In this learning activity, you will go through the observable details in every selected artwork of
the different art movements. From the objects in the painting, the brush strokes, and other
elements and principles used in the selected artworks, you will discover the backstory, the
artist's journey, and their art.
Activity 1: BEHIND THE ARTWORK: Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” backstory.
Instructions: Read the story behind Van Gogh's Starry Night's artwork and answer the
questions that follow.
“VINCENT VAN GOGH: STARRY NIGHT” VANGOGHGALLERY.COM

Vincent van Gogh painted Starry Night in 1889 during his stay at the asylum of
Saint-Paul-de-Mausole near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Van Gogh lived well in the hospital; he
was allowed more freedom than any of the other patients. He could leave the hospital
grounds; he was allowed to paint, read, and withdraw into his room.
He was even given a studio. While he suffered from the occasional relapse into
paranoia and fits - officially, he had been diagnosed with epileptic fits - it seemed his
mental health was recovering.

1
Unfortunately, he relapsed. He began to suffer hallucinations and have
thoughts of suicide as he plunged into depression. Accordingly, there was a tonal shift in
his work. He returned to incorporating the darker colors from the beginning of his career,
and Starry Night is a beautiful example of that shift. Blue dominates the painting, blending
hills into the sky. The little village lays at the base in the painting in browns, greys, and
blues. Even though each building is clearly outlined in black, the yellow and white of the
stars and the moon stand out against the sky, drawing the eyes to the sky. They are the big
attention grabber of the painting.

WORK

Notice the brush strokes. For the sky, they swirl, each dab of color rolling with the
clouds around the stars and moon. On the cypress tree, they bend with the curve of the
branches. The whole effect is ethereal and dreamlike. The hills easily roll down into the little
village below. In contrast, the town is straight up and down, done with rigid lines that
interrupt the brush strokes flow. Tiny little trees soften the inflexibility of the town. They are
bringing nature into the unnaturalness of buildings.
One of the most significant points of interest in this painting is that it came entirely
from Van Gogh's imagination. None of the scenery matches the area surrounding Saint-Paul
or the view from his window. As a man who religiously paints what he sees, it's a remarkable
break from Van Gogh's usual work.
The contrast in styles plays on the natural versus the unnatural, dreams versus reality.
Nature could even be attributed to the divine in this work. In Genesis 37:9, Joseph states, "And
he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a
dream more; and behold the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me." -
predicting that one day his family would bow to him as an authority. Some people associate
this quote with the painting.

Perhaps it is a reference to Van Gogh's family, who doubted his career (with the notable
exception of his brother). It could be that Van Gogh simply wanted to breathe in the higher
power into his art, as he grew up in a religious household. Divide the painting into three
parts.
The sky is divine. It is by far the most dreamlike, unreal part of the painting, beyond
human comprehension and just out of reach. Go down one level to the cypress, the hills, and
the other trees on the ground. They bend and swirl, still soft angles that match the soft swirls
of the sky. The last part is the village. The straight lines and sharp angles divide it from the
rest of the painting, seemingly separating it from the "heavens" of the sky. However, note the
dots of trees rolled through the village, how the spire of the church stretches up to the sky. Van
Gogh brings God to the village.
There are various interpretations of Starry Night, and one is that this canvas depicts hope.
It seems that van Gogh was showing that even with a night such as this, it is still possible to see
the light in the houses' windows. Furthermore, with shining stars filling the sky, there is always
light to guide you. It seems that van Gogh was finally being cured of his illness and had mostly
found his heaven. He also knew that he would be at peace in death and further portrays this
by using bold colors in the Starry Night painting.
In a letter to his brother, Theo, van Gogh comments: "I should not be surprised if you
liked the Starry Night and the Ploughed Fields. There is a greater quiet about them than in the
other canvases. " Later in the letter, he refers to Leo Tolstoy's book My Religion and its lack of
belief in the resurrection. Such fleeting mentions of religion echoed van Goghs feelings
towards the subject at this time; he could neither forget it nor accept it.

2
Despite this, his use of the word 'quiet' and reference to Tolstoy's book indicates that
the night sky made him feel calm and brought to mind eternity. Starry Night shows the vast
power of nature and the church spire and cypress tree- representing man and nature - both
point to the heavens.

