Hi Guys! Today I'm going to make for my 10th week review and this is my last review about media. Last week, I make a review about the humorous commercial of Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdog. Today, I make a review about the Philippine Savings bank commercial.  This commercial teaches the value of saving even in times of dating. It is a humorous and cute because it features Luis Manzano, a filipino actor, TV host, comedian and model.

This is the commercial of PS bank:

It shows a witty/humorous and simple yet entertaining commercial and it attracts attention to all the viewers. The technique that they use is Wit and Humor and testimonial because it endorse this commercial of a popular people like Luis Manzano.

AYYY... Goodbye Carlo! (Tender Juicy Hotdog TVC) :)

Hi Guys, I'm back hahaha! Today I'm going to make for my 9th week review about media. Last week, I make a review about the inspirational advertisement commercial of the product of CHUCKIE titled "Chuckie Buddy", for now, I'm going to search about advertisement here in the Philippines and I found this commercial titled "Goodbye Carlo", the Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdog commercial. Do you remember this Ad? I choose this advertisement for my review because this because of the humorous and sweet story and they became popular and classic commercial. In this TVC is about a chubby little girl (Chantal Umali) who tried to get rid of her love for Tender Juicy hotdogs (product) in order to lose weight and impress her crush named Carlo (who was actually Patrick Garcia). But in the end, she chose her love for hotdogs and so she writes a goodbye in the diary for her beloved Carlo while she eats another piece of hotdog.

The line of the commercial:

"Dear Diary,

Carlo sat beside me today, he's so cute. Sabi niya I'm pretty kaya lang I'm fat. I eat too much kase eh. Mula ngayon, goodbye chocolates, goodbye spaghetti, goodbye hotdogs... aayyy...GOODBYE CARLO!"

TVC commercial of this product (Tender Juicy Hotdog):

Click here :) (WATCH THIS)

In this commercial shows a witty and simple yet entertaining commercial and It attracts attention of both children and adult. The technique that they use is "testimonial" and "wit and humor" because it endorse this advertisement in a prominent and popular person (Chantal Umali- child star of the 90's) and they use one actress and one venue (bedroom). They use "fade in and fade out", "panning", close shots and medium shots in the video. The font that they use is failed because at the end of this commercial, as you can see in the image below shows the wrong letter of "S" in the word of "years". It looks like the writing of the elementary students. They use cursive and non- cursive letters.

That's all whooooo :)

CHUCKIE BUDDY :')

Hello guys, today I'm going to make for the 8th week review about media. For now, I'm going to do a review about the television commercial of "CHUCKIE" ( drink beverage brand ) titled "Chuckie Buddy". This commercial has a inspirational, emotional and very touching because of the theme about mother and the child. It shows that the mother and the child are doing everything together such as wearing costumes and they act like in the fantasy character and etc. and this is their bonding together. Mother do their best to be happy and fun and they sacrificed a promising career to be with our children. When I watch this, I am very emotional (sad, happy, cry etc) because of my mother when we have a bonding together when I was a kid until now. She is my "HERO". I'm so happy and she is my number one mother of my life and I love her very much. 

"Mother's love is priceless".

This is the commercial of CHUCKIE:

Click here! Watch this :) 

This commercial has attracts attention because of the jingle that they use in this commercial, and it is very nice song.  The technique that they use is transfer or emotional appeal because it shows positive feelings and it shows love. I like the concept and the flow of the story.  In terms of technicality, it has 2 actor and actress in this commercial with many venues like subdivision, park and house. It shows creativity because of the costumes that they create. Different basic shots are used. 

Tagline -minsan lang sila bata, sabayan mo na. 

Slohan- chocolatey buddy.

That's all :)

Crispy Patata REVIEW

Hello Guys, today I'm going to make for a 7th week review about media in the Philippines. Last week, I make a review about the print- ad of carbtrim. I saw a new commercial in the television and this is the commercial of the the snack product of Oishi, the "Crispy Patata"- baked potato snack. This commercial will be aired on August 2 featuring the one of the popular actress and comedienne named Alex Gonzaga and Ritz Charles Beltran (G Force members). Alex Gonzaga endorsed the snack product and she said there was something in this snack because of the crunchiness/crispiness.

