Introduction People began creating art a long, long, long, time ago, before Christ was born. It would take too long to look at all the different types of art from all over the world so we won’t even try! Instead this booklet will take you through a journey of some of the most important art movements, styles and artists there have ever been. Hopefully with each turning page you will learn a little bit more about how and why art is created and how each artist and style of art links to the one before and the one after, just like links in a chain.

Gothic comes from the word Goths who were ‘barbarians’ that invaded the Roman Empire between the 3rd and 5th centuries. Mainly an architectural movement, which started in Italy Gothic architecture spread through France, England, Germany and Northern Spain. and can be recognised in the pointed arches of cathedrals. With the introduction of thinner walls, stained glass started to be seen in the cathedrals and churches. Durham Cathedral has Gothic arches and stain glass windows. Notre Dame Cathedral is said to be one of the best examples of Gothic Architecture. Sculptures, illuminated manuscripts and metalwork, were all part of this era and were long lasting, thus can still be seen today. The style’s main theme was religion and many of the smaller sculptures were of the Virgin Mary and Child. Paintings were much rarer but were still on the same theme.

The word manuscript comes from the Latin manu scriptum which translated means ‘written with hands’

Medieval Gothic 1100 - 1400 Task 1: Gothic artists often used ‘Illuminated Letters’ as decoration in manuscripts. Look at the examples below and then design your own illuminated letters using your initials.

Task 2: Gothic architecture was often used for religious buildings such as churches, abbeys and cathedrals. Draw and colour your own design for a stained glass window in a Gothic church.

Medieval Gothic 1100 - 1400 Task 3: Gothic architects often used stone carvings of mythical, fantasy creatures on the outside of the buildings to ward away evil spirits. These were called ’gargoyles’ or ’grotesques’, the difference being that water would spout from the open mouths of the gargoyles (almost like a drain pipe!) whereas the grotesques were just for decoration.

The word “Renaissance� means rebirth. The artists wanted to create realistic paintings and sculptures like the ancient Greeks and Romans did. So the Renaissance artists continued to paint in the realistic style until 1600s. The Renaissance began in Italy and soon spread to England, Germany, France, Poland, Spain and the Netherlands. They created a lot of portraits and religious paintings. Their work was more realistic than the Romans and ancient Greeks and to do this they used perspective and learned how the human body moved by studying it and how its muscles worked, to make their paintings much more accurate.

People studied the books from ancient Greece and Rome and used the information to make scientific discoveries. Leonardo Da Vinci sketched many ideas such as the first flying machine, many, many years before man first flew.

Leonardo Da Vinci (1452—1519) Leonardo lived and worked during the Renaissance. Da Vinci was not his last name, it meant Leonardo from Vinci (Italy). As well as being a master painter he was a scientist, researcher, inventor, engineer and musician. As a teenager he became an apprentice to Andrea del Verrocchio, who was a well known painter, goldsmith and sculptor, with a large studio and many apprentices. At 20 years old Leonardo became as good an artist as his teacher and decided to open his own studio and take on his own apprentices. In 1482 he moved to Milan and worked for the ruling family: Sforzas. Leonardo’s famous work The Last Supper (1496 to 1498) was painted at this time in the rectory of the Dominican Convent of Santa Maria Delle Grazie. However he was experimenting with a new fresco (painting on wet plaster) technique and the painting deteriorated quickly. Before it was finished Leonardo had problems with flaking paint and had to repair it. Over time it has been vandalised, bombed and restored to the point that very little of the original painting remains. He returned to Florence (near Vinci) for 8 years and then back to Milan where the King of France let him paint whatever he wanted to. Leonardo had ambitions to paint for the Pope so moved to Rome in 1513, but there were already many great artists working for him including Michelangelo. The King of France bought him a small castle in which he lived until he died. Anything he painted he studied in great detail to make his paintings as realistic as possible. Leonardo was also a great inventor who designed many things including aircraft and the first armoured tank. Task 1: Research the inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci • Produce at least one sheet showing images and explaining in your own words, some of his inventions that interest you. • Add a title “Leonardo Da Vinci Inventions” • Put the websites on the bottom of your sheet from where you found the • information. • Put your name and form in a footer on your work • Make sure you save your work and print it off. • This can then be added to your timeline booklet.

Baroque 1600 –1700s The word “Baroque” means uneven pearl This period began in Rome when both the Catholic church and the protestants where trying to spread their beliefs. The Catholic church decided to promote their faith with art as the majority of people could not read.

A RT I ST S

The church wanted biblical scenes painted just like the Renaissance artists had done. The artists used real people to model for their paintings. The Baroque artists often painted pictures with very dark backgrounds and bright scenes or objects They experimented with colour, detail and depth in their work. The style was very elaborate and used in many buildings including the very expensive Palace of Versailles built by Louis XIV of France.