Claude Monet painted Impression: Sunrise in 1872 in Le

Havre, France. The scene is a natural look at the docks in
the town and is a concentration on the effects of the sun on
the sea. (2020, Impressionism: Sunrise, Artble.com )

EXPRESSIONISM: Mood, Idea or Message:
FAUVISM The artist's wife, Amélie, posed for this half-length
portrait. She is depicted in an elaborate outfit with classic
attributes of the French bourgeoisie: a gloved arm holding a
fan and a fancy hat perched atop her head. Her costume's
vibrant hues are purely expressive, however, when asked
about the dress's shade. Madame Matisse was wearing
when she posed for the portrait, the artist allegedly replied,
"Black, of course."
Function:
Femme au chapeau (Woman with a hat) marked a
stylistic change from the regulated brushstrokes of
Matisse's earlier work to a more expressive individual style.
His use of non-naturalistic colors and loose brushwork,
which contributed to a sketchy or "unfinished" quality,
seemed shocking to the viewers of the day.
Artwork: Woman With Hat
Artist: Henri Matisse

EXPRESSIONISM: Mood, Idea, or Message:

DADAISM
Mystery and Melancholy of a Street is one of Giorgio
de Chirico’s unmatched images of empty public spaces
rendered in simple geometric forms. The painting
represents an encounter between two figures: a small girl
running with a hoop and a statue present in the art only
through its shadow.
The girl is moving towards the source of bright light
coming from behind the building on the right and
illuminating the arcades intensively on the left. The bright
yellow corridor stretched up to the horizon separates two
zones: light and darkness.

Function:
If you look closely at the two sharply contrasted
buildings, you will notice that lightning is not their only
distinction. De Chirico intentionally used two different
vanishing points. A point in the picture plane that is the
intersection of the projections (or drawings) of a set of
parallel lines), thus destroying any resemblance to reality.
Artwork: Mystery And
Melancholy Of Street
Artist: Giorgio de Chirico

5
All of the lines of the fully illuminated building on
the left meet slightly above the horizon. The alignments of
the dark building meet when the truck roof touches the
yellow of the ground.
One last detail concerning the perspective is an
isometric depiction of a truck, or freight car, mysteriously lit
by a light coming from…well, nowhere. This juxtaposition of
light sources and perspectives enabled de Chirico to create
a mysterious and impossible universe where spaces will
never converge. The girl will never reach the statue.
The predecessor of the Surrealist movement,
Giorgio de Chirico, intentionally subverted fictive spaces.
Typically city squares bordered by arcades or brick walls to
create the enigmatic experience and refute reality.
EXPRESSIONISM: Mood, Idea, or Message:
SURREALISM It was the first appearance of the famous soft
watches that will become one of Dalí 's most beloved
symbols. Time melts, abandoning any claim to be an
absolute reference. With some references to Albert
Einstein's new Relativity Theory, according to which time
became a flexible, questionable coordinate.
If time is no longer reliable in real life, how
meaningful can it be in the dreamlike dimension?
Therefore, the persistence of time is relative: time is
Artwork: Persistence of unstable and volatile, and our memory is probably the only
memory
way to provide durability and stability. Simultaneously, the
Artist: Salvador Dali
concept of persistence becomes a hoax: the sensations
given by the painting are everything but a sign of
perseverance and solidity.
Function:
The presence of the natural elements in the
painting explains the landscape, the mountains, and the
olive tree, which become the last relics of a transition from
the realistic dimension to the dream one. A passage that
occurred in Dalí's mind in that precise moment. The white
figure lying on the ground looks like a closed eyelid
(sleeping). However, many have interpreted it as a self-
portrait of Dalí himself, in the center of his painting.
The leftmost clock, the only one with a solid
appearance, is invaded by ants, one of Dalí ‘s phobias. It is
considered the symbol of decay. The fly on the clock on the
table, on the other hand, suggests that time is not only
melting, but it gets rotten. Time, the last of the coordinates
falling under the shock of modernity, is under attack.
Without that, we no longer have footholds. The painting is
the fresco of the loss of all certainties.

EXPRESSIONISM: Mood, Idea, or Message:
SOCIAL REALISM
The Miner's Wives by Ben Shahn takes a bitter look
at one of the lifestyles of the early 20th century - that of the
down-trodden coal miner. In the foreground of the picture,
we see the miner's wife referenced in the title. She carries a
sad expression, her back turned to an older woman and a
child, presumably her mother and her offspring. Two men
walk away into the distance, and one set of clothing hangs
above, unclaimed by its owner. The woman has just
informed of the mining accident, which claimed her
husband's life.

Function:

Artwork: Miner’s wives The red brick wall behind her expresses the anger and
Artist: Ben Shahn torment she's feeling. It has to because she must remain
stoic for both her child and the world at large. She can't
rage at the mining company, and she must not let her child
see fear, so Shahn gives this wall the most brilliant, angry
color he can muster to express what she's feeling. The wall
is also a divider, separating the wives' miserable, lonely
existence from the mining bosses who walk away calmly.

