Warming upWarming up by defining?Before we read on painting lets try to define it first.What is painting?creating a picture with paints; a picture created with paintthe act of applying paint to a surface; you can finish the job of painting faster with a roller than with a brushAs an object (as opposed to the action), it is an AESTHETIC work created by applying paint to a TWO-DIMENSIONAL surface such as canvas, panel, or a wall.two-dimensional representation where a picture is executed by applying colouring matter to various surfaces as decoration. Surfaces may include canvas, paper and wood.Art made with paint on a surface.the creation of an object or form chiefly by using liquid colors.a two-dimensional image created using paint.Warming up by talkingIn groups of four talking about what you know about Chinese painting and Western painting. Use these words to support your expressions.realistic, abstract, nature, detailed, traditional, line, rich, religious, unfinished, modern, colour, shapeThe earliest examples of Chinese painting that we have come from the second century B.C.E. Common Western histories of Chinese painting hold that before this time period, there was no Chinese painting. But it is more likely that there are simply no surviving pieces from before this time period.Artistic mediums such as painting, sculpture, pottery, etc. tend to show similar trends in certain time periods. This means that by looking at archaeological finds from before the 2nd century B.C.E. (eg. observing the development of lacquer design on pottery), we can infer that Chinese paintings followed the same trends as the examples we do have from other mediums.II.

Now write down three things about Western art.What is impressionism?Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists who began publicly exhibiting their art in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from Claude Monets Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant). Critic Louis Leroy inadvertently coined the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari.The influence of Impressionist thought spread beyond the art world, leading to Impressionist music and Impressionist literature.Characteristic of impressionist painting are visible brushstrokes, light colors, open composition, emphasis on light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, and unusual visual angles.Impressionism also describes art done in this style, but outside of the late 19th century time period.What is perspective?Perspective when used in the context of vision and visual perception refers to the way in which objects appear to the eye based on their spatial attributes or dimension and the position of the eye relative to the objects.
