My presentation was on Art. I felt it was important because it is a big part of the world and without art our world would be so dual. Art starts way back used by cave mans it has a history to it. Without history there is no present day. Between the history and advantages and such I could go on and on about how useful it is. The invention in art such as the lead tube. It allowed for paint to stay fresh and not dry out. It was able to be portable which lead to many more artists painting outside. Artists would not have to make their paint each time and their pigments would remain the same.
There are different styles such as Romantic style it is described to be around in the 1800’s. It gained popularity in France & Britain in the early

Also known as Op art, is considered “Pictures that attack the eye.” It is a type of abstract art that relies on optical illusions to try and fool the eye of the viewer. The viewer must focus because the illusion may suggest one image, but upon closer inspection reveal something completely different. Another thing I talked about in my presentation is the discovery of perspective. Said to be discovered by architect Filippo Brunelleschi. He stated that objects shrink in size according to their position and distance from the eye. He was able to mathematically calculate the scale of objects within a painting in order to make them appear realistic. Many painters at that time then adopted that formula into their paintings.
What is tempera painting? Tempera is also called egg tempera, it is a method of painting. The word “tempera” comes from Latin word temperature, meaning to mix in proportion. It uses water, egg yolks or whole eggs. Fresco painting is a technique of mural painting executed upon freshly laid, or wet lime plaster. Water is used as the pigment to merge with the plaster and setting of the plaster. The word fresco is Italian, it means “fresh”. The fresco technique has been employed since antiquity and is closely associated with Italian Renaissance painting. Popular use from Michelangelo and Raphael. Another type of painting is watercolor I think it is really pretty. Watercolor techniques are
One element that was effective was the background and overview that was provided in the presentation. These components to the presentation displayed the problem successfully, while drawing the audience in to the issue of current teachings of this “Digital Generation.” Another element was the speakers informative use of images and statistics to provide support for the solution he was proposing. Lastly, an element that made this presentation stronger was the actual solution to the problem. The solution was logical to the audience and purposeful due to the adequate background that the presenter provided to “paint the
The art of this era falls under the category of “psychedelic art.” Psychedelic can be defined as “of or noting a mental state characterized by a profound sense of intensified sensory perception, sometimes accompanied by severe perceptual distortion and hallucinations and by extreme feelings of either euphoria or despair,”8 and was usually influenced by the use of drugs. This kind of art was characterized by bright colors and unusual contrasts. Op art and pop art fall under this category of psychedelic art. “Op art, short for Optical art, is a style of abstraction that relies on geometric shapes, lines, and color juxtapositions to create optical illusions for the viewer.”9 Often looking at Op art makes one feel dizzy or disillusioned, which is the goal of the artist. Pop art was popular for commercial use, often seen in advertisements or on
The movie I picked for my presentation is The Little Giants picked this movie because it relates to many key concepts we covered in class. The first being about family due to the fact that the story is based on two brothers. Secondly, gender roles because a girl is playing a male dominant sport. Social groups are then next when the older and more skilled guys talk to the less athletic kids. Finally, is class because where credit was deserved it was given.
