WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?
We all have our different styles: a specific dream car,
fashion sense, brand of stores, or different goods-it's
everywhere! Having our own style helps us express
ourselves better and be unique from each other.

Artistic people also design their styles within a particular

place and time. Artists working at the same time and
culture usually have common features—a flair shared by a
certain group of like-minded artists. The awareness of
styles can help us locate art and artists of Modern art that
helps us to understand them better.
 MODERN ART
Modern art includes artistic works created around the 1860s
to 1970s when past art practices were thrown aside through
experimentation.

Modernist artists saw fresh ideas about art functions and

materials, showing the world they know in rare, never-
before-seen manners. New art styles broke traditional art
rules and opened windows for future innovations.

The start of the 20th century is seen as a period of art

revolution. Europe was originally the origin of new styles that
hugely influenced the art later formed in America. As the
century went by, American art began to exhibit a bold
character of its own and became the example that artists in
other countries took inspiration from.

IMPRESSIONISM
AND
EXPRESSIONISM
IMPRESSIONISM
Impressionism began with a group of 19th century Paris-based artists
whose independent exhibits brought them to fame. The term was derived
from Claude Monet's Impression, Sunrise. At first, Impressionists faced
harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France but were
soon followed by similar styles in other media like Impressionist music
and Impressionist literature.

Impressionist art believed that the color of shade was affected by the
surrounding hues, and hence should filter and shine onto the scene and
flow through the objects in the painting. They focus on the "here and now"
like daily ordinary people in the city, which is insignificant as compared to
the majestic subjects of earlier painters. Their emphasis on light and time
causes a transitional effect of atmosphere and movement. Changes are
shown in color and shape caused by the light at different times of the day.

 IMPRESSIONIST ART TRAITS
Focus:
Rejects realism,
conveyed mood, and
atmosphere rather than a
replica
Strokes:
Small yet visible;
spontaneous and hurried;
artists worked quickly
outdoors to capture the
"impression" of a subject.
Colors:
Mixes unblended pigments
for vibrancy, pure hues
broken up with opposite
colors, which seem to
blend from a distance
Subject matter:
Open composition; modern
life, bourgeois leisure, and
recreation, instead of
history and myth
 WELL-KNOWN
IMPRESSIONIST
 Claude Monet
1840-1926
Paris, France

He was the leader of the Impressionists,

and he had a long-lasting fascination with
observing and painting light and nature. He
used to always ask himself: "What do I see
and how do I capture it in painting?" Many
of his beautiful paintings show places in the
garden he created for himself and his wife.
He would stay for long hours at different
times of day in his garden to paint it.
 Pierre Renoir
1841_1919
Limoges, France

Liked to paint active groups of figures. His

pictures were full of sketchy patches of
color and contrasts of light and shade.
Renoir painted more than 6,000 paintings.
Even when he became crippled in old age,
he carried on the painting by wedging
brushes between his twisted fingers.
In the painting Gare Saint Lazare,
Monet painted a Paris train
station. It revealed the effects of
light passing through the glass
roof onto the clouds of steam. He
showed how the shapes of the
engines, and the people stand out
amidthe noise and smoke of the
area. He created the impression of
movements by using color patches
"The Gare Saint-Lazare"
instead of clean outlines.
by Claude Monet in 1877
"The Manneporte" by Claude Monet in 1886
 Activity 1: The Four Seasons
As the earth revolves around the sun, different seasons affect
the atmosphere causing changes in how sunlight enters and
strikes the surroundings. Look for pictures of trees in old
magazines. You may also download pictures of trees that grow
in countries that have four seasons. Cut out the parts of the
trees and form them like a puzzle by pasting them on paper.

Can you tell the season of the year represented by each tree?
Which one do you think conveys Winter, Spring, Summer, and
Fall? How were you able to identify this? In what way does the
artist approach his art like a scientist?
 Activity 2: What Time is it?
Look at Monet's painting series of Manneporte below.
As the sun moves, see how the light changes. Different
colors and shadows appear, altering the way the scene
looks.

Can you tell the time of day each was painted?

Which one do you think was painted at dawn, noon, and
sunset? How were you able to tell this? How can you
relate how a painter works with how a scientist works?
POST- IMPRESSIONISM
The reaction against Impressionism. This style
was led by Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and
Seurat.
 The painting The Starry Night was done
by Vincent Van Gogh while he was at the
peak of his depression. The landscape
was the view from his window in Saint
Remy, France. His art was unappreciated
at that time; critics thought that his
style was sloppy, unrefined, childish,
and unrealistic. While other works
looked like photographs, he used

exaggerated, bright, and heavy brushstrokes to visualize the way he felt inside
and reveal his personal impressions of whatever he sees. His feelings of
isolation and struggle color the overall meaning of the painting: a feeling of
hope through the bright stars shining down over the dark landscape. His
paintings turned out to be far ahead of their time and paved the way for
Expressionism and Surrealism.
DID YOU KNOW THAT…
Van Gogh cut off his own ear from a fight with his
painter friend Paul Gauguin, on the year 1880, before
his death in 1890.
 POST-IMPRESSIONIST ART TRAITS

Artificial: Hues:
Rejected spontaneous Color is independent from
and naturalistic composition and form, as an
rendering of light and emotional and aesthetic
color. bearer of meaning.