EXPRESSIONISM: Mood, Idea, or Message:

NEOPRIMITIVISM In 1909, after a meeting Constantin Brancusi,
Modigliani began to produce sculptures by carving into
stone, completing about twenty-five works throughout his
short career. The style of these abstracted, elongated heads
echoed in his subsequent figure and portrait paintings.
Fittingly, this particular head, with its secure connection to
African Sculpture, was initially owned by the American artist
and African art Collector Frank Burty Haviland.

Function:
Amedeo Modigliani sought to establish a new
sculptural language, inspired significantly by African and

CUBISM
"Girl Before Mirror" March 1932. Produced in the style
Picasso was using at the time and evoked an image of
Vanity such as had been utilized in art in earlier eras.
Though Picasso shifts the emphasis and creates a very
different view of the image, the work is considered in terms
of the erotic in Picasso's art. Critics in different periods
have offered their assessments of the work to show a wide
range of reactions. The young girl was named Marie Therese
Walter and was painted multiple times during the 1930s by
Picasso.

Function:
Artwork: Girl Before When you look closely at the image, you can interpret
A Mirror many different symbols within different parts of the
Artist: Pablo Picasso painting. The woman's face for one; is painted with a side
profile and a full-frontal image. One side shows the day
time where she seems more like a woman, dolled up with
her make up done. On the other side, with the rough
charcoal texture portrays her at night. When she takes off
the mask of makeup, she is more vulnerable as a young
lady. One way of interpreting the painting is when the
woman looks at herself in the mirror; she sees herself as an
old woman. From the green discoloration on her forehead,
darkening of her facial features to the lines that show that
her young body has been distorted, and gravity has taken
its rightful place. Another way of viewing the painting is
that she is self-conscious, and she sees all the flaws in
herself that the world doesn't see.
ABSTRACTIONISM:
FUTURISM
Mood, Idea, or Message:

Painted in 1915, the year Italy entered World War I,

this work reflects a Futurist declaration of the same year:
“War is a motor for art.” Although poor health prevented
Severini from enlisting in the military, he was obsessed by
this first fully mechanized war. Living in Paris, he
witnessed the city's bombardment. From his studio, he had
an aerial view of the Denfert-Rochereau station and trains
transporting soldiers, supplies, and weapons.

MECHANICAL
STYLE Leger had a unique fascination with cities. "How I
will gobble Paris up if I'm lucky enough to go back there!,"
he wrote in a letter from the frontlines of World War I. Leger
was not afraid of urbanization and the effects that it would
bring. He wanted to make the cities part of him. The city
points the way artists should engage with the uprising of
the towns around them.

Function:

images and bright colors characterizes perfectly a typical
metropolitan.

Mood, Idea ,or Message:

ABSTRACTIONISM:
NONOBJECTIVISM The exodus of European artists to America was a
widespread phenomenon during those years, and for all of
them, the new physical and intellectual environment
brought about changes in their art. As a result of the
impact of Manhattan and American culture, coupled with
the interest Mondrian had developed in jazz music years
earlier, his painting lost its previous rigidity and acquired
greater freedom and a more lively rhythm. From the outset,
he was powerfully attracted by the dynamism of the great
Metropolis. Its quadrangular layout and towering
buildings, which, as he used to say, were "the furthest from
nature, " but also by the latest developments in rhythm and
Artwork: New York City counter-rhythm in jazz and by the new boogie-woogie style

that had fascinated him earlier in Paris.

Function:
The paintings of the American era have a lot of
different colors compared to the gloomy canvasses ruled by
black lines, as they are in Europe. What's more, in these
lazy allegro rhythms, Mondrian has only a new sense of
harmony that he has learned in his new surroundings; this
is the rhythm of modern Metropolis. An example of a new
cultural model, New York City, has a radical influence on its
picture.

ACTION PLANNING applied to unprimed, unstretched canvas laying flat on the
floor rather than propped on an easel. The applied pigment
in the most unorthodox means; poured, dripped, dribbled,
scumbled, flicked, and splattered. The artist also used
sticks, trowels, knives, in short, anything but the
traditional painter's implement to build up dense, lyrical
compositions comprised of intricate skeins of line.

on the floor, always moving all around it while applying it
and working from all four sides.

EXPRESSIONISM: Narrowly separated, rectangular blocks of color hover in
COLOR FIELD a column against a colored ground. Their edges are soft and
PAINTING irregular so that when Rothko uses closely related tones,
the rectangles sometimes seem bare to coalesce out of the
ground, concentrations of its substance.

