or conceptual ideas.
ART
There is no generally agreed definition
of what constitutes art, and its
interpretation has varied greatly
throughout history and across cultures.
The three classical branches of visual
art are painting, sculpture,
and architecture.
ART
In modern usage after the 17th
century, where aesthetic
considerations are paramount, the fine
arts are separated and distinguished
from acquired skills in general, such as
the decorative or applied arts.
ART
Theatre, dance, and other performing arts,
as well as literature, music, film and other
media such as interactive media, are
included in a broader definition of the arts.
Until the 17th century, art referred to any
skill or mastery and was not differentiated
from crafts or sciences.
ART
The nature of art and related concepts,
such as creativity and interpretation, are
explored in a branch of philosophy
known as aesthetics. The
resulting artworks are studied in the
professional fields of art criticism and
the history of art.

ART
The term "representation" suggests a
type of description or portrayal of
someone or something. In the visual
arts this implies that the art object depicts
something other than or outside itself. In
some cases the mode of representation is
iconic and relies on ideas or symbols.
ART
Common examples of this type of art
include portraits, traditional
landscapes, paintings of everyday
scenes, historical or mythological
painting, still life’s and of course
various types of figurative and
equestrian statue.
ART
Form is one of the elements of visual art
which pertains to the way that a shape or
physical configuration occupies space.
For a three-dimensional work of art like a
sculpture or work of architecture, form is the
shape, structure, and arrangement of
components like length, width, and depth of
a shape.
ART
Art is an expression of our thoughts,
emotions, intuitions, and desires, but it is
even more personal than that: it's about
sharing the way we experience the world,
which for many is an extension of
personality. It is the communication of
intimate concepts that cannot be faithfully
portrayed by words alone.
ART
An example of form is the
circular shape of an apple.
An example of form is a job

ART
To express emotions-thoughts
Apart from emotions and thoughts, artists
tend to use visuals to show their beliefs,
values, and memories.
Painting helps a lot of artists get away from
the real world and get through different
phases of life.
ART
Artists also create art for a variety of other specific
reasons, including:
• To demonstrate technical expertise with a medium.
• Celebrating the aesthetics of common, ordinary and
mundane objects.
• Depict the beauty in nature.
• Explore elements of art – line, shape, space, color, etc.
• Innovation and breaking rules. e

EXPRESSIONISM EXPRESSIONISM

At the beginning of the 20th century, some artists who

have been connected with impressionism began to find
fault with it. They felt that this style sacrificed too much
by trying to capture the momentary effects of sunlight on
forms and colors. They felt that art should present a
more personal, expressive view of life. In Germany,
the view was eagerly accepted by several groups of
artists. The art movement in which artworks
conveyed strong feelings was called expressionism.
EXPRESSIONISM
Expressionism refers to art in
which the image of reality is
distorted in order to make it
expressive of the artist's inner
feelings or ideas.
EXPRESSIONISM
The famous proponents of
expressionism:
1. Edvard Munch—Munch
was the best known forerunner
of expressionism. His early life
was tortured by sickness,
death, insanity, unhappy love
affairs, and guilt— a classic
way to understand his
paintings.
EXPRESSIONISM
Characteristics of expressionism
They used jagged, distorted lines;
rough, rapid brushwork; and
jarring colors to depict urban street
scenes and other contemporary
subjects in crowded, agitated
compositions notable for their
instability and their emotionally

The two founders of cubism, Pablo

with idea that all shapes in nature are

to the “abstract” properties of line,