While doing the research it made me interested in being a motion graphic designer possibly working with companies for advertisement and commercials on television when I’m done with my schooling. When planning out my presentation I had so much information I wanted to share but when I realized I only have 2 minutes or less to talk I had to cut a lot of information out. Eric from the Digital Arts and Design field came into our class and mainly talked about motion graphics and although it was interesting he said information that I wanted to bring out as well in my presentation and since the presentation would be the following class day it kind of discouraged me to repeat the same information they already heard. The project overall was very informative and having a group helped me with making friends in
Casein is a milk based paint and tempera is an egg based paint. tempera is another common medium. Before oil painting became popular, most painting was done with tempera paints. Rather than oil, the pigments are held together with a sticky material, most commonly egg yolk. Egg yolk holds the pigments together, but it dries very fast and can sometimes give the paint a slightly yellow color. Nevertheless, it was a very common way to make paint before oils came around and is still used by many artists who enjoy working with fast-drying paints to create certain effects. Tempera is often used to paint wood, another common medium before the Italian
The one thing that makes watercolors the least expensive medium is the amount of supplies needed to get started, which consists of only the essentials: paints, paintbrushes, watercolor paper, a pallete, and water. Because of its need of just the bare necessities, this makes watercoloring an affordable pastime. (McArdle) The forms of traditional watercolors are pans and tubes. Furthermore, the difference between the two is that tubes of paint are already moist, so water isn’t required; pans on the other hand are hard cakes of paint that need water in order to be used. (McArdle) Along with traditional watercolors, there are two other derived forms of watercolor: tempera and gouache. Unlike most watercolors, tempera uses a binding agent instead of gum arabic, meaning that they are made with sizes1. Because of this ingredient, tempera paintings are long-lived. (Steel) Meanwhile, gouache contains larger

Prior to people writing off art, every person needs to sit down educated themselves about the culture. The information is extensive to learned about but very informative. Though art is considered to be an expression of creativity, it holds certain qualities that will benefit society. Art is more than express the creativity, it is a source of stress reliever, a channel of communication, and it deescalates the racial tension. Art has played a significant role in the gilded era, social justice movements and diversity. Art ideology brought unity among people and it also gave the world visual representation of time. That representation is being discussed in today society allowing people to have peaked at the times back then. Finally, as society
The project was about the book we read “We Are Witnesses”, we had to read the book in class and outside of class with our group members, while completing some worksheets of the main events in the story. One of the stories that I read was about a girl named Anne Frank who was with her family living in an attic with another family during World War 2. They were able to live in the attic until they were found and sent to death camps. This helped me in communicating ideas because I was able to present a project to my classmates were my group and I explained to them the story from the point of view of kids that were around our age. This also helped me with my way of presenting In front oi an audience because I'm usually nervous when I present and I speak fast, but in this presentation I was able to speak more fluently and feel more confident when I was presenting. This presentation was different from my other presentations because in this presentation I talked about the different types of life experiences little kids had to go through with their family members, it also made me more nervous because it wasn’t easy for me to talk about other people’s
During my speech, I presented many different strengths. One of the strengths that I had included having a detailed slide with many pictures. I did a good job organizing the slides on my PowerPoint while incorporating various amounts of pictures. The pictures that included went along with what I was presenting. Another strength that I possessed was finding research about my topic. Research is one of the most important
I loved your presentation specially because you chose Animation as your target. Animated movies are my favorite and getting to know more about was definitely fun. Is very interesting to know how far animation has come after all these years. You presented enough information and details about the art you chose which made it very easy and simple to understand. Looking back to the silent era we can see how much animated movies has evolved. Since technology wasn’t a huge thing back then I must give credit to the producers for doing such a great job. Colors in animated movies play a huge role since colors is one of the first thing that gets the viewers’ attention and I was able to notice that when I had to watch a black and white animated
50). Op artists use some types of repetitive patterns to create a unique relationship between artwork and ground. The main idea of Op art is to make the viewer have worrisome experience. Op artists want to influence an audience with psychological effect. However,
Not only has this project helped me, the whole entire class has really helped me be a better public speaker. At first, I was I was more embarrassed and inexperienced but once Mrs. Mohr taught us and guided us I felt more comfortable. That’s why I’m glad I chose to take Honors English and why I’m glad to have done the presentation. This way I expanded my knowledge in being a public
The art exhibit was in the Gordon Hightower Library. The exhibit was on Thursday, April 10, 2002 and lasted all day long and is still going on. There were not many paintings, but the two main painters were Marlin Adams and R. Defamore. Adams painted portraits of fruit and people. Defamore painted a series of paintings that were all similar but very different and dark such as “The Victim- Talking Hand and Screaming Heads” and “The Hero-To Tell Or Not To Tell”.
A lot of people think that art can only go as far as a class in school, but in reality there is art around everyone. Art can be a way of life for some people, and for others it is simply just something they pass every single day. What they do not realize is that art can have benefits in different aspects in their life, in children's lives, and even the world around them.