Watch this commercial below:

Crispy Patata Commercial :)

In the situation in this commercial that when Alex eat this snack, Ritz dance with sound effect of cracking joint (the action of joint manipulation to produce a sharp cracking or popping sound). this cracking joint are similar to the sound of the crispiness of this snack product. 

The propaganda technique of this commercial is "testimonial" and "wit and humor" because it endorse a product by a prominent person and this TV commercial has a great element of surprise that will make you laugh because of the comedienne. Th target audience is to all people like to eat snacks. It attracts attention because it's witty. It has an effective way to endorse this advertising because it shows the crispiness and delicious snack product (crispy patata). In terms of technicality, it has 2 actor and actress in this commercial with one venue. It is very clean and sharp. They use many lights to be more better. Different shots are used in this commercial.

That's all 

Have a good day! 

:)

SCENE: 

Print-ads (Carbtrim) burp!

Hello Guys! For now I make a review about print- ads in the Philippines. One of the print- ad that I choose is the product of "Carbtrim". Carbtrim (powdered tea) is a carb-blocking product in a refreshing iced tea drink. It says that these product block up to 66% of carbohydrate. It contains Phase 2 White Kidney Bean Extract which is clinically proven with 24 published/ research studies.

I think that the propaganda technique of these print-ad is "Fact and Figures Statistics" because it shows the results when you use or drink this product. One of the target audience is mostly women. It encourage you to buy this product because it is safe and clinically proven to prevent or eliminate of fats.

In terms of technicality, It shows one model and the product with splash of water. Pink is used in color background because I think it represent love and nurture. Pink is represent FEMINISM. It creates desire to make you believe you need it or want it. The design is very simple and it use software such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.

That's all :)

Makulay (knorr) TVC

Last Friday, I did a review about the commercial of Biolink. For now, a make a review about the TV commercial of Knorr titled "Makulay". Watch this commercial below:

-Makulay ang Buhay (knorr) TVC



 This is one of the famous TV commercial in the Philippines and this is popular among children because of its jingle. It is easy to sing the lyrics and the dance steps. In this commercial, It features Nash Aguas, Sharlene San Pedro and Aaron Junatas (the three popular child stars before). The purpose of this commercial is to encourage all children to eat vegetables especially of the children that hate vegetables. The trademark phrase 'Makulay ang buhay sa sinabawang gulay' promotes the nutritional gain children will get from eating vegetables. It shows in this TVC, the children hate eating vegetables but when they know about the "sinabawang gulay", the children are happy,fun, and they enjoyed eating vegetables because of the product of knorr. Tt promotes their product (Knorr) because when you put this to your food, the food is going to be delicious. Hahaha :)

This TV commercial is very nice because of the nutritional value and it deserves to watch this to all not only the children but also the adult. In this commercial helps the parents to guide the children to eat vegetables to keep healthy body. They have an opportunity to be popular of their product because of the TVC and many people buy for this product. In terms of technicality, many children are shown in the TVC  including the three popular child stars. I think they use Chroma key compositing, or chroma keying (green- screen) because of the effects and backgrounds and they use some software to be more adorable and nice commercial. The background is like a background of a nursery rhymes videos. Thumbs up! Very nice and cute :)

That's all :D

TVC (BIOLINK)

Hello Guys! Last time, I did a review about the TVC of camella homes titled "Sikip". For now I am doing a review about the commercial of Biolink VCO Hot Oil & Shampoo titled "Virgin" and one of the funny TVC in the Philippines. It is simple and quick but there are 2 version of this commercial. Watch this commercial below:

-First version (Biolink)
-Second version (Biolink)

Many beauty care products usually beautiful or gorgeous ladies seen in the commercials but this is different because it shows that the ladies are not good looking and gorgeous. It shows four plain-looking ladies with beautiful, shiny and smooth black hair as well as a man endowed with the same impressive straight hair. This TVC has a great element of surprise that will make you laugh. When I watch this TVC, I expect that the facing the back ladies are gorgeous and beautiful but I made a mistake because when they look forward, the ladies are not good looking and the last is not a lady, it's a man! hahaha!

