Is there some internet resource out there explaining how to do a technical presentation on Fine Arts?

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

I have a group technical presentation for class. We are all heavily involved in Fine and Performing Arts and want to do our presentation on this. It has been difficult to be technical, not just informative. Any ideas? Thank you!

Here is a resource for most technical theater applications. The information is a little dated but overall its really well put together.

Art/Paintings?

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

I’m working on a monologue and it has to be based on a painting.. Does anyone know any paintings of people that are inspirational or that could have a well written monologue about them?? please send links!!! thanks

It depends on if you want something serious or humorous. If you’re looking for serious, try something from the rennaisance. If you’re looking for humor, try to find a peice of modern "art" (you know, the stuff that looks like a blind monkey made it?) or maybe Andy Warhol. There’s a treasure trove of inspirational art out there. You just have to look for it!

What are some important facts about Impressionism Art?

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Im doing a project on Impressionism Art. I went on different sites but its all the same old stuff. I want to know some very interesting facts on it that will help me with my presentation. Can you pls help me?

In the commercial art world, a lot of what you see is impressionism. Almost every major museum show is on impressionism. Why? It sells? Why does it sell? When the movement started it was breaking the rules for what "Fine or Classical Art" galleries wanted to display for artwork. Through time and especially now, this work is iconoclastic. That is, the impressionist artists define culture today, in fact the images define "Fine Art" today because the work is easy to read, that is easy to appreciate and easy to enjoy.
I think the colors are the first reason this art is easy to approach. Color is the first barrier to enticing the viewer (my opinion) it talks to our senses first. If you hate a color you move on. Not just color but the combinations of the colors, the pallets, are wonderful. They are often bright and varied.
In my mind, the current popularity of I. Art is due to the "Modern Art" movement."Modern Art" of the last century was often abstract or so out of the box it would weird the unsophisticated viewer out and it would alienate many. That was the point of a lot of it. It was to be "out of the box", "outside the lines", and to have "shock value". I. Art gave people who wanted to understand art and appreciate art an easy out. They could have quality images that were considered good art. In certain cirlcles art is like bread, and wine, and fresh flowers; it is a must. So, for those that hated the modern stuff, they could still be artsy fartsy and have good art. People who collect art can read volumes from reading into another’s collection.
Lastly, the I. art movement reflected the rebelliousness of its time. I believe that that was appealing to collecters who were living through the radical changes of the 20th century.
So I hope there are some threads in there that you can elaborate on and run with.

"all original art and science originates in observations of nature"

Most important question yet. I read this, but I have been unable to find out the answer for over two years!

Requirements for getting into a fine arts college?

I want to go to a fine arts college in London (overseas) and major in photography. I’ve never had any experience of a photographer, and photography wasn’t a course offered at my highschool. Do you think I could still be accepted? What’s the cost of a school like this? The only good college I’ve heard of is University of Arts London.

What was the art movement BEFORE impressionism? How is it different to impressionism?

Saturday, January 30th, 2010


Realism. It tried to create almost a photograph of a scene, versus just the impression of the scene.

Is modern art constructed by the artist or the art establishment?

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

You may see just a coat-stand in any empty room; the art critics may see a powerful metaphor for the solitariness of the human condition.
S/b "an empty room".

ya and if you make a U shape out of it it might look like a doggie ladder,, if you and i were laying in an open field looking at the clouds,, would we see the same things,, maybe , maybe not and whos to say who’s right,,
