Neoclassicism vs. Romanticism

http://animoto.com/play/imXMJsVrtJrUcmGVymZJxg


-oath of the horatii- J.L. David


-Le Sermant de I'armee- J.L. David


-The Chawed Rosen- Ingres


-Joan of Arc at the Coronation of Charles VII-
Ingres

-I prefer Romanticism art over neoclassical art because Romanticism pieces include more emotion and color. Neoclassical pieces are calmer and less colorful. The music we chose fit the slideshow and paintings the best out of all the other choices. We selected each individual painting because it was the most elite and easily showed the contrast between neoclassical art and Romanticism art. The categories we chose were value, tone, and composition. We chose these categories because we thought they were the most important of all. My favorite painting is Le Sermant De I’armee because of all the action going on in the painting.

right brain/left brain

Left- 45%
Right- 55%

Left:
Sequential- 27%
Logical- 25%
Linear- 22%
Verbal- 14%
Reality Based- 14%
Symbolic- 9%

Right:
Nonverbal- 38%
Intuitive- 29%
Fantasy Oriented- 29%
Random- 23%
Concrete- 10%
Holistic- 6%

-The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering. The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.

-I think it is accurate. Some of the sub categories might not be completely accurate, for example, the left brain symbolic says that I probably hated algebra but I didn't; I actually liked algebra I, but I did not like geometry.

Mozart

The cause of Mozart's death is not completely known for sure. The most likely cause was a high intermittent fever. According to Mozart, he thought he died from some kind of poisoning. Other possibilities could have been tuberculosis mengitis, strep throat infection, some kind of kidney disease, or even just because of poverty and priviation. I think it was some kind of poisoning for writing music too much or too long. Also in the movie he was always drinking some kind of alcohol so it could have been alcohol poisoning.

Random Objects

-This piece is a bunch of random shapes and random colors combined into a one painting.
-The elements that jump out the most are color, line, and shape.
-I think the artist was just trying to make a creative an unique piece that looks 3 dimesional.
-I think this is a succesful piece because it is very unique and is just a bunch of random shapes and colors combined to make one image.
