Discussion and Learning

Today we tackle about Art in Early Civilization. Stone Age is a term used to describe
a period of history when stones were used to make tools for survival. In order to talk about
prehistoric art, there is a need to situate them within a context of the three periods of the
Stone Age culture: The Paleolithic, Mesolithic and the Neolithic. Talking about Egyptian
civilization, it is divided into three; the Old, Middle, and New. Ancient Egyptian art refers art
produced in ancient Egypt between the 31st century BC and the 4th century AD. It includes
paintings, sculptures, drawing on papyrus, faience, jewelry, ivories, architecture, and other art
media. It is also very conservative: the art style changed very little over time. Much of the
surviving art comes from tombs and monuments, giving more insight into the Egyptians'
belief of the afterlife.
The Ancient Egyptian language had no word for "art". Artworks served an essentially
functional purpose that was bound with religion and ideology. To render a subject in art was
to give it permanence. Hence, ancient Egyptian art portrayed an idealized, unrealistic view of
the world. There was no tradition of individual artistic expression since art served a wider and
cosmic purpose of maintaining order.
Today with my group, we are discussing our topic through online via messenger in Art in
Early Civilization. I thank God because our instructor didn’t comment any negative words
regarding to our topic. After our discussion, I am doing my lesson plan about T-shirt printing
in PCK 7.

Discussion and Learning

Today is the continuation of our topic on Art in Early Civilization. The reporter Mr. Pelandas
discuss about King Tutankhamun, colloquially known as King Tut, was the 12th pharaoh of
the 18th Egyptian dynasty, in power from approximately 1332 to 1323 B.C.E. During his
reign, Tutankhamun accomplished little. However, his powerful advisers restored the
traditional Egyptian religion, which had been set aside by his father, Akhenaten, who led the
"Amarna Revolution." After his death at age 19, King Tut disappeared from history until the
discovery of his tomb in 1922. Since then, studies of his tomb and remains have revealed
much information about his life and times, making Tutankhamun one of the best known
ancient Egyptian kings. He discussed also about Queen Nefertiti, whose name means "a
beautiful woman has come," was the queen of Egypt and wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten during
the 14th century B.C. She and her husband established the cult of Aten, the sun god, and
promoted Egyptian artwork that was radically different from its predecessors. A bust of
Nefertiti is one of the most iconic symbols of Egypt.

After the discussion, I am doing my activities in PCK 7, Tec 9 and Arts in Appreciation.

Today, I wake up at 5:30 am in order to attend early in our online class. Exactly at
7:30 I am done eating my breakfast. When I open my messenger our instructor gave a signal
to those reporters for this day. Before the reporter start, she present first there objectives then
Ms. Jenny Nartia discuss about the Art in Early Civilization. Ancient Greeks were known to
excel in various fields and aspect of society. She discuss also the Democratic government it
is a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that
affect their lives. Democracy allows people to participate equally—either directly or through
elected representatives—in the proposal, development, and creation of laws. The
development of Greek art was divided into four (4) Periods; Φ Geometric Periods Φ Archaic
Periods Φ Classical Periods Φ Hellenistic Periods. When we say Geometric periods it was a
period when geometric shapes and patterns have taken the spotlight in most of the artwork
(ex. Pottery). Archaic Period usually placed importance of human figures. This was primarily
a result of Greece's trading activities with other civilization. Classical period the peak Greek
sculpture and architecture was during this period. It was during this time when the Greeks
found themselves rebuilding their temples and focusing on creating artworks. Hellenistic
period is the time of Alexander the Great. During this time art was primarily focused on
showcasing emotions and depicting reality. So in Hellenistic sculpture started to emphasize
balance while showcasing dynamic poses and a number of emotions evoked by the subjects.

Mr. Bryan Regotia also discusses about Ancient Rome - The Roman Republic
was established around 500 BCE. This civilization eventually transformed into one of the
Western Europe's mightiest empires. Since they had expanded and covered many territories,
they interacted with neighboring civilization, particularly with the Greece. The Romans were
fond of the Greeks and their achievement in the arts. The fusion of Greek and Roman cultures
can be seen in most Roman artwork. They also invoked the principles of realism in most of
their works highlighting the features of human beings; another is, aside from this, Romans
were also known to be master builders, which earned their reputation for grand monuments
and architectural infrastructures. Middle ages the church was the most important figure the
most important product of the early Middle Ages to be copied of Christian scriptures. Most of
their artworks are biblical like statue of Jesus Christ, Mary and also includes some of the
illustrations and decorations in the churches highlighted with their religion. The reason why
the Middle Ages are often called the Dark Ages is because, compared with other eras,
historians don't know as much about this time. In some ways, this period of time has been lost
to history. Many important records from this time have not survived.

