In class we really just went through the time periods and what distinguished them throughout from one another. I was a little disappointed that we skipped over the Northern Renaissance because I enjoy the artists. Durer is one of my favorites especially his engravings that I think are amazing. I do like Bernini and Michelangelo and enjoyed looking at their architecture and sculptures. It was interesting to see why and how the mediums were developed and what prompted the different style changes.
I also liked the neoclassicism because it is used more in the United States. I have seen a lot of neoclassicism in the different museums that I have been in such as the Chicago art museum. It also draws my mind to the renaissance which I also enjoy. I like the idealistic view that the artists have and how they put their vision into the art.

I like the Northern Renaissance too. I actually love all art to be truthful! I think it's cool that you've been to the Chicago Art Museum, that would be awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteNeoclassicism is by far my favorite as well. The neoclassical style to me feels as if it expresses freedom and liberty. This is most likely due to the time frame this style occurs.
ReplyDeleteI'm sad we didn't do the Northern Renaissance as well. I didn't even realize I had left it out until I'd passed where it would be in the presentation. You should take Humanities 202 if you are interested in Northern Renaissance and Neoclassicism.