Besides funny or witty, it encourage you to buy this care product even you are a good or not good looking (peace :P). When you use this product, it gives hair a very smooth and shiny appearance and it would like the ladies hair in the commercial. In terms of technicality, it had one venue only. It had minimal of actor/ actress in this commercial. It is very quickly TVC because the time is only 18 seconds. They are use one camera movement which is the "panning".

The TVC is nice!
That's all :)

Scene TVC (BIOLINK)

SIKIP (Camella Homes) TV ads.

Do you remember this ad?

The commercial titled “sikip”, a cute TV advertising commercial of Camella Homes featuring Cha-cha Cañete (Filipina child actress). It was release in the year 2009. It is adorable commercial I’ve ever seen.  One of the best television commercial in the Philippines. Camella Homes is a real estate company providing affordable homes in the Philippines. This advertising shows that Cha-cha is a lovely little girl who thinks that they are still living in a tiny and old house. She can’t stretch their body but realizes that indeed already living in a new and big house so she doesn’t need to move like that anyone at the end of these TV ads. The song/ jingle of this ad titled “bulilit” were become popular among Filipinos especially for the kids. There are many spoof/ parody videos in these commercial. Not only is the commercial nice but also the meaning of the story. In our society, many people wish that we have their own simple and big house someday.

In this commercial, it is very simple but unique. Many different basic shots in this TV advertising. They follow the rules in creating commercial. It is very clean and adorable. It shows the very beautiful and new house of Camella Homes. To encourage people to settle these affordable homes of Camella. It never ceases to catch his attention. When I hear or I watch this commercial, I expressing overwhelming happiness because of the cute song/jingle. Their mission is to attract people to be famous their commercial and to have a customer who are willing to this home brand .

Brand Commercial (FITA)

One of the humorous television commercial here in the Philippines is the “Fita” commercial titled “Kahilingan”. It was released October 2003. It shows the importance of giving and sharing to others. It shows the kindness of the man. It is popular this commercial ad to all Filipino people who they watch this because of the funny storyline. In the situation, a man sitting on a bench while eating “fita” (famous Filipino brand). After that, the man gives a little girl sitting on the same bench in a piece of biscuit. Then the old beggar sits beside on him and asks for a piece of biscuit but the man confuse because he have one piece of biscuit left and if he give a piece of biscuit or a half of biscuit. So he cuts into a half and he gives one half to the old beggar. After the old beggar eat a half biscuit, she transform to a beautiful fairy. The fairy told the man that in reward for being a kind person, he shall be granted any wish. The man asks for a red sports car and the fairy agrees for the man’s wish. So the red sports car drops out of the sky. The man shock because it is not a complete car, it was just a half car.

As what I noticed that the television commercial is very funny, famous because of its humor and nice commercial even though it's old. They follow the rules in creating television commercial. This is unrealistic because of the fairy and it is similar to the fiction cartoon animation, movies and so on. I thought that "what you give is what you get/receive". In Filipino daily life, some of the people are being so kind-hearted to others. In overall of this ad, it is classic, very simple, the different shots in this video is very clean, rule of thirds and so on. It thought and planned it because they can watch this to all people especially children. It caught their attention adding its humor resulted to a commercial.
 

Review for Old and New Advertisement (BF/GF commercial in McDonnalds and Ariel)

Scene by the McDo's commercial "Bf/Gf"

Commercial is a classified message in radio, magazines, newspapers, billboards, fliers and television. It is for announcement to sell a product or service. I choose one advertisement in the Philippines (print ads or commercial) to review.
(OLD)
Do you know the commercial of McDonald’s having a little girl and boy in a GF/BF theme? Well, it has become popular and controversy because of the message in television commercial’s story line. It is banned by Catholic Church. It is stopped the airing of this commercial. The Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines is being hit by criticisms. People are saying they should mind their own business, and let MTRCB do their job in screening commercials and programs shown on television. In the situation, the girl asks a boy if she could be his girlfriend. But the boy said that he doesn’t want to because the entire girlfriend now is too demanding.  So the girl said that she wants to have a McDo Fries.

