QUESTION OF THE WEEK
2-29-12 Look at some examples of paintings done by Monet, Van Gogh and Picasso. After viewing these paintings, which style of art do you like the best....Monet's Impressionism, Van Gogh's Post Impressionism or Picasso's Cubism? Explain why.
After viewing these paintings, my favorite style is Picasso's Cubism. This style is my favorite because its a different kind of art. It's like an abstract, but a unique painting. The paintings look like a bunch of brush strokes that make a design. They also describe everyday life styles. And also the reality in the world. This style is basically your own imagination and let's you draw freely.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite style would have to be Monet's Impressionism. His paintings use very calm soft colors. They also express very realistic images and ideas. I think Van Gogh's paintings are also very realistic but have brighter colors, creating a different mood than Monet's. Picasso's style is very unrealistic. He uses many shapes and colors to express many different moods. Monet's style is very peaceful and creates a calm mood.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite style would be Van Gogh's art. It is very calming, with all the colors and patterns. If his painting, Starry Night, wasn't at night I don't think it would set the same mood. His work is very creative with all the swirls and patterns. Instead of painting what he sees he lets his mind create a beautful interpretation. His paintings show his emotion. His paintings are easy to understand unlike picasso's. There is too much going on in the painting that it could become coonfusing. Monet's paintings are very classic and boring in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAfter viewing all of the three artist’s creations, I think that Claude Monet’s paintings are the best. When I see them, the paintings make me want be there and experience the beautiful scene and the mixture of colors. Looking at his paintings, it looks like Monet is very passionate about painting and has taken a good amount of time choosing the scene and painting it. Vincent von Gogh’s paintings do not appeal to me as much. And Picasso’s painting look unique, but honestly I don’t understand them. His paintings just seem like bunch of shapes. Monet’s paintings are classic and graceful, that is why I like Monet’s paintings the best.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite type of painting is Picasso's cubism. It is a break from all the other types of art. I really like it because of the meanings. His style of painting can mean whatever you want it to mean. If you think it means something no one can argue you because there isn't one meaning to the art. It's kind of like abstract art. There are many different colors. Other styles don't have the same color variety as cubism.
ReplyDeleteVincent Van Gogh was self taught and the first expressionist painter, but lived during the post-impressionist movement.Therefore, started a new movement. Since he lived during post-impressionist era, obviously he was inspired by impressionism. One of his most famous paintings is Starry Night. He used large coats of paint. the large amount of paint he used expressed emotions. He made the setting simple, still and silent and it came alive. For example, Starry Night looks energetic, but isn't this when everyone is sleeping?
ReplyDeleteAfter viewing all three artists paintings, my favorite would have to be Claud Monet's Impressionist paintings. He was a French painter who knew how to set a calm setting with the use of a paintbrush. The colors he used were so light and not many dark colors. I bet his paintings would catch any eye. It looks like he put a lot of work to it too. His paintings differ from the other artist. I like simple but beautiful pictures. It leaving leaves me wanting to see more of the paintings because of its beauty.
ReplyDeleteAfter viewing the three artists painting styles, I can say that I favor Picasso's cubism. His art style is very abstract and diffrent from the other painters paintings. I like it because it best because it seems so unique, it seems that it was his imagination, not anyone elses. The painting style is cubes instead of straight brush strokes which gives it that own special look.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite style of art is Monet's Impressionist paintings. His paintings are more realistic then the others. His paintings also have a lot to do with nature. Many of the paintings I had found were in nature. I don't like Picasso's paintings because they are cartoony and all of them don't really look to good. His style of art isn't really one that would look good hanging in your house. Van Gogh's style is closely similar to Monet's but I don't like it because in all his paintings were of life. It wasn't really as calm as Monets.
ReplyDeleteThe artist Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso are all great artist in history. Afther viewing each type of styl, my favorite was Monet's Impressionist. I like Monet's style of painting because it appears mor natural. In Van Gogh's paintings, he painted with lines. In Picasso's paintings, it appeared to me in pieces. Monet's paintings caught my attention by not confusing my eyes with lines or being in pieces. His painting came together as one. Monet's Imressionist style is the best style to me.
ReplyDeleteIn World History we talked about three talented artists. But out of the three artists the ones's whose painting caught my attention right away was Van Gogh and his painting named the Starry Night. All the artists are amazing and very talented but Monet's paintings are too calm and peaceful for me, I like a little bit of excitement and surprise. On the other hand Picasso has a unique style of painting, instead of brush strokes he used cubes. It is unique and unseen but I would like some traditional aspects in my paintings. Starry Night showed a peaceful night but at the same time it gives the feeling of surprise. That is why I like Van Gogh's paintings the most.
ReplyDeleteOut of the several different artists and their respective movement, my favorite would definitely be Vincent Van Gohg and his post-impressionism movement. I enjoy the choice of colors that Van Gohg used and his view of different landscapes. Some of my favorite pieces of art all-time were created by Van Gohg such as his Starry Night Over the Rhone piece. Pablo Picasso's cubism movement is my least favorite of the three. I'm not a fan of his abstract paintings were he uses squares to create a face. I also enjoy Monet's Impressionism paintings. He also painted many landscapes with a realistic view. I prefer a realistic piece of art rather than an abstract painting such as the ones Picasso created. In review I much prefer a painting from Vincent Van Gohg's post-impressionism movement rather than a painting from Picasso's Cubism.
ReplyDeleteI like Claude Monet's impressionist works the best. He has many beautiful paintings of nature, which commonly include water and flowers. I find his style to be the most realistic of all three of the artists. Picasso's style is not appealing at all to me, and Vincent Van Gogh is talented but I can not appreciate his way of painting. In contrast, Monet's pictures give me a positive feeling and are very peaceful and serene. In my opinion, they are much more pleasing to the eye.
ReplyDeleteAfter viewing the paintings by Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso, I've come to the conclusion that I prefer Monet's work. The main thing that caught my eye was the very calm scenery brought by the colors. Nature seems to be what was his inspiration. It was mostly what he drew about and I believe nature is beautiful. The smooth colors and beautiful scenery set such a unique, yet relaxing feeling. Van Gogh and Picasso are both great artists as well but they had their downs in their paintings. Picasso's paintings were to childish in the way the lines stood out too much. Vincent van Gogh's paintings were amazing, but they are too dark, not by color but by feeling. Monet's paintings seemed more alive to me and were the best.
ReplyDeleteI like Claud Monet's impressionist paintings the best out of the three. Monet paints a lot of nature and landscape and uses soft colors. I find that to be the most pleasant to look at. I do not enjot Picasso's Cubist style of painting because I find it to be disturbing and not very nice to look at it. It might even be considered to be a bit scary. I also enjoy Van Gogh's painting becuase he uses a lot of abstract ideas and lets you interpret them in your own way. That is how I feel about the different painters.
ReplyDeleteAfter viewing all three different styles of art my favorite style is impressionism. This is especially true for Claude Monnet's paintings. Monet typically paints images of the countryside while using very soft colors that have a somewhat calming affect on the viewer. Although his style of art is impressionism, where he presents the scene how he sees it, I think that that his paintings are still somewhat realistic as opposed to the other artists. I also like Monet's style the most because he stayed true to the nature he was painting.
