The relationship between the arts and the growing body of scientific knowledge is still evolving to this day. Imagination is the foundation of creation. While beliefs are influenced by theory, art serves as the medium to illustrate the thoughts that build out innovation. The three stylistic periods, Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo, made major contributions and influenced the way that the art world contributed and evolved in society. The Renaissance started in the fourteenth century, when Italian scholars and writers, calling themselves humanists, searched for knowledge. Humanists believed that people are rational beings and that the individual was valuable. Focus shifted from traditional scholastic training of theology to broader …show more content…
The style originated in Italy and expanded into northern Europe. Baroque, in literal context, means “irregular pearl”. This period was influenced and defined by the Catholic pomp to show the religious tensions that existed as the church tried to reassert itself during Protestant reformation. Baroque art was known for its large scale dramatic religious public artworks displayed in palaces and churches. (Cultural Expressions) The Baroque era introduced scientific innovation into their artworks. The concept of open space was incorporated to create the illusion of motion.

The style originated in Paris and expanded into Germany and Austria. “Rococo is derived from the French word, rocaille which denoted the shell covered rock work that was used to decorate grottoes.” (Rococo Style) The design of this style was known for its ' delicacy and playfulness. The influence of the French included lighter design elements with natural patterns and curves. It was a clear departure of the spiritual foundation found in the Baroque era to the natural pastoral landscape of aristocratic couples. Scientific innovation in this period is seen within the natural interpretations within the artworks. A work of art that reflects the Rococo era is: Cupid a Captive, painted by François Boucher exemplifies the essence of Rococo art. Playful with a natural landscape. The images are bright and colorful. The surrounding areas are dark, creating a contrast that enabled a multi dimensional pop up to the images in the painting. This scientific innovation developed a powerful view of independence for the scene portrayed. (Cupid a Captive) In conclusion, art is influenced by the beliefs that society develops during the specific time period. Art is a powerful medium of delivering imagination and personal expression of the beliefs within of a moment in time.

The renaissance was a period of art, education, and a change in the way humans looked at mankind. How did the renaissance change man 's view of a man? Well that is called humanism. Humanism is a movement that focuses on the beauty and intelligence of an individual. Humanism influenced people during the Renaissance in at least two ways such as education and the way we taught about each other.
Not only did Enlightenment change the way individuals thought, but it changed the way artwork was produced. Neoclassicism resulted from this new era of intellect and challenged artists to include these new themes and styles into their artworks. Some of the most famous artists during this time period included; Joseph Wright Derby, Jaques-Louis David, and Angelica Kauffman (Kleiner 771). Before the Enlightenment period, the primary artistic style was Rocco. The Rococo art style included aristocratic idealism, elaborate ornamentation, dramatic
With the focus on education, humanist ideas overall were able to provide starting ideas to shape modern art and education. To put in other words, numerous changes were made during the Renaissance. Undoubtedly the massive number of changes made cause people
We all continue to live in a world surrounded by varyng forms of art, music, painting, literature, and all these are results of creative human activity in which materials are formed to show an idea or a thought of communication. I believe arts are meant to aid in understanding our past, describe the present and predict the future. “The Weather Project” by Olafur Eliasson managed to create an interesting presentation of the weather. The exposition seems to initiate an impressive tension between the city and nature. The room is encircled in natural elements sun, mist, light and by introducing these natural elements Ellison seems to persuade viewers to entirely appear themselve in the space and the exhibition.
Chapter 17 Assignment #2 (Ryan Cho) 17.2 Rococo, Neoclassicism, J.L. David, Classical Music, concerto, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Carnival. 1) Rococo. Although the Baroque and Neoclassical styles that had dominated the seventeenth century continued into the eighteenth century, by the 1730’s a new style known as Rococo began to influence and spread decoration and architecture all over Europe. Rococo art emphasized grace and gentle action. Rococo rejected strict geometrical patterns and had a fondness for curves, it liked to follow the wandering lines of natural objects, such as seashells and flowers.
As Europe exited the Middle Ages, an era known as the Renaissance began, which was the most influential period of European history, and the effects of this era can still be felt today. The Renaissance, which is French for “rebirth,” was a period of prosperity and cultural revival in Europe. As feudalism broke down and learning spread, the main topics strayed away from religion to other ideals. The Renaissance notably changed man’s perspective of both himself and the world around him. As education became more accessible during the Renaissance, people’s lives began to stop revolving around religion, and instead focused on art, literature, and science.
The Italian Renaissance was the spread of individual ideas. Renaissance also means rebirth, This was during the late 1400’s and early 1500’s, after the black death. The Renaissance was located in the Mediterranean Sea. The Renaissance emphasized individual achievements and made
These Baroque elements are so engrained in the system of patronage that even outside the Baroque era when an artist is commissioned through the patronage system their work can’t help but take on these and other baroque elements. Starting with an artist like Bernini who under the patronage system created some of the most revered sculptures of the baroque era. Born in Naples, Italy Bernini got a lot of his patronage form Italians. One of his more notable patronages includes the sculpture of “The Ecstasy of St. Teresa” which was commission by the Cornaro family for their personal chapel. The sculpture represents a deeply religious act and was used in part to show off the wealth of the Conaro family.
What exactly was the Renaissance? Well I’m glad you asked, the Renaissance was technically a ‘’rebirth’’ or ‘’revival’’ of art and literature, as some people would describe it as, and it had started in Europe around the year of 1400 and had lasted until about the 1700s. The Renaissance was a time of intellectual excitement, when art and literature blossomed and groundbreaking scientific advances were being made. During this period of time large parts of scientific and cultural advances were beginning to develop, and people were beginning to see themselves in a new way. The Renaissance changed man’s view of man in at least four areas: Art, Astronomy, Literature, and last but not least Human Anatomy.

The Lamentation vs The Deposition Art is a practice that is constantly evolving around the world. Art practices during the Renaissance in Italy and in Northern Europe depict similar themes, but artists express their understanding of narratives differently. Giotto di Bondone, an artist during the Renaissance in Italy, and Rogier van der Weyden, an artist during the Renaissance in Northern Europe, depict the crucifixion of Christ in two similar, yet distinct manners. Giotto created The Lamentation in 1305 and van der Weyden created The Deposition in 1435. The strategies each artist uses in their work highlight the important factors that influenced artists in each region.

The Baroque period on the other hand, spanning 150 years from the beginning of the 1600s to 1750, was divided into three parts: The Early Baroque period, The Middle Baroque period and The Late Baroque period. While these two eras start right after each other, there are a lot of differences between them, this shows how much music can evolve through time. There are many similarities and differences in characteristics between the two periods. They’re both very similar in texture, in that they’re both polyphonic. Although sometimes homophonic textures are also used in both eras.