The Baroque style was associated with wealth and power.

Extra note: Sir Isaac Newton and Galileo were around at this time and worked within science, maths, movement and inventions.

Baroque 1600 –1700s Task 1: Many painters from the Baroque era used bible stories as their inspiration. Look at the following images and match them up to their title/artist and story:

Painting ______

A. The betrayal of Christ by Caravaggio Which tells of Judas kissing Jesus so that the guards knew who to arrest. B. The Return of the Prodigal Son by Rembrandt Which tells of a man who returns home to his father and asks for forgiveness after he has wasted all of his money.

Moses Smashes the Stone Tablet by Rembrandt C. Which tells of Moses becoming angry and smashing the stone tablets when he came down from the mountain . Christ on the Cross Between Two Thieves by Rubens D. Which tells of Christ being hung on the cross between two thieves. One says he’s sorry and goes to heaven the other doesn't believe in Jesus and goes to hell.

Baroque 1600 –1700s Task 2: Choose a bible story which you know well and retell it briefly in 6 main bullet points:

Task 3: Draw your own image which shows one of the bullet points from your chosen story in task 2.

Romanticism 1800 -1850 S IS T T R A ner TIC Tur AN d i M Dav RO ner per Tur e. Cas W JM Blak liam table l i W ns ya n Co Joh isco Go ix nc acro Fra Del e n e Eug

The Romantic artists were working at the time of the industrial revolution. These artists were trying to get away from the poverty and pain of the machines taking over their jobs. It was a time of peace after many years of wars, when many new ideas and hopes where being born. They focused on emotions, imagination, creativity, life and human nature. The Romantics believed in the freedom of the individual and they lived life to the full. Their paintings tried to show a more pleasant, natural view of life. The Romantic artists of different countries had different ideas e.g. some of the German artists saw painting as a way to worship God. Whereas the French saw nature as a substitute for God. In England, J.M.W. Turner was known as the artist who painted light and showed dramatic movement in his Paintings. John Constable wanted to make landscape paintings as important as history paintings and for people to feel the splendour of nature. He paid a lot of attention to the clouds.

Extra note: Others that were around at this time included: Mozart, Beethoven and the BrontÊs’. Political figures included: Nelson, Napoleon, Wellington and Washington.

Romanticism 1800 -1850 Task 1: The Romantic painters used pictures to help people imagine they were out of the towns and cities and were in more pleasant surroundings like the countryside or seaside. It also helped them forget about the horrors of the war and feel more at peace. Writers use ADJECTIVES to do a similar job, as these are describing words which put clear images in the readers head and help them imagine they are somewhere else. Now complete the boxes below with appropriate adjectives. Write down 10 adjectives to describe the sea in this picture.

Die Mole Von Calais— JMW Turner, 1804

Write down 10 adjectives to describe this countryside scene.

Salisbury Cathedral From The Meadows— John Constable, 1831

Write down 10 adjectives which describe the sky in this picture.

Woman Before The Setting Sun— Caspar David Friedrich, 1820

Romanticism 1800 -1850 Task 2: William Blake was a romantic poet as well as a romantic painter. Here is part of one of his poems. Read it aloud then draw and colour the image which he puts into your head.

I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

coco 1700— The term Rococo comes form the French word rocaille, meaning the rockery and shell work. This style was mainly seen in architecture and furniture and then in silver, glass, ceramics and all decorative arts. It was a bit more light hearted and fun and showed lots of scrolls and curves. The wealthy in Paris took the Rococo style and made their gardens look like natural grottos and dells. Many paintings show very calm, natural and relaxed poses of couples surrounded by angelic, cherubs. The artists took the figures into a fantasy world of the models imaginations. There was a lightness depicted by the use of delicate pastel colours in the work which was very atmospheric and light hearted.

Rococo 1700—1800 The Palace of Versailles has many examples of the Rococo style both inside and out.

Task 1: See how many words, with three or more letters, you can create using the words PALACE OF VERSAILLES.

Task 2: Look at the examples and then design your own Rococo style mirror frame.

Raphaelites 1848 – This movement was small and was made up of 7 British artists. It was called the Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB). They did not like the art of their time and wanted to influence a change in it. They wished to return to the style of the Flemish and Italian artists which showed great detail, colours and complicated compositions. The PRB used real life models to pose for their paintings and were inspired by great writers such as Shakespeare, Tennyson and Keats. The colours came from dyes that had up until then been used in the cloth industry. Many of their paintings had stories behind them, sometimes very sad ones. Many of the paintings had symbolic meanings in them, hidden in the little details in the backgrounds and surroundings of the main figures. The movement only lasted five years, however it greatly influenced the artists and movements that followed, such as William Morris.

