 Each artwork have a different purpose and will be explain as we go through the artwork

Although my knowledge towards art  is very limited but there are still some work which I am in love with.There are artists such as George Braque and Pablo picasso's Cubism have got my attention, and I have tried many times to reconstruct the cubic art, but failed.After some hard time of doing sketches eventually I have chosen these 3 sketches out of 18 sketches.

Art of my choice-Cubism

There are tremendous type of Art Movement.I have clicked into some of the Art Movement but eventually I have decided to choose Cubism because the way the artists' work had my attention.



History of Cubism


At the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the European cultural elite were discovering African, Micronesian and Native American art for the first time. Artists such as George Braque and Pablo Picasso were intrigued and inspired by the stark power and simplicity of styles of those foreign cultures. Around 1906, Picasso met Matisse through Gertrude Stein, at a time when both artists had recently acquired an interest in primitivsm, beriansculpture, African art and African tribal masks. They became friendly rivals and competed with each other throughout their careers, perhaps leading to Picasso entering a new period in his work by 1907, marked by the influence of Greek, Iberian and African art. Picasso's paintings of 1907 have been characterized as Protocubism.

Within the first two decades of the 20th century, a new art movement began that was unlike any other—Cubism.

What is Cubism?


Cubism was one of the first truly modern movements to emerge in art. It evolved during a period of heroic and rapid innovation between Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.Unlike traditional still-lifes, landscapes, or portrait paintings, Cubist paintings aren’t meant to be realistic or life-like in any way. Instead, after looking at the subject from every possibly angle, the artist will piece together fragments from different vantage points into one painting.


Most Cubist works are immediately recognizable due to their flattened, nearly two-dimensional appearance; an inclusion of geometric angles, lines, and shapes; and a fairly neutral color palette.

As the movement evolved, color, texture, and graphic elements (like text) were added, to the point where later Cubist works often appeared more like collage than anything else. But Cubism wasn’t just a specific “style” or “look”—it actually allowed artists an entirely different way of seeing and depicting real-life objects.

                                            Nude Descending a Staircase

In doing this, the artist is attempting to give a fuller, more detailed explanation of the subject—breaking past barriers of space and time, like in the famous painting by Marcel Duchamp entitled Nude Descending a Staircase (seen above.)

Synthetic Cubism on the other hand was a natural extension of Analytic Cubism. Instead of breaking a subject down into pieces, it involved assembling pieces already available into a collage. Here’s an example by Georges Braque-Tenora

                                             Tenora by Georges Braque

As you can see, Synthetic Cubism is still fairly geometric, and some pieces (like this one) incorporate traditional media as well as found objects.

Famous Cubist Artists

The most famous Cubist is probably Picasso, followed by Georges Braque, even though he was just as instrumental as Picasso was in founding Cubism.

Paul Cézanne (although not a part of the Cubist movement himself) is often credited with sparking Braque’s first attempts at painting a Cubist landscape. Cézanne’s paintings separated objects into basic shapes—cubes and spheres, mostly—which directly led to Cubism’s use of fractured, geometric planes.

Other Cubist artists include Jaun Gris (whose work seems to almost bridge Cubism with Art Deco) and artists like Marcel Duchamp (whose artwork actually spanned a variety of styles and movements).

You can see some of the Art Deco similarities in The Guitar, by Jaun Gris, below.

Nowadays, Cubism seems like just another facet of abstract art, but in reality, it came first—and it directly influenced most of the abstract art of the 20th century.

In fact, it’s nearly impossible to imagine the 20th century without Cubism, Picasso and the others.It would be a very different world of art than the one we know.

Perceptual Art Vs Conceptual Art

In our daily life, we do encounter art but ART has categorized in 2 types of art which is perceptual art and conceptual art.As below:


Perceptual Art

In practice, perceptual art may be interpreted as the engagement of multi-sensory experiential stimuli combined with the multiplicity of interpretive meanings on the part of an observer. Sometimes, the role of observer is obscured as members of the public may unwittingly or unknowingly be participants in the creation of the artwork itself. It is very often what is generally called performance art.
Optical Illusions is one of Perceptual Art which give different perception views.
Here are some examples:


                     The rows of black and white squares are all parallel.
                 The vertical zigzag patterns disrupt our horizontal perception.

There are no gray spots at the corners of the squares.

Conceptual Art

Now, let's go to conceptual art.Basically,conceptual art provides images which gives the concept that is intended.In conceptual art, the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.

Here are some examples:

Basically,perceptual art is about sensory stimulation and conceptual is about ideas & thoughts.

About Myself

Hi peeps,my name is Ang jhing chuan but you can call me Adam..Previously I do blog because it seems like a trend but now it's deadLOL.Well, this is my 2nd semester in HELP doing Mass Communication majored in Marketing Communication.

Currently, I am doing freelance-part time jobs in modelling. Well, everyone has a dream job, mine is being a pilot.I like to travel a lot,seriously.

Intro to Design-well, this a quite challenging subject to me because I am not good in Art but I think is a good thing for me since I can learn new things.I hope I can learn more in designing thru this class.I shall stop here.Cheers.
