  1. Impressionism Renaissance Cubism

  2. The Renaissance Period 1490-1700 Renaissance is defined as a rebirth and reconstruction. It was a time of creativity. Artists were no longer bound by the strict rules of the Medieval period.

  3. Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519

  4. Leonardo da Vinci • DaVinci was one of the most famous artists of The Renaissance Period. • His mind was always working: painting, sculpture, architecture, poetry, anatomy, engineering…..helicopters, tanks, mechanical motion, and water-power are just a few ideas he dreamed up and wrote about light-years before anyone else. • It is said that his “Mona Lisa” is the most famous painting in history.

  5. Michelangelo 1475-1564

  6. Michelangelo • Michelangelo was also a Renaissance artist. • He was more of a doer than a thinker. • His splendid work was seen by Pope Julius II, who commissioned him to create the Sistine Chapel Ceiling paintings (1508-1512). • This was considered his most complex and important work.

  7. Impressionism

  8. Impressionism 1874-1900 Impressionism began in France in the mid 1800s. The Impressionists were not very popular because they had a different approach to painting. The impressionist paintings were sometimes of people or landscapes or historical events. They gave you the impression of an object but not much detail.

  9. Claude Monet 1840-1926

  10. Claude Monet was considered by some to be the first impressionist painter. • He was totally absorbed in nature. • He was determined to paint what he saw rather than what was there.

  11. Cubism (Early 1900s)

  12. Cubism was the first 'abstract' art style which began in the early 1900s. The Cubists tried to create a new way of seeing things in art. Many of their subjects were represented as combinations of basic geometric shapes - sometimes showing multiple viewpoints of a particular image. Cubist pictures are therefore often described as looking like pieces of fractured glass.

  13. Pablo Picasso 1881-1973

  14. Pablo Picasso 1881-1973 • Picasso studied the artists that came before him and then surpassed them. • He was always trying something new. • He is famous today for his cubist work but at the time he painted these pictures he never exhibited them publicly. • He never referred to his work as cubism.
