Matisse and organic and geometric shapes
The document provides instructions for making a self-portrait inspired by Henri Matisse's paper cutouts. Students are told to cut organic shapes from construction paper, glue them to a white sheet of paper, draw their face on the white paper, color the foreground with chalk, and use oil pastels to add patterns to the background before outlining the face with black paint.
Matisse: Cut Paper Designs
After being diagnosed with cancer in 1941, Henri Matisse began creating cut-paper designs with the help of assistants. His assistants would paint sheets of paper which Matisse would then cut out colored shapes and pieces from and arrange on the papers. This new cut-paper technique allowed Matisse, who used a wheelchair at this point, to continue being artistically creative. He produced over 300 of these cut-paper designs in the final years of his life.
Matisse.Ppt
The document discusses Henri Matisse and his cutout artworks that he created in his old age. It explains that when Matisse was 83 years old and sick, he developed a new technique called "drawing with scissors" where he would cut out shapes from painted paper and arrange them to create compositions. The process involved his assistants painting sheets of paper, Matisse cutting out the shapes, and then pasting them onto other sheets of paper. Some of Matisse's most famous cutout works were for a book called "Jazz." The document emphasizes that although Matisse did this work from his bed due to illness, he continued being creative using his memory for ideas until his death.

Waves of feminism
This document discusses the history and evolution of feminism from the 1940s onwards. It begins by covering early feminist figures and works from the 1940s-1960s that challenged ideas of male chauvinism and the feminine mystique. The 1960s saw the rise of second-wave feminism in response to works like The Feminine Mystique and the establishment of groups like NOW. However, second-wave feminism has been criticized for primarily applying to white, middle-class women and ignoring issues of race and sexuality. More recent third-wave feminism seeks to be more inclusive of these intersecting identities and views gender as socially constructed.

Chapter 5 experiments in color and form
This document summarizes key developments in early 20th century visual arts in Europe. It discusses how Post-Impressionist artists like Gauguin, Matisse and Cézanne inspired experimentation with color and form. Gauguin's travels to Tahiti influenced his simplified forms and bold color juxtapositions. Fauvism emerged in 1905, characterized by expressive, non-naturalistic use of color. Matisse was a leading Fauvist artist, along with Derain, Vlaminck, Braque and Dufy. Brancusi pioneered modern sculpture through his simplified, abstract forms that captured the essence of subjects like birds in flight.
Op art
Victor Vasarely was a French painter considered one of the first Op Art artists, exploring optical illusions through precise patterns and colors that gave the illusion of movement. As a commercial artist and graphic designer, he first experimented with black and white works before incorporating color to make parts of his geometric images seem to bulge or vibrate against their backgrounds. Vasarely's paintings and graphics reached their peak popularity and influence in the 1960s and 1970s as Op Art rose in the United States and Europe.
Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres 1.0
The staunch champion of French official art, Ingres began his career in the studio of the Classical painter David. After winning the Prix de Rome, he spent many years in Italy, where he discovered his peculiarly sensual ideal of beauty through a study of Renaissance masters, particularly Raphael. Patronized by Napoleon, be scrapped a reasonable living until his lifestyle was devastated by the fall of the Empire.
On his return to France, Ingres was acclaimed at the Paris Salon, and was plunged into rivalry with the Romantic painter Delacroix. Although extremely sensitive to the criticism he aroused, Ingres was delighted to find himself held up as the greatest exponent of Classicism. Now happily married by the second time, he was famous for his society portraits and erotic nudes. He died in Paris, at the age of 86.

Op Art
Op art is an art movement that uses optical illusions to create the effects of movement, shifting shapes, and changing perspective in a static work of art. It emerged in the 1960s, building on scientific experiments with color and light from the 19th century. Key figures who helped develop op art include Victor Vasarely, who pioneered the style, and Bridget Riley, known for her black and white paintings that create optical effects. Op art uses precise geometric patterns and color contrasts to trick the eye into perceiving movement or depth that is not actually present.
Op Art
Op art is an art movement that uses optical illusions to create the effects of movement, depth, or swirling patterns in the viewer's mind. It emerged in the 1960s, building on scientific research into optical perceptions from the 19th century. Major op artists include Victor Vasarely, who helped popularize the movement, and Bridget Riley, known for her black and white paintings that create optical effects. They used simple geometric patterns and color contrasts to trick the eye into perceiving movement without any actual moving parts. The goal of op art is to produce visual illusions through precise mathematical compositions that appear to move or change when viewed from different angles.
Impressionism
Impressionism was an artistic movement that began in the late 1860s in France. Artists began experimenting with applying color and light in new ways that focused on capturing fleeting visual impressions rather than adhering to traditional techniques. Notable Impressionist artists included Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. When their works were rejected from the official Salon exhibitions in Paris, the Impressionists began organizing independent exhibitions of their own to showcase their style, which faced criticism but also gained acceptance over time before concluding in the late 1880s as Neo-Impressionism emerged.