In these TV commercials, as an artist, I’ve seen that it is nice because of the different basic shots in the video and it’s very simple but the story is not good for me. They follow the rules in creating commercial. The actor/ actress are very talented and as a very young age, they know how to act. They can be a nice artist (actor/ actress).

Some reactions of the people that they watch this advertisement are having some positive and negative comments or reviews. Some comments is too unique and cute but it is very shallow. It is too young to do this thing. People keep saying that they are just kids and let the commercial be. For me, it is failed because many kids are seen this advertisement so it is have a chance to simulate this of some kids. This is not so good values.  In making an advert/commercial, you have to be aware, have planned, review and think of what you are going to do in a positive way  and must have the right values for children. They might discuss what the tone of the message is, how did it grab the audience’s attention, and what video did the commercial use and so on.

scene by the TV commercial of Ariel

(NEW)
Ariel (7.50) was a popular and has become viral of this television commercial in the Philippines. It features the Filipino mothers washing their clothes using the the product of Ariel. For now, it is "high-end" pricing strategy because formely this product is so expensive compare to the other brand/product. It shown in this TV commercial that the mothers are dancing while washing their clothes.I notice that they not use "Washing Machine"  element in the commercial.
It is very entertaining but some people said/comment that this is annoying. 

Contemporary Art

There are many things to be considered in making an art work. An idea is not enough. Rhythm, color, harmony and texture are some of the basic elements of art  that could be given importance. An effective artist should be well knowledgeable about the principles involving the use of proper color, or how to choose texture into the art, how to create harmony and how to put rhythm. He should also know about the form of art he is using.
 
What is Contemporary Art?
 Contemporary art refers to art made and produced by artists living today. Today's artists work in and respond to a global environment that is culturally diverse, multifaceted, and technologically advancing. Working in a wide range of mediums, contemporary artists often reflect and comment on modern-day society. Since the early 20th century, some artists have turned away from realistic representation and the depiction of the human figure, and have moved increasingly towards abstraction. In New York City after World War II, the art world coined the term "abstract expressionism" to characterize an art movement that was neither completely abstract, nor expressionistic. Nevertheless, the movement challenged artists to place more emphasis on the process of making art rather than the final product.

Contemporary art is content about abstract expressionism, minimal art, figurative painting, pop art, hyper realism, optical painting, neo- expressionism, feminist art, ephemeral art, video art, digital art, sculptures, and architectures.

Contemporary artists working within the postmodern movement reject the concept of mainstream art and embrace the notion of "artistic pluralism," the acceptance of a variety of artistic intentions and styles. Whether influenced by or grounded in performance art, pop art, Minimalism, conceptual art, or video, contemporary artists pull from an infinite variety of materials, sources, and styles to create art. For this reason, it is difficult to briefly summarize and accurately reflect the complexity of concepts and materials used by contemporary artists. This overview highlights a few of the contemporary artists whose work is on view at the Getty Museum and the concepts they explore in their work.

The Early Years (1901-2000)

Art goes with the changes of the world. If there are developments and improvements in science and technology, art is also went through these changes. Art goes with the evolution of time thus creating the so called "Modern Art". Modern Art means art of the contemporary period or art of the modern time. These arts already possessed new styles and were done using new and more advanced methods which can be totally different from the conservative form of arts. It was the French painter Paul Cezanne, who made the first breakthrough in modern art. He changed the shapes of his object if necessary and he used bright colors.
Many modern artists followed Cezzane and left some of the traditional techniques of art. From the 20th century up to present, art has different forms.
-Impressionism                                    
-Post-Impressionism
-Fauvism
-Neo Impressionism or Pointilism
-Cubism
-Dadaism and Fantasy
-Surrealism
-Futurism
-Non-objective or Neo plasticism
-Abstract Expressionism
-Optical Art
-Pop Art

There are so many artworks of different artist with their styles of art in this era. The most favorite and inspired of my style of art in this era is the Fauvism and Surrealism.