Function:
The green bar in Magenta, Black, Green on Orange, on
the other hand, appears to vibrate against the orange
around it, creating an optical flicker. The canvas is full of
gentle movement, as blocks emerge and recede, and
surfaces breathe.
Just as edges tend to fade and blur, colors are never
entirely flat. The paint solidity in their intensity besides
hinting at the artist's process in layering wash on a wash. It
also mobilizes a robustness a shifting between solidity and
impalpable depth.

ABSTRACT Mood, Idea,or Message:

EXPRESSIONISM: When we look at One and Three Chairs, we draw to
CONCEPTUAL ART admire its beauty, nor are we presented with a relatable
story or a figure to b admire. Instead, we are invited to
consider the concept of what a “chair” is, as well as the
nature of visual and linguistic representation itself—
fundamental questions that Plato asked more than two
thousand years ago. Like the Greek philosopher Kosuth,
he focuses the idea of a "chair," rather than merely its
physical representation. But he also reveals the importance
of the viewer's role in the function of conceptual artwork. It
is not until we approach pieces such as One and Three
Chairs and begin to intellectually engage with them that the
actual "artworks"—the concepts—emerge. In this sense,
Artwork: One and Three conceptual art can only exist in tandem with its audience
Chairs and is created anew each time we view it.
Artist: Joseph Kosuth

10
This emphasis on the viewer's participation was also
important for the related movements of performance and
participatory art, which gained momentum as well
beginning in the 1960s.

Function:
One and Three Chairs stripped art of its outer
casing and celebrated; instead, the importance of the
conceptual for both the artist and the viewer. Importantly,
it also stripped the artist of his or her role as a romantic
and existential agent of personal expression (an aspect of
art that was increasingly important from the nineteenth to
the mid-twentieth century). The conceptual artist appears,
instead, as a philosopher questioning the nature of reality
and the social world in which art and audience reside.
ABSTRACT
EXPRESSIONISM: Mood, Idea or Message:
POP ART “In August 62 I started doing silkscreens. I wanted
something stronger that gave more of an assembly line
effect. With silkscreening you pick a photograph, blow it
up, transfer it in glue onto silk, and then roll ink across it
so the ink goes through the silk but not through the glue.
That way you get the same image, slightly different each
time. It was all so simple quick and chancy. I was thrilled
with it. When Marilyn Monroe happened to die that month,
Artwork: Marilyn Monroe I got the idea to make screens of her beautiful face the first
Artist: Andy Warhol Marilyns.”-Andy Warhol
Function:
Half of the Marilyn diptych was heavily pigmented
while the other half was colored in black and white. Overall,
the work was a commentary on the relation between
Monroe’s life and death.
The Marilyn Diptych format, 1962, mirrors the form of
a Christian work of art depicting the Virgin Mary on one
side and the crucified Jesus on the other. The comparison
with the religious work references the idolization of Marilyn
Monroe

A PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS

A painter’s work of art mirrors his or her emotions, personality and story in life. An artist’s
artwork is a materialized idea, a visual representation of what the artist had in mind. The colours they use
could represent a lot of things, even the subject of the painting implies something. The red brick wall
from the miner’s wife expresses anger and torment, the shining stars from Starry Night symbolizes Hope,
the girl from the painting, girl before a mirror shows a self-conscious woman. Those artworks I
mentioned is a journey all its own.
What do I mean by journey all its own? The artwork is not purely a product of nothing,
nor it was created out of boredom. The artwork was created by an artist who went a lot of things in his or
her life. Vincent Van Gogh, created the Starry Night out of his imagination, not from a real scenery, but It
mirrors the sufferings in his life and the hope he has for himself. The wife from the miner’s wife grieves
knowing her husband died. She feels angry and tormented. The artists use their pain, their joy to create
wonderful and remarkable work of art.

PERFORMANCE Activity # 2: VINCENT’S HAND

We will be doing art using the technique Impasto as if we are Vincent Van Gogh!
Ready your Materials Now!
Materials:
 Colouring Materials (You may use cooking ingredients or any paste-like substance
that can give color: Toothpaste, Catsup (Ketchup), Mayonnaise, Cheese Spread, mixed
coffee powder, and white mayonnaise)
 Blank sheet of paper

12
 Pencil
 Popsicle Stick / Flat end of the handle of a spoon

Reminders: Ask permission to your parents. You will need the following ingredients from the kitchen,
asking for enough amount for your painting.
Procedure:
1. In a blank sheet of paper, sketch a particular image you want to paint or you may choose
one of the given examples on different art movements.
2. Lay the colors on your paint area in thick layers, usually thick enough that the
popsicle stick strokes are visible. Colors can also be mixed right on the surface.
When dry, impasto provides texture; the colors appear to be coming out of the
canvas.

Note: The result might not be as exactly as expected because of the alternative materials used, but
whatever the outcome after drying is acceptable.
