  1. Opening Discussion (2/2/11) • Think of three inventions and tell me how they changed life in our society… think of at least one negative effect or invention • Advancement in technology, science, art, etc… have constantly changed the way we live and think. Think about how many of you grew up with cell phones, computers, internet, lots of cable channels as the norm. Think about how that has changed you all…

  2. Changes during the Industrial Revolution 2/8/10 Mr. Pratt

  3. Lets Review what was going on • Where did the Industrial Revolution start? • England in the later half the 1700’s • Will spread into Europe during the 1800’s and the US after the Civil War • How did it start? • Enclosure Movement -> More labor freed up • Agricultural Revolution = methods of farming become more advanced thus needing less people to produce crops • A lot of crops will be massed produced on farms now

  4. Land, Labor, and Capitol = Factor of Production • In England • Land = Tons of Natural Resources, Lots of Rivers and canals for transportation (eventually gave in to the railroad though) • Natural Resources = Coal, Iron, etc… (raw materials) • Capitol = Classical Liberalism (Capitalism) helped entrepreneurs (businessmen) spend and invest their money more freely • Labor = the previous slide explained why there was an abundance of labor in England

  5. New Inventions that helped • James Watt = Steam Engine • Led to trains and railroads (better transportation) • Henry Bessemer = Bessemer Process (steel) • Cheap and efficient way to make steel • Eli Whitney = Cotton Gin • Revived American slavery in the south • Samuel Morse = Telegraph -> Morse Code • Fast communication and relaying of messages

  6. Effects of the Industrial Revolution Negative • Use of Women and Children as cheap labor • Urbanization (overcrowding, poor sanitation, etc…) • Population increases too • Environmental Pollution • Workers become dissatisfied with their poor conditions • Very unequal distribution of wealth Positive • Improvements in technology, transportation, and communication • Growth of a “middle-class” • Great Britain outlaws slavery (1833) • Increase in Public Education • Rise of Factory System • Mass production of goods

  7. Now to the New Stuff….

  8. Population Increase • * Did you know that between 1650 and 1850 that the world’s population doubled (500 million to 1 billion) -> Then between 1850 and 1930 it doubled again (1 to 2 billion) - > Between 1930 and 1980 it doubled again (2 to 4 Billion) -> On Average our population is set to double every 35 years… The planet can only handle about 9 billion people max!!! That is to say the Earth’s ecosystem cannot handle more than 9 billion and would be in danger of collapsing (not enough water, food, and resources for everyone to survive)… think about it!

  9. Population Increase

  10. Why the rapid increase? • Improvements in Medicine!!!!

  11. Advancements in Sciences

  12. Romanticism • An artistic and intellectual movement originating in Europe in the late 18th century and characterized by a heightened interest in nature, emphasis on the individual's expression of emotion and imagination, departure from the attitudes and forms of classicism, and rebellion against established social rules and conventions.

  13. Romanticism in ArtAppreciation of Nature

  14. Rebellion against “old order” (Eugene Delacroix – Liberty Leading the People)

  15. Imagination and Fantasy like imagesWilliam Turner – Hannibal crossing the Alps

  16. Showing injustice (Goya – May Third, 1808) Romanticism attempted to show the world as they thought it should beand not how it actually was… don’t be confused this is not how Goya thought the world should be…

  17. Music • Romanticism music showed the same pull towards emotion, nature, rebellion and individualism • Best Examples • Ludwig van Beethoven – Moonlight Sonata, Fur Elise, Fidelio (his only opera) • PyotrIlyich Tchaikovsky – Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Nutcracker

  18. Literature • Introduction of a new type of literature comes before this era…. NOVEL! • First modern novel was Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes (1604 first published) • Poets and writers emphasized emotion and struggle in their works in romanticism novels • Examples in the US of Romantic Literature • James Fennimore Cooper, Edgar Allen Poe, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickenson, Nathanial Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson

  19. Realism in Brief • In Romanticism, artists/writers were not focusing on everyday life and real people. In the 1830’s and 1840’s a new invention stated to rise – Photography. This influenced a new movement called Realism in which artists/writers try to focus on regular people and show the reality of everyday life with no embellishments or interpretation

  20. Art/ *Manet (1862) – early impressionist

  21. Van Gogh – one of his early less famous works

  22. Degas – like Monet he was an early Impressionist artist

  23. American Realist Edward Cooper

  24. Impressionism (my favorite!) • With improvements on photography during the last half of the 1800’s portraits, landscapes, and very realistic paintings of everyday life became a thing of the past… new ideas about art started to arise • Started in France • Challenged the traditional rules of artwork • The concepts of brushstrokes and color • Reached popularity in 1870’s and 1880’s • Very influential artistic movement that greatly affected the course of modern art

  25. Pissarro

  26. Renoir

  27. Monet

  28. French Cathedral at different times of the day

  29. Georges Suerat

  30. Pointillism and Post Impressionist Works

  31. Paul Cezanne (Considered the father of Modern Art) Cezanne found his own style and incorporated new techniques into his work that challenged While most impressionists transformed only what their eyes saw, Cezanne believed that your mind and imagination could recreate that image into some thing new

  32. Influences of this era

  33. Van Gogh

  34. Dali

  35. Political Cartoons • Brief history • Existed in some form dating back all the way to the 1300’s • Not like we think of them today (no newspapers back then) • First modern political cartoonist seen in a newspapers was by an American named Thomas Nast • He challenged the politician William “Boss” Tweed • In the 1800’s as newspapers become more widespread so did the political cartoons • They either used symbolism to make fun of an event or raise awareness about a social issue • Or they use a caricature to make fun of a certain person

  36. Examples
