Arts Project: The 4 Big Art Styles

-

 Sfumato, Unione, Chiaroscuro,  and Cangiante. The 4 big styles of the classical periods.

For a quick overview; Sfumato is a line-less style developed by Leonardo Da Vinci himself. Da Vinci was always keen on the compositions and the art of life and wanted to emulate it through his own art. 

The Sfumato technique incorporates soft, gradual gradients of shadows and light, creating a sort of blurry or vague deep quality to the painting. His Mona Lisa for instance showcases this technique best.

The sfumato technique often features muted, brownish tones.

With my very  limited materials as well as very limited skill and experience with the medium, I did my very best to try and emulate this style. Although I wouldn't say it's my best output, I do want to explore more of this technique for future projects-both for school and personal reasons.




The next style is Unione. For a basic overview; the Unione painting technique was developed by Raphael as a response to Da Vinci's Sfumato. The Unione technique, similar to sfumato incorporates gentle, gradual gradient shadows. The main difference being that Raphael uses bright vibrant colors as suppose to Da Vinci's more muted pallette.


I had a hard time. Not to say I didn't have a hard time with everything else, I mean, everything is hard. Today was hard. First I had math assignments then I tried to learn how to ride a bike, now my butt hurts because the bike seat was old and sharp.

But I'm going off topic, sorry.



The next ones are Chiaroscuro and Cangiante. 

Chiaroscuro is a technique that uses strong, heavy shadows. The subjects usually shown from one angle with dark heavy shadows blending into their backgrounds. It's a beautiful and striking technique also developed by Da Vinci. I wish I could've done better with my output but I still have a long way to go, after all.


Cangiante is a technique developed by Giotto and famed by Michelangelo. It is a technique that uses a different shade or color for shadowing as suppose to darkening the previous color. It creates a lively and vibrant image that I could only dream of pulling off.

I tried though. I really tried. 


Here's another piece i did using the same techniques. (Another one because i forgot to film video process huhuhu 😭😭😭)

                           






We have reached the end of my blog post. These are my attempts at imitating the 4 big art styles of the great classical period. If you're wondering why I chose teeth then you probably don't know me.


I like teeth. Cronchmmm.


Thank you for reading.

Pardo Church. I'm pretty sure my first communion was held here. According to my research, Santo Tomás de Villanueva Parish The fortress-like façade of Pardo church built was built between 1880-93. The town was created by a government decree of 10 March 1863. It became an independent parish, through a diocesan decree of 10 April 1866, after being a visita of San Nicolas. Fr. Domingo Sanchez built a temporary structure while the church was still under San Nicolas. In 1866, Fr. Meliton Talegon was named parish priest and on 16 September 1877 reports to the provincial that a church of tabique pampango and nipa, built ten year previous is in ruinous condition. A document from that same year presents the project proposal of Domingo de Escondrillas, the district engineer of Cebu. Escondrillas is credited with designing other churches, notably Loon in Bohol. He proposed a church in the Latin-Byzantine Order as there was no such church in that style in the district. Bure

Classical Art Inspired Artwork #TheArtistWithin #TwoWeeksEarly #:)))

 My drawing-- or sketch, if you will, was inspired by the late Renaissance Era, specifically by the artworks of Michelangelo, my favorite ninja turtle. After a few hours of looking up references and coming up with an idea of what I wanted to draw, it took me a little over an hour to finish the whole piece. I based the drawing off of three of Michelangelo's sketch-drawings, particularly, drawings of women.  I used his sketches as references for drawing certain parts like the eyes and the general face, I kinda merged what I got from the references, well I mean-I think that's what you're supposed to do with references. I drew a woman from the neck up. She wears her short curly hair behind a bandana or something and is kinda just, wanting to leave whatever event she's at , I think. That's the kinda vibe I was going for. The first video clip is mostly just me sketching out the shape of the face based on my references and deciding what angle it should be, then putting in
Looksee!

PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE Presidente ng Republika ng Pilipinas   Mahal na Pangulo,   Ako po ay si Macoushla Mae L. Secuya, 15 years old, at nag-aaral sa A.C.T. Bulacao Campus Cebu City.
