Methods in Presenting Art Subjects
Realism Expressionism

Abstraction Surrealism

Symbolism Futurism

Fauvism Dadaism
The artist main function is to describe as accurately and
honestly as possible what is observed through the
senses. He cannot help being influenced by what he
feels or think.

We can say that an art or work of an artist is realistic

when the presentation and organization of details
seem so natural.
FERNANDO AMORSOLOS’S PAINTING
This is used when the artist become so interested
in one phase of a scene or situation that he does
not show the subject at all as an objective reality,
but only his idea or his feeling about it . Abstract
means ‘to move away or separate’’. The
painter or artist paints the picture not as
really looked. The picture is not just like life. It
is not ‘’realistic’’.
By. Willem de Kooning
 In the field of sculpture
artist began doing abstract
sculpture. They ignored the
exact form of a real life
object. They feel that the
texture and shape is more
important to them than the
exact form.
By. Constantin Brancusis
‘’Bird in Space’’
Abstract subject presented in many ways like:
a. distortion-the regular shape twisted out.
b. Elongation - it refers to that which is being lengthened,
a protraction or an extension.
‘’Resurrection’’- el Greco
 c. Mangling- few artist who show subject or
object which are cut, lacerated, mutilated, or hacked
with repeated blows.
Mangling
d. cubism- its stresses abstract form through the uses of
cone, cylinder, or sphere at the expenses of other pictorial
elements.
Paul Cezanne George Braque
e. Abstract expressionism- strong color, heavy impasto,
uneven brush strokes, and rough texture are typical
characteristics.
 SYMBOLISM
Is a visible sign of something invisible
such as an idea or a quality. It can be
simply an emblem or sign like: % to
represent percent, lion to represent
courage, lamb to represent meekness.
By. Alfred lord Tennyson
‘‘crossing the bar’’
 SPOLIARIUM
Is an old painting on canvas 4.25m x 7.75m. With the use of
heavy and strong brush strokes, Juan Luna expressed his
anger over the abuses and cruelties during that time, being
suffered by his countrymen, the Filipinos from the Spanish
authorities. The vertical line evidenced by the straight body of
an strength and stability; the horizontal lines are seen on the
dead person which express impression of serenity and repose.
The diagonal lines are clearly shown in the arms of men
pulling the wounded gladiator toward the other room.
SPOLIARIUM
‘’Lion of Lucerne’’.
 Lion of Lucerne- is a famous masterpiece of early 19th
century is dedicated to the memory of heroic fight and
final defeat of Swiss guard

The lion always considered a symbol of courage and

strength, served the artist to demonstrate a tragic
event a fight to the death.
 FAUVISM
The fauve’s did not attempt to
express ethical, philosophical or
psychological themes. Most of
these artists tried to paint pictures
of comfort, joy, and pleasure. They
used bright colors.
 FUAVISM
by. HENRY MATISSE
 DADAISM
They tried to shock and provoke the public
with outrageous pieces of writing, poetry
recitals and art exhibitions. Dadaism art was
playful and highly experimental. The name
‘’dada’’ a French word meaning ‘’hobby horse’’
was deliberately chosen because it was
nonsensical.
DADAISM
 FUTURISM

Futurist painters wanted their works to

capture the speed and force of modern
industrial society. Their paintings glorified
the mechanical energy of modern life.
Subjects included automobiles, motorcycles,
and railroad trains subject that express the
explosive vitality of a modern city.
FUTURISM
 SURREALISM
Surrealism uses art as weapon against the evils and
restrictions that surrealists see in society. It tried to
reveal a new and higher reality than that of daily life .
The subject of this kind attempt to show what is inside
man’s mind as well as the appearance of his outside
world.
The surrealists claim to create a magical world more
beautiful than the real one through art.
SURREALISM
The Elephant in Celebes
 EXPRESSIONISM
It influenced the play wrights in English and filipino like the
work of Amelia Lapena-Bonifacio in ‘Sepang-Loca’. The
exponents of expressionism believed in the necessity of a
spiritual rebirth for man in an age that was becoming
influenced by materialism. Paul dumols’’paglilitis ni Mang
sreapio’’ Revel Aguila’s ‘‘mapait sa bato’’.
The emotional expressions in expressionistic painting could
be describe as involving pathos, morbidity, violence or
chaos and tragedy.
EXPRESSIONISM
 IMPRESSIONISM

The impressionist style of painting is

characterized chiefly by concentration on the
general impression produced by a scene or
object and the use of unmixed primary colors
and small strokes to simulate actual reflected
light.
Impressionism
The term 'Impressionist' was first used as an insult in
response to an exhibition of new paintings in Paris in 1874. A
diverse group of painters, rejected by the art establishment,
defiantly set up their own exhibition. They
included Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas.
What characterizes Impressionism for most people nowadays, is
both the subject matter and the technique. Landscapes, and
scenes from modern urban and suburban life painted in bright,
pure colours are typical. Impressionists often began (and
sometimes completed) their paintings outdoors rather in a studio.
Their rapidly applied brushstrokes are often visible.

 So what is an ART? (Leo Tolstoy)
*To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced,
and having evoked it in oneself, then, by means of
movements, lines, colors, sounds, or forms expressed in
words, so to transmit that feeling that others may
experience the same feeling--this is the activity of art.
*Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man
consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on
to others feelings he has lived through, and that other
people are infected by these feelings and also experience
them.
What is ART for me?
Arts are an opportunity to express what we
think, what we feel, what we love or hate, what
we hope, what we want to change, what we want
from the future and admire from the past, and
whatever else might move us. It's part of
humanity to want and need to express those
things. Not having the arts is like living in a black
and white world when color is an option.
… AND BECAUSE ARTS, FOR ME, IS
HOW I SEE THINGS AND FEEL ABOUT
IT AND THEN TRANSMIT IT TO A
CANVASS, THE FOLLOWING WAS MY
SOME OF THE FINISHED WORKS…

PSYCHOLOGICAL IDEA/S
A lot of what artists do is tell stories. They
help us make sense of our world, and they
broaden our experience and understanding.
The arts enable us to imagine the
unimaginable, and to connect us to the past,
the present, and the future, sometimes
simultaneously.
