                               Types of Art that You Should Know

      The practice and study of arts have shown us that there are different

types of art. As the study of arts is developing more and branches and types

of art are being discovered and included in the field of studies. Today, we

have different types of artists and the only way to explain the existence of

different types of artists is because of the existence of different kinds of

arts. However, it is not always easy to classify arts into its different types.

It can be tricky to do that. However, here, an attempt is made to classify

visuals art into different forms.

     One of the types of art that you should know is painting. It is the type

of art work that is used to show the beauty of creation. It could also be said

to be one of the types of art work which the artist uses to express his or her

feelings. Artists also use painting to show the environment they know. Basically,

it is that type of art in which pigments is used on a surface such as

paper, wood panel, canvas and wall. There are different tools that are used

for painting. Apart from the paint itself, brush is the commonest tool that

can be used for painting.

      One of the popular types of arts today that you should know is sculpture.

It is a type of art in which hard materials such as rocks, plastic, clay

or wood is used to create three dimensional arts. There are two different

processes that are involved in sculpture, namely, carving and assembling

of the carved work. Sculpture and painting as types of art can also be combined

in one art piece. An artist can decide to paint his work after carving

them. Just as there are different types of painting, there are also different

types of art sculpture.

     One of the types of art that we are conversant with is photography. In

this type of art, images and pictures are created using different types light

patterns. The light patterns are able to capture objects when they are emitted

in such a manner that they reflect on the object. In this type of art, the

camera plays important role. The objects are captured through the lens of

the camera. There are also other types of art that are not mentioned here.

These are few popular ones.

                                  Chinese Art

    The huge area of the country of China has also highly influenced the

art and architecture of this country. The Chinese arts are also different

because of the cultural influence, due to the rule of the different dynasties.

There are various forms of art, which are in practice in China like, fine arts,

performance arts and folk arts.

    Art in China began its journey from the Neolithic era. In the rule of the

Shang Dynasty bronze was used to make many items. The Shang dynasty is

not only famous for the beautiful bronze structure and also for the literature,

music and poetry. One most important aspect of Chinese art is porcelain

which gave China world wide fame.

    In the 1st century AD with the coming of Buddhism in China, the art

of calligraphy and painting flourished highly in China. Much calligraphy

was done on the Chinese silks especially for royal courts. The sculpture and

architecture which was influenced by Buddhism began in the Sui and Tang

dynasty. There was also influence from India which was reflected in the art

and architecture of the Tang dynasty.

                                  Folk art of China

     China has a very rich culture and heritage and these are depicted well

in the folk arts of this Asian country. The art and craft of China are in harmony

with the everyday life of the people of China, their spirituality and

aesthetic value. The value of the Chinese folk arts is still very much intact

till date.

                                     Chinese Painting

Painting in China had evolved since the ancient era and it was first to

evolve in China than the rest of the world. The first paintings in China can

be seen since the Stone Age. The two main branch of Chinese painting are

‘meticulous’ and ‘freehand’. The era of drawing the human figures began

in the Han dynasty and ended during the time of the Tangs. However, according

to many the best Chinese paintings were the depiction of the landscapes.

Listen to the text about Charlie Chaplin’s early life and do the task.

He was believed to have been born on April 16, 1889. There is some

doubt whether April 16 is actually his birthday, and it is possible he was not

born in 1889. There is also uncertainty about his birthplace: London or Fontainebleau,

France. There is no doubt, however, as to his parentage: he was

born to Charles Chaplin, Sr. and Hannah Harriette Hill (aka Lily Harley on

stage), both Music Hall entertainers. His parents separated soon after his

birth, leaving him in the care of his increasingly unstable mother.

In 1896, Chaplin’s mother was unable to find work; Charlie and his older

half-brother Sydney Chaplin had to be left in the workhouse at Lambeth,

moving after several weeks to Hanwell School for Orphans and Destitute

Children. His father died an alcoholic when Charlie was 12, and his mother

suffered a mental breakdown, and was eventually admitted temporarily to

the Cane Hill Asylum at Coulsdon (near Croydon). She died in 1928 in the

United States, two years after coming to the States to live with Chaplin, by

then a commercial success.

Charlie first took to the stage when, aged five, he performed in Music

Hall in 1894, standing in for his mother. As a child, he was confined to

a bed for weeks due to a serious illness, and, at night, his mother would sit

at the window and act out what was going on outside. In 1900, aged 11, his

brother helped get him the role of a comic cat in the pantomime Cinderella

at the London Hippodrome. In 1903 he appeared in ‘Jim, A Romance of

Cockayne’, followed by his first regular job, as the newspaper boy Billy in

Sherlock Holmes, a part he played into 1906. This was followed by Casey’s

‘Court Circus’ variety show, and, the following year, he became a clown in

Fred Karno’s ‘Fun Factory’ slapstick comedy company.

According to immigration records, he arrived in the United States with the

Karno troupe on October 2, 1912. In the Karno Company was Arthur Stanley

Jefferson, who would later become known as Stan Laurel. Chaplin and Laurel

shared a room in a boarding house. Stan Laurel returned to England but Chaplin

remained in the United States. Chaplin’s act was seen by film producer

Mack Sennett, who hired him for his studio, the Keystone Film Company.

1) Chaplin might have been born some years earlier than is currently believed.

2) Chaplin’s mother died before her son was successful.

3) Chaplin first performed on the stage after he arrived in the United

States.

4) His first serious job was delivering newspapers.

5) His first partner on the stage was the actor, Stan Laurel.

6) He was discovered while working for a British organization in the United

States.

5. Reading

Read the text and write what is the difference between modern and contemporary

art.

There have been many different artistic movements throughout

history.

They represent groups of artists who agree on general principles. They

used similar techniques, materials and ideals in their art.

However, people sometimes encounter difficulties in distinguishing

the difference between modern art and contemporary art.

Artrepublic.com defines the term modern art as “a collection of art

movements which began in the 19th Century and ended in the 1960’s”.

Contemporary art refers to art that has been created in the recent past.

Some experts label any art created from the 1960’s or 1970’s to present day

as contemporary art.

Before the Impressionism art movement (1870’s–1890’s) artists were

concerned with balance, proportion and perspective capturing their subjects

realistically and with as much detail as possible.

According to Artyfactory.com the Impressionists painted quickly

with “small strokes of pure colors” giving the viewer a sense of the artist’s

feelings.

Post Impressionism (1880–1900) pushed the boundaries of modern art

even further and served as the inspiration for Cubism — another form of

modern art. It became the first style of abstract art.

Impressionism, Post Impressionism, and Cubism are just a few of the

art movements that make up modern art.

Modern art can be considered a rejection of traditional art. Artists developed

new approaches to art that reflected their rapidly changing world.

Art created in the recent past or during our lifetimes is called contemporary

art. Some people classify any art created after World War II as contemporary

while others consider its beginning to be the 1960’s or 1970’s.

One such movement is Op art. Op art or optical art began in the 1960’s.

Artists created paintings that appeared to move and disorient the

viewer.

Another art movement that falls under the heading of contemporary

art is Pop art. Pop artists used bright colors and focused on celebrities and

ordinary objects. Andy Warhol is the most famous artist of this movement.

Other recent art movements include: Minimal art, Conceptual art and Neoexpressionism.

Art tends to reflect the age in which it was created. Progress and technology

influence how art is produced and continue to inspire new forms

of art.
