2-2-11 Years and Years of Paint

We started off talking about the art of before mankind. The Australopithecus a species before us. They carried the pebble 20 miles to their cave. The pebble looks like a face was carved into it, but in reality it was the water that created it.
Then we looked at beyond, which had a picture that was placed on a spaceship. It had simple lining with stars, the sun and numbers.
We followed that with talking about Goth. This was the age of the cathedral. some parts of them were burned and rebuilt. But the real controversy was the glass windows.
Renaissance precursors we looked at the  images of Jan Van Eyck called the Madonna and the Child and The Arnolfini Portrait

High Renaissance: That time periods artists were some of the most famous of all time including Micheal Angelo, Leanardo and Raphael



Baroque is an excessive drama filled area. With the artist of Bernini who sculpted David, He tried to own it since Micheal Angelo had already done this. This area also had the Cornaro Chapel. Behind the altar is “Ecstasy” Which is St Teresa of Avilla.

Lastly is the Rococco period which is even more excessive and drama filled. This area consisted of “The Swing”, Reynold Siddons and Marie Antoinette.

* All and all This skim through gave me the gist of the painting area through out history. It was fast, but yet interesting. I would have added more but my computer would not let me open Freemind, So i had to go off my notes and google some pictures. But i believe i got the gist of the history of painting. I would have to say i though tit was interesting and fun to learn about all these different types of painters and the way time has evolved the paintings.
