PAINTING B

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a surface (support base).

 Is one of the oldest and most important arts. Since pre-historic times, artists have arranged colors on surfaces in ways that express their ideas about people the world and religion. They provide people with both pleasure and information.

History

The oldest known paintings are at the Grotte Chauvet in France, claimed by some historians to be about 32,000 years old.

earliest evidence of painting has been discovered in two rock-shelters in Arnhem Land, in northern Australia. In the lowest layer of material at these sites there are used pieces of ochre estimated to be 60,000 years old.

There are examples of cave paintings all over the world—in India, France, Spain, Portugal, China, Australia, etc.

Among   the   continuing   and   current   directions   in   painting   at   the   beginning   of   the   21st   century are Monochrome   painting, Hard-edge   painting, Geometric abstraction, Appropriation,Hyperrealism, Photorealism, Expressionism, Minimalism, Lyrical Abstraction, Pop Art, Op   Art, Abstract   Expressionism, Color   Field   painting, Neo-expressionism, Collage, Intermediapainting, Assemblage painting, Computer art painting, Postmodern painting, Neo-Dada painting, Shaped   canvas painting,   environmental mural painting, traditional figure painting, Landscape, Portrait painting, and paint-on-glass animation.

Elements

Intensity

In practice, painters can articulate shapes by juxtaposing surfaces of different intensity; by using just color (of the same intensity) one can only represent symbolic shapes. Thus, the basic means of painting are distinct from ideological means, such as geometrical figures, various points of view and organization (perspective), and symbols.

Color and tone

Color and tone are the essence of painting as pitch and rhythm are of music. Color is highly subjective, but has observable psychological effects, although these can differ from one culture to the next.  For example, Black is associated with mourning in the West, but in the East, white is.

Rhythm

Rhythm is important in painting as well as in music. If tone defines rhythm as "a pause incorporated into a sequence", then there can be rhythm in paintings

Pauses allow creative force to intervene and add new creations—form, melody, coloration.

Non-traditional elements

Some modern painters incorporate different materials such as sand, cement, straw or wood for their texture.

Use computers to paint color onto a digital canvas using programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter, and many others. These images can be printed onto traditional canvas if required.

Style

Style is   used   in   two   senses:   It   can   refer   to   the   distinctive   visual   elements,   techniques   and   methods   that   typify an individual artist's work. It can also refer to the movement or school that an artist is associated with.

Modern Painting

Influence by political, social, ideological and cultural trends of a particular time.

Examples:

Cubism -  A nonobjective school of painting and sculpture developed in Paris  in the early 20th century, characterized by the reduction and fragmentation of natural forms into abstract, often geometric structures usually rendered as a set of discrete planes.

Expressionism Surrealism - is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for the visual 

artworks and writings of the group members. Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur;

Post Modernism Dadaism   –  a   revolt   by   certain   20th-century   painters   and   writers   in   France,   Germany,   and 

Switzerland   against   smugness   in   traditional   art   and  Western   society;   their  works,   illustrating absurdity   through   paintings   of   purposeless   machines   and   collages   of   discarded   materials, expressed   their   cynicism   about   conventional   ideas   of   form   and   their   rejection  of   traditional concepts of beauty

Fauvism -  An early-20th-century  movement  in painting begun by a group of French artists and marked by the use of bold often distorted forms and vivid colors.

Cannot be classified as modern art because the movement lastred only up to 1970s
