  1. FUTURISMThe Futurist School of art.

  2. Who were the Futurists? • Futurism was a movement that started in Italy in the early part of the 20th century. • The Futurists admired speed, technology, youth and violence, the car, the airplane and the industrial city, all that represented the technological triumph of humanity over nature, and they were passionate nationalists. • They wanted their artwork to look as modern and “high tech” as possible. • High tech from a 1900’s point of view.

  3. Filippo Marinetti was the founder of Futurism. He launched the movement in his Futurist Manifesto, in 1909. In it Marinetti expressed a passionate loathing of everything old, especially political and artistic tradition. "We want no part of it, the past, we the young and strong Futurists!"

  4. There are several types of movement and artist can use. • The first is the illusion of Actual Movement. • This is where the subject matter looks like it is moving. • Techniques like motion blur and speed lines are used.

  13. Implied Movement • Implied movement is creating the illusion of movement where none actually exists. • This includes the idea of repetition or multiple frames.

  14. Implied Action • Action is different than movement, and meant to express the concept of energy, action and excitement generated by a crowd or industrial machinery. • Early photo of the Beatles (often considered a Futurist photo in style).

  15. Eye movement/Direction • This is where the artist sets up a composition that directs the viewers eye through the artwork along a desired path. • This is similar to subliminal advertising and is also called Direction.

  16. Light • Since energy and industrialization were concepts used by the Futurists, light was also a subject of their studies.
