Art History Lessons |

 |

Art Appreciation is the knowledge and understanding of the universal and timeless qualities that identify all great art. The more you appreciate and understand the art of different eras, movements, styles and techniques, the better you can develop, evaluate and improve your own artwork. |

Art
Movements are the collective titles that are given to artworks
which share the same artistic ideas, style, technical approach
or timeframe. They are a historical convenience for grouping together
artists of a certain period, style or technique so that they may be more easily understood. Art
Movements are usually named retrospectively by art critics or
historians and their titles are often witty or sarcastic nicknames
pulled from a bad review. |

Portraits express the beauty, status,
power, wealth or character of their subjects. Artists
use a wide range of media for portraiture, including drawing,
printing, painting, sculpture, photography and multimedia. |

Still Life is the drawing and painting of items such as
fruit, flowers and household objects, which are usually
arranged on a table top or shelf. Over
the centuries artists have chosen to paint still life objects for their symbolism, abstract qualities or simply their visual beauty. |

Animals in Art has always been a popular subject. They are often depicted for their natural beauty and majesty, or as mythical or symbolic beasts. Sometimes they are portrayed as the hunter's prey, prize livestock, or more sentimentally as domestic pets. |
