Western Classical Art Traditions

Background Information for Learners


Every civilization of the world has its distinct art forms depending on its aesthetic and
utilitarian needs.
Pre-historic includes all human existence before the emergence of writing. Their art is
of interest not only to the art historians but also to archeologist and anthropologist, for whom
the art is only one clue – along with fossils, pollens, and other finds to an understanding of
early human life and culture.
Egyptian Civilization was one of the early civilizations that have greatly contributed in
the development of art, religion, science, and technology of the world. Egyptian art is primarily
religious in nature.
Ancient Greek art depicts naturalism. They portray human forms in a realistic and
anatomically correct manner. Their art has a conservative form with a very complex detail.
Roman Art developed as a new source of artistic creativity much more progressive than
the conservative Greek art. The diversity of its form and its variety inspired the modern attitude
in art.
Byzantine art was purposely made to glorify the Christian religion and to express its
mystery. It is filled with symbolism, illustrates a love of splendor. It was a combination of
eastern (decorative art forms) and classical Western art (naturalistic art)
Romanesque art was characterized by its very vigorous style in painting and sculpture,
lavishly decorated manuscripts, and retained many basic features of Roman architectural styles.
It was also greatly influenced by Byzantine art with a highly innovative and coherent style.
The basic characteristics of Gothic art styles reinforce symbolic meanings. The church
symbolizes the transcendence of the soul, and the underlying philosophy is to create buildings
of height and light.
Different eras, different styles, characteristics and functions of the arts occurred but all
of those contributed to the development and establishing the importance of arts in our lives
today.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


Western Classical Arts Tradition
Background Information for the learners
Prehistoric art is not easy to understand. These artworks are clues for archeologists in
understanding the Stone Age civilization. Archeologists are given a peek into the minds of the
primitive people through their art works and find out what they have experienced to produce
those pictures.
The characteristics of Egyptian art are a combination of geometric regularity and keen
observation of nature. Their art was classified into three: first art used in the home- furniture,
jewelry, musical instruments, and many more; second. Art used in the dead- tombs, masks
mummy cases, and wrapping for the body; third art was created for the gods and their priest
and kings- in temples, paintings statues.
Greek art style was a taste of western realism or “naturalism”. Artists have studied
anatomy, physics and optics, as well as techniques of carving, painting, building, gold-working,
and ceramics.
Roman artist tried to reproduce the world around them as realistically as they could.
Their architecture was designed to reflect the power of the city and to create in all people an
awe of its imperial power. Roman art reflects mixture of borrowed cultures fused together with
local traditions to form their own styles and traditions.
Byzantine art was the meeting place for the Greek and oriental culture.
Romanesque style was the first evolved in the first third of the 12 th century. It is a
complete realization of religious social functions and had an architectural program with a
wealth of sculpture decoration subordination to the architectural frame.

ANCIENT ART

Pre-historic
Pre-historic includes all human existence before the emergence of writing. Their art is of
interest not only to the art historians but also to archeologist and anthropologist, for whom the
art is only one clue- along with fossils, pollens and other finds to an understanding of early
human life and culture.

Paintings from the Pre-historic Era

Their paintings were found inside the caves which may have been their way of communicating
with each other. It may also be for religious or ceremonial purposes.
These paintings may be more an artifact of the archeological evidence than a true
picture of humans’ first created art. Prehistoric drawings of animals were usually
correct in proportion.

The dominant features in the painting were large animals native in the region. It was
discovered on 12 September 1940 and given statutory historic monument protection. The
painting has nearly 2,000 figures composed mainly of animals, human figures and abstract
design.

Egyptian Art
Paintings from Ancient Egypt
The purpose of Egyptian paintings is to make the deceased afterlife place pleasant. Themes

MEDIEVAL ART
Paintings from the Medieval Era

Byzantine Painting

The lively styles of paintings which had been invented in Greek and Rome lived on in
Byzantium but this time for Christian subjects.
By the 11th century, the Greek and Oriental styles seem to blend together in
magnificent, imposing images, which adorned the churches in large and small forms.

Romanesque Painting
These are largely placed mosaics on the walls of the churches that follows a strict frontal
pose. It has a remarkable variety of artistic traditions such as modeling and treatment of faces
and draperies that follow Byzantine convention while the refreshingly decorative feeling comes
from southern French styles. It also shows traces of Mozarabic influence (Arabize influence)
through elongated oval faces, large staring eyes and long noses, figures against flat colored
bands and heavy outlining.

of capitals in green, red and black in between of figures of Virgin Mary and five saints are
columns with wavy line patterns going vertically.
This mural painting has been moved to Barcelona and replaced by a replica.
Paintings from the Gothic Era

ANCIENT ART
Sculptures from the Early Age

Pre-Historic Sculptures
Materials used in sculptures vary according to region and locality. Archeologists
believed that their sculpture is a result of natural erosion and not of human artistry.
Frequently carving may have mythological or religious significance.

Note: Practice Personal hygiene protocols at all times. 52


Sculptures from the Egyptian Era

Symbolic elements were widely used such as forms, hieroglyphics, relative size,
location, materials, color, actions and gestures. Their tombs required the most extensive used
of sculpture.

creature with animal heads on human bodies
2. Relief compositions were arranged in horizontal lines to record an event or represent an
action.
3. Most of the time the gods were shown larger than humans, the kings larger than their
followers, the dead larger than the living.
4. Empty space were filled with figures or hieroglyphics .

