BLOG #4: The rebirth of art

Renaissance begins in the period of 14th-17th century in some part of Italy and later on it's spreading out in Europe which is trending the ideas of being a naturalism style.

Some of their artworks,paintings and architectures are famous and until now are still recognized by some other people. I thought this period will be so boring when it will be discussing but when Masa's Group discuss it and detailed it in order, I was enlightened about it. Famous artists arose during this period like Raphael Sanzio who painted the "School of Athen", Michaelangelo Buonarroti who painted "The Pieta" and Leonardo da Vinci who's the most famous of them all and painted the "Mona Lisa" that has many speculations and rumors about that painting. The regression of an arts in this time was very progressive because many famous artist existed and of course their artworks also. Just like Classical and Christian arts, Renaissance also express naturalism style and very idealism. That time they're thinking very creativity. They doing so well and they are all very admirable. All of their paintings are not so easy to do or to paint because it's not so easy to have a paint that they used and to think very creativity ideas, unless you are also an artist like them. Many tricks and techniques also trend that time, like chiaroscuro, optical illusion which is just only like the 3D dimension effect into the eye and many more.

"Great effort is required to arrest decay and restore vigor. 
One must exercise proper deliberation, plan carefully before making a move, and be alert in guarding against relapse following a renaissance."

BLOG # 3: Christianity is LOVE

This period is very interesting. Why? Because I love the way how Christians fight for their rights. I really don't get why some other people opposed the Christianity, but of course they didn't succeed.

Many of there works are really amazing especially the sculpture and architecture of there times, I love the church and cathedral they made and the paintings are also inspirational.
 As you can see in this period is all about religious art or sacred art just because this is the time when they really want to show that Christian can also exist in this universe and of course because God made universe for us to spread the love and goodness to others.

Until now we adopt and maintain the Christian Art to show respect to God. All of us have the same God. We have only one God even we have a lot of religion in this universe, only one God can give us true love.

BLOG # 2: “The conquered became the conquerors, and the conquerors became the conquered.”

When it talks about Classical Period the first thing that comes to my mind is the Romans and Greece which were the Romans conquered Greece and adapt the culture of Greek people. But the Greek culture remained.
Ancient Architecture in Greece and Rome are also considered classical art works.

Classical period in short tells about the REALISTIC of there culture. Sculpture and architecture is particularly what we can see in this period. They also favorable when it comes in jewelries, weapons and fibulae (ancient brooch) but only rich people can afford this such things.
Classical Arts influence us by being a realistic because the purpose of that is appreciate of something you earned an effort.
Even if that art work is broken or destroyed, still they appreciate and recognize it being an real art work.

All in all they value all the art works even if it's too old or broken.
They are Sentimental.