Edward Hopper: The Paris YearsFebruary 22 - June 1, 2003ﾊEdward Hopper was the J.D. Salinger of American painters, an extremely private man who granted few interviews. Much of what scholars know about his work comes from his wife Jo Nivison-Hopper's journals. Edward Hopper: The Paris Years, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art of New York, provides a tantalizing look at the early work of one of America's best known figurative painters. The exhibition of 45 paintings and 10 works on paper opens at Charlotte, NC's Mint Museum of Art on February 22 and runs through June 1, 2003.

Hopper)Hopper said little about even his most accomplished paintings, believing the work should speak for itself. Scholars have been left to speculate on influences on his career, from his realist art instructors Robert Henri, William Merritt Chase andKenneth Hayes Miller at the New York School of Art to the psychological reaction of a young man raised in a small town coming to grips with isolation and loss of community in the urban modern age that was New York City at the turn of the century.

Hopper)Edward Hopper's early talent for drawing and painting was encouraged by his mother Elizabeth. The family's middle class concern for his future financial security influenced Edward to attend The New York School of Illustrating before transferring to the New York School of Art. Hopper would work more than fifteen years as a commercial illustrator, work that he despised. His skill at painting watercolors, however, is attributed to the years spent as an illustrator. He was able to master strokes with the brush and had a remarkable eye for being able to adjust a composition to where it would have the most immediate anddramatic impact on the viewer.After six years of study at the New York School of Art, Hopper left for France in October, 1906. His Paris studies coincided with an exciting era in the history of the Modern movement. Hopper, however, was untouched by Fauvist and Cubist art popular at the time, continuing instead to follow.

ART MOVEMENTS 5B
Expressionism emerged in Germany in the early 20th century as a reaction against Impressionism and academic art. Inspired by Symbolism, Expressionism sought to convey emotions and ideas through bold colors and distorted forms rather than through realistic representations. Key Expressionist artists included Vincent van Gogh, Edvard Munch, and James Ensor, who influenced the movement with their emotive and non-realistic styles. Expressionism aimed to express inner feelings and convey a sense of anxiety about modern humanity's relationship with the world through intentionally distorted forms.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir Essay

Modern Arts and Contemporary Art Forms
This document provides an overview of Impressionism and key Impressionist artists. It discusses how Impressionism began as a rejection of photography's influence on painting and an attempt to capture light, atmosphere, and sensation over specific details. Major Impressionist painters discussed include Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and Alfred Sisley. The document instructs students to sketch Monet's painting "Lily of the Gardens" and describe the artworks of five Impressionist painters in their notebook.
The History of Cubism
George Braque was an influential French painter and pioneer of Cubism. He developed analytic Cubism through his partnership with Pablo Picasso, breaking objects into geometric forms and multiple perspectives. Braque was inspired by Paul Cezanne's use of color gradations and the Fauvist movement's expressive brushwork and bright colors.
Cubism
Cubism was an early 20th century avant-garde art movement that revolutionized European painting and sculpture. It was developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque between 1907-1920, inspired by African art and Post-Impressionist painters like Cézanne. Cubism depicted subjects from multiple viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. There were two phases: Analytic Cubism focused on geometric forms like cubes from 1908-1912; Synthetic Cubism reassembled subjects with collage from 1912-1919. Cubism influenced later artistic movements like Surrealism and Expressionism and revolutionized how artists depicted the visual world.

Impressionism and Post-Impressionism were two influential art movements that emerged in late 19th century France. This essay compares and contrasts the styles of Impressionism, exemplified by Claude Monet, and Post-Impressionism, exemplified by Vincent van Gogh. While Impressionism focused on accurately depicting light and atmosphere, Post-Impressionism emphasized expressing emotions and personal meanings through bolder uses of color and brushwork.
Claude Monet Research Paper
Here is a 5 paragraph essay on the topic of art during the Renaissance period:
The Renaissance marked a period of great change and development in the world of art. Artists began moving away from the religious focus of the Middle Ages and explored new secular themes inspired by classical antiquity. They studied anatomy, perspective, and other scientific principles to achieve greater realism in their works. Naturalism replaced symbolic imagery as artists sought to accurately depict the natural world through careful observation.
One of the greatest influences on Renaissance art was the rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman artistic achievements. From examining surviving statues and architecture, artists learned new techniques in areas like proportional anatomy and used this knowledge to create more realistic figures. They also drew inspiration from classical mythology and

He did most of his art work in Paris. 1. Married a fellow student Claire Spinner (1908, 1990) and had two sons, Andre and Jean-Pierre. 2. He opened a museum June 5, 1970 in Gordes, Paris, and put five-hundred pieces of work into it. Victor was influenced by the problems of the world’s cities. Victor felt his work offered a solution by presenting a clear view of color-surface perception relationship. I like his art work because it gets me to think how it is formed into that confusing way. I like the design of his pieces too, it is very well thought and created.