Today is the continuation of the report of group 7. Mr. Regotia discuss about the
Baroque and Rococo period. The term Baroque is derived from the portuguese term
"Barocco" which is translated as "irregularly shaped pearl". This is suitable description that
Rome was the birth place of the Baroque period. - this period roughly spanned from 1600 to
1750. One of their famous artworks is the "ASSUMPTION OF VIRGIN MARY". In ancient
culture the Assumption of Virgin Mary is celebrated by public illumination and night time
bonfires. In some other cultures people throw coins from their windows into the street and
considered it as an idea of prosperity. Aside from art, music also flourished during the
Baroque period. This is because people believe that music could serve as powerful tool to
communicate messages that can evoke certain feelings among its listeners. Since the
birthplace of their period was in Rome, it did not surprise that most of composers came from
Italy. This includes -Vivaldi -Coralli –Monteverdi. One of the example of their music
composition is the Four Seasons, Concerto No. 4 in F Minor, RV 297 "Winter": I. Allegro
non molto Song by Orchestra da Camera Fiorentina, Giuseppe Lanzetta, Christiane Edinger.

The next reporter is Mr. Sombilon, he discuss about Neoclassicism. Neo means "new"
classicism means "creating the style". Modern art includes artistic work produced during the
period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, and denotes the styles and philosophy
of the art produced during that era. The term is usually associated with art in which the
traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation. There are
accounts that would attribute for the emergence of this kind of art during the French
Revolution in 1789. However, other historians claim that it was the year 1863, when there
was an emergence of modern painting exhibitions. Neoclassicism was a movement in Europe
that transpired during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It was the dominant
art movement that time which basically aimed to remove and rekindle the influences of Greek
and Roman into art and architecture. The Ancient Greeks and Europeans had placed emphasis
to human reason and keeping society in order. These very principles were also the dominant
the Enlightenment Period. Some historians would also say that the movement was a reaction
to the artworks produced during the Baroque Period. One of the example of Neoclassicism by
Antonio Canova | History and Appreciation of Art ll. Romanticism, as an art movement, used
the central themes of Neoclassicist artworks as a springboard. Romanticism have highlighted
heroic element into their work. During the Age of Revolutions, there has been a tremerndous
focus on patriotic and nationalistic movements. One of the major revolutions in history would
be the French Revolution. Such revolutionary movements became the focal point of most
Romantic works. The major and central themes of romanticism movement include the
emphasis on the goodness of mankind. Most works also promoted justice, equality, and social
order. Artist also emphasized emotion and feeling of man, which was a deviation from the
humanist principles of rationalism.
Realism is broadly considered the beginning of modern art. Literally, this is due to its
conviction that everyday life and the modern world were suitable subjects for art.
Philosophically, Realism embraced the progressive aims of modernism, seeking new truths
through the reexamination and overturning of traditional system of values and beliefs.
Realism was the first explicitly anti-institutional, nonconformist art movement. Realist
painters took aim at the social mores and values of the bourgeoisie and monarchy upon who
patronized the art market. Though they continued submitting works to the Salons of the
official Academy of Art, They were not above mounting independent exhibitions to defiantly
show their work.

Impressionism was developed by Claude Monet and other Paris-based artists from the
early 1860s. Though the process of painting on the spot can be said to have been pioneered in
Britain by John Constable in around 1813–17, through his desire to paint nature in a realistic
way. There are two type of Impressionism. It is the Neo-impressionism and Post-
impressionism. When we say Neo-Impressionism it is a term coined by French art critic Félix
Fénéon in 1886 to describe an art movement founded by Georges Seurat. Seurat's most
renowned masterpiece, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, marked the
beginning of this movement when it first made its appearance at an exhibition of the Société
des Artistes Indépendants (Salon des Indépendants) in Paris.[1] Around this time, the peak of
France's modern era emerged and many painters were in search of new methods. Followers of
Neo-Impressionism, in particular, were drawn to modern urban scenes as well as landscapes
and seashores. Science-based interpretation of lines and colors influenced Neo-
Impressionists' characterization of their own contemporary art.[2] The Pointillist and
Divisionist techniques are often mentioned in this context, because it was the dominant
technique in the beginning of the Neo-impressionist movement. Post-Impressionism (also
spelled Postimpressionism) is a predominantly French art movement that developed roughly
between 1886 and 1905, from the last Impressionist exhibition to the birth of Fauvism. Post-
Impressionism emerged as a reaction against Impressionists' concern for the naturalistic
depiction of light and colour. Due to its broad emphasis on abstract qualities or symbolic
content, Post-Impressionism encompasses Les Nabis, Neo-Impressionism, Symbolism,
Cloisonnism, Pont-Aven School, and Synthetism, along with some later Impressionists' work.
The movement was led by Paul Cézanne (known as father of Post-impressionism), Paul
Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Georges Seurat.[1] The term Post-Impressionism was first
used by art critic Roger Fry in 1906.[2][3] Critic Frank Rutter in a review of the Salon
d'Automne published in Art News, 15 October 1910, described Othon Friesz as a "post-
impressionist leader"; there was also an advert for the show The Post-Impressionists of
France.[4] Three weeks later, Roger Fry used the term again when he organized the 1910
exhibition, Manet and the Post-Impressionists, defining it as the development of French art
since Manet. Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations: they
continued using vivid colours, often thick application of paint, and real-life subject matter,
but were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, distort form for expressive effect, and
use unnatural or arbitrary colour. So our topic this day ends here. Because our times end up.