MODERN ART

Modern art is usually refers to works produced during the approximate period 1860's-1970's. Painting, sculpture, architecture, and graphic arts characteristic of the 20th and 21st centuries and of the later part of the 19th century. Modern art embraces a wide variety of movements, theories, and attitudes whose modernism resides particularly in a tendency to reject traditional, historical, or academic forms and conventions in an effort to create an art more in keeping with changed social, economic, and intellectual conditions. The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation. Modern artists experimented with new ways of seeing and with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art. A tendency away from the narrative, which was characteristic for the traditional arts, toward abstraction is characteristic of much modern art. There are many subject maters in this era. In Neoclassicism is about mythology, history and literature. In Romanticism is about landscapes, people, revolution, and peace. In Realism is about ordinary people and landscapes. In Post- Impressionism is about still life, portrait, exotic locations, landscapes and interior. In Impressionism is about nature, still life, scene in everyday life and the city of Paris. Modern art begins with the heritage of painters like Paul Cézanne, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat and Vincent van Gogh all of whom were essential for the development of modern art. Modern Art also witnessed the emergence of new media, like Photography.

Art Beyond The West

Coatlicue

This Era, Art Beyond The West is about the history, traditions and cultures and they tour the different artworks and architecture in Africa, America, China, Japan and India. The overall predominant styles in their art are the following:
-Realism
- Symbolism
-Abstractionism
-Naturalism

The Subject Matter:
-Shrines
-Religious Tribe
-People

It shows the different artwork styles from the earliest times to the present. Some of the earliest rock

art in Africa and Australia predates the famous Paleolithic cave paintings in France and Spain. The Indus Valley Civilization, Shang-dynasty China, and the earliest Native American ritual centers in South America were contemporaneous with New Kingdom Egypt and early Babylonia in

Mesopotamia. The ancient, pre-Islamic traditions in the arts of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and adjacent lands along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea lie beyond the West, but they played important roles in the development of Western art in antiquity and they are usually included in

studies of Western art. Directly or indirectly, these and other ancient non-Western civilizations gave birth to the cultures and art styles, many of which represent cultural ideas that remain vital forces in the modern world. Some early Asian cultures coalesced into large states or confederacies, as in India and China, while the cultural units in Africa, the Pacific Islands, and Native America generally
remained smaller and were organized more discretely around regional leaders and deities. But all of these groups, large and small, celebrated their identities through the arts, with religious rituals that often included prayers, song, dance, chants, architecture, elaborate forms of costuming, monumental art and portable art forms. Together, these non-Western cultures represent the majority of the land, people, and works of art produced around the world from prehistoric times to the present day, and some of them are poised to become leaders in the international art world of the twenty-first century.

The most favorite in Art Beyond the West is the Art style in Japan because the paintings is relaxing and mild, it is simple but nice and their artworks is based in Nature.  

BAROCCO "Baroque"

The term Baroque probably ultimately derived from the Italian word "barocco", which philosophers used during the Middle Ages to describe an obstacle in schematic logic. Subsequently the word came to denote any contorted idea or involuted process of thought. Another possible source is the Portuguese word barroco (Spanish barrueco), used to describe an irregular or imperfectly shaped pearl, and this usage still survives in the jeweler’s term baroque pearl. Baroque art above all reflected the religious tensions of the age - notably the desire of the Catholic Church in Rome (as annunciated at the Council of Trent, 1545-63) to reassert itself in the wake of the Protestant Reformation. Thus it is almost synonymous with Catholic Counter-Reformation Art of the period.

