject matter. Right?

Pretty much I wanted to say that contemporary art is my favorite era, basically that is the only thing I wanted to say. It's because, first, I kind of reported this era, second, I'm into it, third, the he**, I'm living it.

Futurism? It's YOU.

Blog # 8 The 20th Century

I kind of like the 20th Century art, because of the fact that Abstractionism is made through as an introduction for this era. Mostly styles of art was reinforced and provided a unique way of creating techniques of their predecessor. Expressionism from the Modern Art has made a better interpretation using lines and colors as their subject matter. Distortions of image is what they showcase most, providing a very abstract-y images that will make you think out of their artworks, but portrays an outstanding art, what intrigues me the most is that, how did they come up with such image, and I imagine their faces when they are on the progress of finishing the output, and how they come up with such imagery. 

What I love about this era, they exemplifies a unique style of Surrealism, which means Beyond the real, the Dream-like state of a art that "wows" me much. I usually ask myself, "How did they do that?" "Can I do that too?". Like too much! It bumped me and what I learned from it, is to free your mind from it, concentrate on your artwork, bedazzle yourself from things, memories, and use your imagination as an artist, distorted depictions of a particular subject or an object, combination of environment. 

Wow. Oh did I just said wow?

This kind of artworks is one of the greatest influence today, the progression of it. It really is inspiring.

Blog # 7 Arts beyond the West

Base on my observations and facts from my co-researchers about the Arts beyond the West, they say that this era depends and base their artworks from the prehistoric as a foundation. 

Every country has its own image and unique style of their arts that may or really is showing the icon or the right image for their nation. What intrigues me the most is that Chinese has created many of Kitchen Wares for their King's use. These are different kind of vessels made up from different elements. The Japanese has created outstanding artworks that reminds me of the different compositions as a photographer, such that they exemplify the Rules of thirds, the Golden Rule and such. 

While the Africans and Indians artworks showcases artworks that symbolizes Religious belief. Masks, sculptures, are kind of disturbing but then again, an inspiration for different eras.

Blog # 6 Modern Art

In modern art, artists start as the Impressionists. Different styles and events are created and formed such as: Romanticism; Realism; Daguerre's announcement and that he had invented a method for making a direct positive image; Such writer, Baudelaire that called upon artists to "be of their time"; and yes, the Impressionists; The Tonalism, The Post Impressionism and some like a Neo-Impressionism.

This is kind of puzzling at start, which one is right? An art? There's nothing wrong with it, none of them are wrong. It's basically that Moder Art began in the 19th century and have created different styles until 1960s.

Regardless of chosen starting date, the factor is that Modern Art means: "The point at which artists (1) felt free to trust their inner visions, (2) express those visions in their work, (3) use Real Life (social issues and images from modern life) as a source of subject matter and (4) experiment and innovate as often as possible." 

Art is kind of messy that way. It's often easier to make it, than to try to explainit - and making it can be about as easy as childbirth, some days. But that's Modern Art (and Modern Life) for you. Say, now that you're positive of the meaning, why not go have some fun poking around in all of those delicious "-isms"?