Extra note: Black and white photography was around at this time and had an impact on the detail in Hunt’s work

Pre Raphaelites 1848 –1854 ‘Ophelia’

painted by John Everett Millais in 1851.

To create this painting of ‘Ophelia’ Millais used various shades of brown, purple and green. If you want to copy this painting you will need to work out the percentage of the primary colours you need for each shade. Example: 10% yellow + 30% blue + ______% red = Brown 10% + 30% = 40% 100% - 40% = 60% Therefore the answer is 60% red. Now work out these percentages yourself. A. ______% red + 74% blue = Purple B. 56% red + ______% blue = Purple C. 15% red + ______% blue = Purple D. 49% yellow + ______% blue = Green E. 77% yellow + ______% blue = Green F. ______% yellow + 62% blue = Green G. 23% yellow + 35% blue + _____% red = Brown H. ______% yellow + 24% blue + 60% red = Brown I. 62% yellow + ______% blue + 21% red = Brown

Pre Raphaelites 1848 –1854 Task 2: To create the painting the model, Elizabeth Siddal, had to spend many hours laid in the bathtub. Just imagine this is a typical week for Elizabeth: Monday— 9 hours

Friday— 7 hours

Tuesday— 7 hours

Saturday— 10 hours

Wednesday— 8 hours

Sunday—DAY OFF !

Thursday—10 hours How many hours in total was she in the bathtub in this week? ________ hours. If she did this for 12 weeks how many hours in the bath would that total? ________ hours.

Task 3: Even though John Millais put candles underneath the bath tub to keep it warm it was still very cold as he was working on the painting during the winter months. At one point the candles went out and the water was so cold that Elizabeth caught a severe cold and needed medical treatment. Her father demanded that Millais paid the £50 bill but Millais would only pay part of it!

If he paid half of the bill how much would that be?

If he paid one fifth of the bill how much would that be?

If he paid one tenth of the bill how much would that be?

If he paid a quarter of the bill, how much would that be?

If he paid three quarters of the bill, how much would that be? £______

Craft Movement 1860 “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful� William Morris The artists and craftspeople of the movement had ideas that produced art and craftwork that moved away from the mass produced poorly designed and made, factory items, to pieces that were hand made with skill and craftsmanship. The chosen workers had to complete a 9 year apprenticeship before being able to pass on their skills. These craftsmen were heavily linked with the Pre Raphaelites and their ideals. The group wanted art for the people by the people. However it took time for craftsmen to make the individual pieces of furniture to enhance the lives of ordinary people. Because of this, the pieces were very expensive and so only the wealthy could afford them. Thus they failed to live up to their expectations of all people enjoying making and owning well made and beautiful pieces of art and craft. Nature was their main inspiration and used in wallpaper, tapestry designs, furniture and stained glass. They also tried to be true to the materials they worked with.

The Red House was designed for Morris by Philip Webb in the style of the Art & Craft Movement.

The group also looked back to the Gothic and their religious influenced work. Morris set up the Kelmscott Press which published 53 high quality hand bound books.

Art & Craft Movement 1860 –1910 Task 1: A lot of the work of William Morris is based around the concept of repeating patterns. His designs are very intricate but we can produce simpler patterns by using the idea of ‘Tessellation’ . Tessellation means a repeating pattern or arrangement of 2d shapes that can fill a page with out gaps or overlapping edges. Tessellating patterns can use a single shape or a range of shapes. Look at these shapes and colour in the ones which you think would tessellate to fill a page. If you’re not sure then trace them, cut them out and try it!

Task 2: Sally wants to decorate a wall in her living room with some beautiful William Morris wallpaper but she is having difficulty working out the cost and how many rolls to buy, can you help? The wall is 6 metres wide and 3 metres high. There are 9 metres of paper on a roll and the rolls are half a metre wide. How many rolls does she need? __________ The price of the paper is £25 per roll so how much will the paper cost altogether? __________ Now she needs to add in some extra costs of: £3 for wallpaper paste £5 for a new paste brush £2 for a new bucket How much does she spend altogether? __________

Art & Craft Movement 1860 –1910 TASK 3: Now it’s over to you to create your own wallpaper design. It needs to be a repeating pattern based on William Morris so maybe think about using flowers, leaves, fruit or other natural objects.

Examples of William Morris Wallpaper.

Symbolism is an art movement that started in France and Belgium, gradually spreading throughout Europe. There were strong connections with the Pre-Raphaelites and the Romanticism movements. Their paintings moved away from lifelike paintings and focused on images from their imagination, dreams

and unconscious mind. Because of the short timescale of the movement, many of the artists styles crossed over into other art movements as well as Symbolism. The artists were inspired by the writers and poets of that time as well as history, myths and legends and Bible stories. Some also used alcohol and drugs to stimulate their imaginations. Main themes for paintings included: love, death, sin, disease and religious feelings. They moved away from paintings that could tell a story, towards depicting a mood or feeling.