Sculptures from the Classical Period

Greek Sculptures

Early Greek sculptures were tense and stiff, their bodies were hidden within enfolding
robes. After three centuries of experiments, Greek sculptures had finally evolved and showed
all the points of human anatomy and proportion.
.
One of the most popular styles of the greek sculptures was the Hellenistic style.

arrangement of figures and groups, and an emphasis on the representation of movement for
dramatic effects.

Architecture from the Early Age

Pre-Historic Architecture

Man has developed a form of architecture based on megaliths (a big rock) from the
Greek word lithos (stone) and megas (big). This architecture is made of huge stone blocks
which were probably intended for burial.
Megalithic monuments have always ignited man’s imagination. It provided plenty of
legends and superstition. During this era, stones and rocks were associated with divinity.
Three main types of megalith stones:

1. Menhir: a huge stone


standing vertically on
the ground, usually
standing in the middle
of the field or arranged
in rows.

Note: Practice Personal hygiene protocols at all times. 56


2. Dolmens: the word
dolmen originated
from the expression
taolmaen, which
means “stone table”.
These structures are
in a form of table
consisting of two
hugestanding stones
supporting a
horizontal giant
stone. It is believed
that it served as
grave or as an altar.

3. Cromlech: a Brythonic word where


“crom” meansbent or curved and “llech”
which means slab orflagstones. Literary it is
a circle of standing stones.
Stonehenge: best preserved megalithic site
in Europe, a group of stones arranged in
concentric circles, with a large external
circle oftriliths (Greek word meaning three
stones)

Egyptian Architecture

This architectural style was developed during the pre-dynastic period 4,000BC.
Characteristics of Egyptian Architecture

1. The structure has thick sloping walls with few openings to obtain stability.
2. The exterior and interior walls along with columns and piers were covered with
hieroglyphics and pictorial frescoes and carvings painted in brilliantcolors.
3. Ornamentations were symbolic including scarab (sacred beetle), solar disk and
vulture, common motifs (palmleaves, buds, flower of lotus, and papyrus plants)
4. Temples were aligned with astronomically significant events like solstices (comes
from the Latin word Sol, meaning sun and stitium meaning stoppage, as the sun appears to

stand still on the first day of winter) and equinox (a time or date when day and night are of
equal length) with precise measurements required in determining the moment of that particular
event.
Pyramids of Giza
It is the most substantial ancient structure
of the world. The three pyramids are the
funerary structures of the three kings of
the fourth dynasty (2575 to 2465 BC)
namely:
Khufu (Cheops) whom the Great Pyramid
was attributed to; Khafa (Chepren)whom
the pyramid next to the Great Pyramid is
attributed; and the smallest is attributed to
Menkaura (Mycerinus).

Greek Architecture

Temples consisted of a central shrine or room in an aisle surrounded by rows of


columns. These buildings were designed in one of three architectural style or orders:

DORIC IONIC CORINTHIAN

The Parthenon
447-432 BC, Athens
The Greatest Classical temple
ingeniously engineered to correct an
optical illusion. The columns were
slightly contorted, swollen at the center
and leaning inward to correct what would
otherwise have been an impression of
deadness and top heaviness.

Roman Architecture
They built sturdy stone structures both for use and to perpetuate their glory.
The emperors erected huge halls and arenas for public games, baths and procession. They built
them of gigantic arches of stone, bricks and concrete or with barrel vaults.

Byzantine Architecture

It has a lot in common with the early Christian architecture.Mosaic decoration was
perfected by the Byzantines, as was the use of clerestory to bring light in from high
windows.Byzantine's advancement in developing the dome created a new style in global
architecture.

Romanesque Architecture

Romanesqeu architecture displayed solid masonry walls, rounded arches and masonry
vaults.It is the period of great building activities in Europe, castles, churches, monasteries arose
everywhere.

The doorways of Romanesque’s churches are often grand sculptured portals. Wood or
metal doors are surrounded by elaborate stone sculpture arranged in zones to fit architectural
elements.

Western Classical Arts Tradition

Background Information for the learners

Prehistoric art is not easy to understand. These artworks are clues for archeologists in
understanding the Stone Age civilization. Archeologists are given a peek into the minds of
the primitive people through their art works and find out what they have experienced to
produce those pictures.

The characteristics of Egyptian art are a combination of geometric regularity and keen
observation of nature. Their art was classified into three: first art used in the home- furniture,
jewelry, musical instruments, and many more; second. Art used in the dead- tombs, masks
mummy cases, and wrapping for the body; third art was created for the gods and their priest
and kings- in temples, paintings statues.

Greek art style was a taste of western realism or “naturalism”. Artists have studied anatomy,
physics and optics, as well as techniques of carving, painting, building, gold-working, and
ceramics.

Roman artist tried to reproduce the world around them as realistically as they could. Their
architecture was designed to reflect the power of the city and to create in all people an awe of
its imperial power. Roman art reflects mixture of borrowed cultures fused together with local
traditions to form their own styles and traditions.

Byzantine art was the meeting place for the Greek and oriental culture.

Romanesque style was the first evolved in the first third of the 12 th century. It is a complete
realization of religious social functions and had an architectural program with a wealth of
sculpture decoration subordination to the architectural frame.

Western Classical Art Traditions

Background Information for Learners


Prehistoric to Medieval arts has very rich characteristics, have specific functions in
people’s lives and beliefs, are very modern and accurate in their designs and became the key
in understanding how the people at the early age lived their lives.
In recent decades, globalization has challenged our notions of “the west” and what
constitutes western art. Although some western traditions of art (such as oil painting, marble
sculpture, still life and landscapes) persist, artists, like all of us today, are citizens in a global
village.
From the Prehistoric to Medieval, most of the artworks influences some famous
artworks of the Philippines which reflect how they have in common or how they can be
associated with each other.