Symbolic:
Favored on symbolic
content, formal order, and
structure.
 Activity 3: Hearing Vincent
Listen perceptively to the song "Vincent" by Don McLean
and analyze the lyrics in relation to the life and works of the
famed painter. Answer the following guide questions:
1. How did Van Gogh die?
2. What was his similarity with Beethoven?
3. Enumerate some figures of speech used in the lyrics.
4. Figure out the meaning and symbolism of the song
line per line.
FAMOUS FILIPINO IMPRESSIONIST
Despite being identified as a master of
classical style, Juan Luna tried his hand at
Impressionism. The use of small and
brightly colored dabs on the cheeks, the
intent to create a quick impression of a
fleeting moment, and the appearance of
painting outdoors and reflected light, are
qualities that are clearly Impressionistic in
Fernando Amorsolo style.
1892-1972
Paco, Manila
FAMOUS FILIPINO IMPRESSIONIST
The first National Artist of the Philippines,
Fernando Amorsolo, is known to catch the
quality of "sunlight at high noon" when
contrasts are strongest and "sun shafts"
create dappled light patterns, causing a
distinctive glow where figures stand out.
However, his figures are more carefully
rendered and have an emphasis on detail,
Juan Luna
conceived by his classical training.
1857-1899

 Activity 4: Im-Paris-sionism
Create a similar work to the picture included in this
activity. You may use plain white paper. Take your painting
materials en plein air on a sunny day and find a building to
paint.
1. Make a quick sketch of the shape and main features,
and sides of the buildings.
2. Paint the shadowy parts of the building with darker
colors, and then its main parts with different unmixed
bright colors.
3. Work fast using small dabs and dashes of quick
brushstrokes.
 Activity 5: Let There Be Light
Give your school windows or halls new life with sunlit window
art. Create a design that will make your school days much
brighter and more fun.
1. Form yourselves into small groups.
2. Look around for vacant and sunlit clear glass panes in the
school.
3. Come up with a design, preferably floral or nature-inspired,
that everyone in your group conceptualized together.
4. Using board chalk, transfer your design to the glass panes.
5. Lastly, apply acrylic colors using the Impressionist style of
painting.
 Activity 6: Point of View
1. Using your mobile phone camera, do a photographic
interpretation of a subject to apply artistic choices: foreground,
background, composition, and light.
2. Observe how light can be diffused and softened in the early
morning, or harsh and contrasting at noontime. These qualities
of light affect the emotional tone of your subject in a
photograph.
3. Take pictures outdoors and reflect on ordinary life, like the
Impressionists. Observe how your posed or unposed shots, or
full-figure or cut-off figure shots, resemble Impressionist
paintings.
4. Appreciate how you interpreted the world from an
Impressionist's point of view.
EXPRESSIONISM
Some artists felt Impressionism sacrificed too much by trying to capture the
momentary effects of sunlight on forms and colors. They claimed that art must
have a more intimate and emotional view of life. In Germany, this idea was
believed by several artists. This art movement in which artworks conveyed
strong emotional feelings was called Expressionism.

Expressionist Movement initially started in poetry and extended to

architecture, literature, theater, dance, film, and music. It "expresses" the
meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality, such dissimilar
painting styles from deep psychological passions, like terror and angst. It was
another response to the dehumanizing effects of industrialization, hence
developing as an experimental and innovative style before World War I.
EXPRESSIONIST ART TRAITS
Subject Matter: Colors:
urban anxieties, Striking and arbitrary,
subjective perspectives, objects are depicted in
radicalism for emotional colors that had no
effect natural relation to them.

Brush strokes:
visible and thick, distort
subjects to channel
intense feelings
 FAMOUS
EXPRESSIONIST
ARTISTS
Edvard Munch
1880-1938
Aschaffenburg, Germany

The forerunner of Expressionism. His

early life was tortured by sickness,
death, insanity, unhappy love affairs,
and guilt a classic way to understand his
paintings. Munch has a rare ability to
portray anxiety and fear in beautiful
paintings.
Ernst Kirchner
1863-1944
Adalsbruk, Norway

Suffered a breakdown as a soldier in

World War I. His paintings showed fears
about humanity's place in the modern
world, and so his works were destroyed
or sold by the Nazis.
"The Scream" by Edvard munch in 1893
"Artilleryman in the shower" by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in 1915
Influence of Expressionism
in Philippines
Coming back from studying art abroad
in 1928, painter Victorio Edades realized
that modernist experimentation and a
new perspective on seeing the world
were what Philippine art needed. His
painting titled The Builders was the
Filipino public's shocking introduction
to Modern art.
 The Builders

The Builders was special because it showed Edades' Modernist tendency to

experiment with Expressionist style. Its use of overstressed features, dark
hues, and thick brush strokes to express extreme feelings set the
expressionistic mood for Filipino artists of his generation and the next ones.
 ACTIVITY 7 - ART THERAPY
Think of your own personal problems, troubles, and
anxieties. Pour them all out in an Expressionist-style
sketch using your most comfortable coloring material on
paper. This activity helps you unload heavy emotions,
unconscious negative thoughts, or bad vibes from your
heart, mind, body, and soul-into your own masterpiece.
ACTIVITY 8 - STYLE CATEGORIZATION
Classify the following artworks under their style.
Write Realism, Impressionism, or Expressionism
below each painting.