Symbolism 1880 - 1910 Task 1: Artists from the symbolism movement used dreams and imagination as inspiration for their work. Think of a dream you have had recently and jot down some words and phrases which describe it. Here are some questions to help: Who or what was in the dream? Where did the dream take place ? What happened in the dream? How did it make you feel? Were you in the dream?

Notes: Notes-

Don’t worry if your ideas seem weird or strange. It’s just your imagination running wild!

Task 2: Now use your notes to create a descriptive piece of writing to explain your dream. Remember to use lots of ADJECTIVES as they will help the reader to really picture what is in your mind. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________

Symbolism 1880 - 1910 Task 3: Now draw an image which represents your dream in the Symbolism style. Use colour or shading to show the mood of the dream and think about how the dream made you feel.

Marie Rosalie Bonheur was a member of the Realist movement but because of her sex she could not attend art school. Instead she was home taught by her father a famous landscape painter.

She was also possibly one of the first feminists as she wore men’s clothes when working with animals as she said it gave her freedom to move.

The Realist movement started in France, with artists wanting to show the world as real as they possibly could, painting everyday objects and poorer people. These things had been deliberately ignored by artists such as the Romantics. The Realism movement was sometimes called “Naturalism”. The paintings produced by these artists did not show any of their personal feelings just day to day real life.

Gustave Courbet is said to be the founder of the Realist movement. He was nicknamed the Father of

Realism 1848 - 1900 Task 1: Carry out some research into the artists Marie Rosalie Bonheur. Here are some starting questions for you to think about: • • • • • • •

When was she born? Where was she born? When did she die? What kind of life did she lead? Was she married? Did she have children? What were her main achievements?

Make a list of three websites/books which you have used for your research: 1. _____________________ 2._____________________ 3. _____________________ Task 2: Imagine a day in the life of Marie Rosalie Bonheur and write a diary entry showing what her typical day might be. REMEMBER THAT DIARY ENTRIES NEED TO BE: A. In the first person (using I). B. Have facts about what happened in the day.

C. In the past tense. D. Show how the writer is feeling.

Realism 1848 - 1900 Task 3: Now choose another of the artists from the Realism movement and research them FULLY using the questions from the previous page to help. When you have completed your research create a fact sheet about the artist and print it out.

Include some images of the artist and some examples of their work. Have sections with information about: • Their life and family. • Their work and achievements • What was happening in the world at the time they were alive.

Make sure you think carefully about how you present your information and pictures so that it attracts the readers attention but is easy for them to understand.

Impressionism started in Paris, France. The name came from a painting by Monet called “Impression Sunrise” which was painted at the beginning of that era. The Impressionists painted outdoors and also focused on light and how it effected the shadows and colours during the day and the changing seasons. Monet often painted series of paintings of the same place at different times to see how light effected the paintings. His Haystacks series is one of his most famous. Like the Realists, the Impressionists painted everyday figures and scenes. They also focused more on the backgrounds tending to place figures at the side of the composition. They often used their family and friends as the figures in their work. The artists painted in thick oil paint using short brush strokes which gave the impression of a scene. Close up the paintings look blurry. You need to view them from a distance to appreciate the scenes. Van Gogh’s paintings show the brush techniques well.

Impressionism 1870 –1900 Task 1: The objects below are casting shadows which form a triangle. Work out the missing angles in the following remembering that angles in a triangle total 180°.

Paul Gauguin painted in a flat

Most of the Post Impressionist artists had been Impressionist artists and then branched out into more individual styles of painting, although colour was still a major influence of their work They did not work as a group but tended to paint alone. Each one took an element from the Impressionist ways of painting and exaggerated it.

style of pure colour with heavy outlines. Many of his paintings were of Tahiti and its women.

Vincent Van Gogh took the bright colours of the Impressionists and exaggerated them even more. He also layered paint even thicker (called impasto) and produced paintings with energetic brush strokes, showing movement.

George Seurat took the colours and separated them into pure colours and produced paintings made up of millions of little dots (called pointillism). These paintings need to be viewed from a distance to clearly see the image.

Paul Cezanne is most famous for his still life and landscape work. He believed that every picture came from either a sphere, a cone, a cylinder or a cube. He used thick brush strokes and strong dark outlines in his work. His ideas inspired Picasso and the Cubists.

Post Impressionism 1880 –1920 The concept of using dots to create an image can be seen many times in Post Impressionist pieces and this was called ‘pointillism’. Task 1: For each shape plot each point on the grid and join them together, using a ruler, to create the shape. Once you have finished you have an image of : _________________________