Baroque art is like the 4th era, the Renaissance art but there are different:Time

-Renaissance artists like Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raphael Sanzio, and Leonardo Da Vinci are more famous than Baroque masters Bernini and Caravaggio.
-Renaissance art began early in the 1400s, while Baroque came later in the 1600s.
-Renaissance art works did not completely depict human emotion, while Baroque art focused more on showing them.

The most important characteristic of Baroque art:

-Time 

-Motion

-Drama

-Space

-Light and Shadow

Subject matter:

- Religious

-Mythological

-Superstitious

Predominant Style:

- Classicism

- Realism

- Naturalism

Many Catholic Emperors and monarchs across Europe had an important stake in the Catholic Church's success, hence a large number of architectural designs, paintings and sculptures were commissioned by the Royal Courts of Spain, France, and elsewhere - in parallel to the overall campaign of Catholic Christian art, pursued by the Vatican - in order to glorify their own divine grandeur, and in the process strengthen their political position. By comparison, Baroque art in Protestant areas like Holland had far less religious content, and instead was designed essentially to appeal to the growing aspirations of the merchant and middle classes.

Catholic-inspired Baroque art tended to be large-scale works of public art, such as monumental wall-paintings and huge frescoes for the ceilings and vaults of palaces and churches. Baroque painting illustrated key elements of Catholic dogma, either directly in Biblical works or indirectly in mythological or allegorical compositions. Along with this monumental, high-minded approach, painters typically portrayed a strong sense of movement, using swirling spirals and upward diagonals, and strong sumptuous color schemes, in order to dazzle and surprise. New techniques of chiaroscuro (is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition.) and tenebrism (is a style of painting using very pronounced chiaroscuro, where there are violent contrasts of light and dark, and where darkness becomes a dominating feature of the image.) were developed to enhance atmosphere.

Trompe l'oeil

-a style of painting in which things are painted in a way that makes them look like real objects.

-something that misleads or deceives the senses : illusion.

This era are so nice and amazing, this is like the renaissance but the baroque is unique than the renaissance because the paintings have motion, drama and so on. Some paintings is about "feminism" or the scene about women, "nude" and brutal scene.

REVIVAL ART: RENAISSANCE

Renaissance Art- (Rebirth/ Revive Art) sculpture, painting, literature, music and architecture produced during the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries in Europe under the combined influences of an increased awareness of nature, a revival of classical learning, and a more individualistic view of man.

Subject Matter: 

- People

- Religion

Predominant Style:              
- Realism
- Naturalism
- Symbolism
-Idealism

Medium:
- Bronze
- Marble
- Canvas
- Wood
-Tempera
- Oil
- Fresco (Plaster)

The period immediately following the Middle Ages in Europe saw a great revival of interest in the classical learning and values of ancient Greece and Rome. Against a backdrop of political stability and growing prosperity, the development of new technologies–including the printing press, a new system of astronomy and the discovery and exploration of new continents–was accompanied by a flowering of philosophy, literature and especially art. 

The origins of Renaissance art can be traced to Italy in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. During this so-called “proto-Renaissance” period (1280-1400), Italian scholars and artists saw themselves as reawakening to the ideals and achievements of classical Roman culture. Writers such as Petrarch (1304-1374) and Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375) looked back to ancient Greece and Rome and sought to revive the languages, values and intellectual traditions of those cultures after the long period of stagnation that had followed the fall of the Roman Empire in the sixth century.

Arts flourished during the height of humanism and Renaissance in Italy. Notable artists in Italy include Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Sanzio, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Donatello, Tintoretto, Bernini, Caravaggio and Titian. 

Leonardo Da Vinci

Rome is home to scientific geeks in the past. Leonardo da Vinci, apart from being consummate artist is also an advanced thinker (genius). He already had daring speculators on hydrology, meteorology, anatomy, and geology. Advances in astronomy and physics were pioneered by Guglielmo Marconi, Alessandro Volta and Galileo Galilei.

The Renaissance in Italy bought to the country noble ideas and great literary insights. The period of the High Renaissance produced men of highly exceptional genius and talents. 

My artwork skill influence to this era is the subject matter: Humans, Portrait, style: realism and idealism. The artworks of this 4th era is more detailed, realistic, and the famous artist are very amazing, very creative, and very wonderful artwork. 

In the picture below, this is the famous painter in High Renaissance: 

Sanzio

Da Vinci

Buonarroti

Christian Art

Christian art is a religious art which uses imagery and themes from Christianity. It is based in architecture of the churches, cathedrals, and basilica.
In Christian art, there are have Christian Periods: Early Christian, Byzantine, Early Middle Ages, Romanesque, and Gothic Art. In Early Christian Art, divided into two periods: The Period of Persecution (Christians had to worship in secret) and Period of Recognition (Christians started to building places to worship). Catacombs- is the underground burial place.

Catacombs

The most important churches in Early Christian is the "Old St. Peter's Basilica". 

Constantine adopted Christianity as the faith of the Roman empire.

 

Byzantine  Art is comes from the city of Byzantium where Constantine ( a Roman Emperor) made his capital, Constantinople.

 

Constantine

In Byzantine Architecture, the most important example is the " San Vitale Ravena"( it is located on the Adriatic coast of Italy). It is built during Justinian's reign and one of the most elaborate buildings decorated in the byzantine style.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      

San Vitale, Ravena

     

Hagia Sophia- Built for Emperor Justinian
(Anthemius of Trales and Isidorus of Miletus)- Church of Holy Wisdom.

Early Middle Ages

Many works of Christian art from the Early middle ages combine characteristics of the small carvings and metal work of these warrior tribes with the symbol of christian faith. 

A carpet page from the Lindisfarne Gospels (illuminated manuscript- hand- decorated pages of text).

 

There a few civilizations going on in Medieval times: The Carolingian Art (comes from the frankish empire in the period of roughly 120 years from about 780 to 900 during the reign of Charlemagne) and Ottonian Art (refers to the three rulers named Otto who stabilized the Holy Roman Empire the disuptions followig Charlemagnes death).

The most important example in architecture in Carolingian Art is the "Palatine Chapel of Charlemagne" and in Ottonian art is the "St. Michael's in Hildesheim"/

.

Gothic Period dates from the 12th and 13th century. It was a negative term first used by historians because it was believed that the barbaric Goths were responsible for the style of this period.

Romanesque refers to the art of Europe from approximately 1000 AD to the rise of the Gothic style in the 13th century, or later, depending on region.The preceding period is increasingly known as the Pre-Romanesque.

The architecture of churches, cathedrals, and basilica was so amazing and beautiful, internal or external.  

 

Greek and Roman Art

Classical Art is the artistic legacy of Greece and Rome with has influences almost all of Western Art. They show the importance of people & leaders and the importance of gods & Goddesses. The Religion and culture in Greek Art, the Greeks believed in living the perfect life. They believed that a variety of different Gods controlled different aspects of every person’s destiny on earth. They believed these gods acted in every human ways and had great respect and fear for them. Many architecture and works of art were created about different Gods and so on.  Many nice sculptures, vases and the architecture are there in Greek Art like the following:

Dipylon Vase

Women Working on a Loom

François Vase

The Falling Warrior and The Dying Warior

Diskobolus

The Parthenon

and many more.

     Roman art combined needs, native talents, and styles, especially Greek. It was fashionable to own copies of Greek art. In Roman, the biggest contribution was the architecture. The span of their empire was vast, and examples of their architectural style can be seen all over Eastern Europe.

Roman art is less idealized and less religious than Greek art. It was heavily influenced by Greek art and it was more commemorative.

The purpose of Roman art is to create a record of Roman history and to celebrate and show off the power and might of the empire and emperor. 

These are the works of the Roman Art:

Head of a Roman

Pont du Gard

Temple of Fortuna Virilis

The Colosseum

Augustus of Primaporta

Head of Constantine

and many more.

    For me, the most amazing is the sculpture in Greek and Rome because it is very unique, very realistic and idealism, and perfect.
