STYLE: ITALIAN RENAISSANCE
-Definition: The painting, sculpture and decorating of the mid 1400’s to late 1500’s , in Italy is
known as Renaissance Art or style. The Renaissance era was a time of achievements for art and
science. Renaissance means rebirth, it was a time when people returned to the ideas from
ancient Greece and Rome. Artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci formed part of these
age. The definition of Renaissance art or the purpose of it, was to portray the religion and
philosophy of the era, with a realistic view and human appearance in sculptures and paintings.
Renaissance was, in some way, a ignorant century were people didn’t express themselves as they
wish, this lead art to a point where only religious art was allowed.
-Description: The style of this old and interesting art was more religious scenes from the bible
than anything, deities and religion beliefs were in every painting of the era, marble was common
for sculptures and oil paints and frescos were very common. The realistic look of the paintings
and fine brush strokes gave the artworks a feeling of vivid life in every artwork of this era.
“THE CREATION OF ADAM”
“The Creation of Adam’’ is one of the best known artworks in
the world. This famous painting has a very interesting area of
emphasis, where the fingers of Adam and God touched, it stands
out because the area is smaller than everything else around it .
Other principle of design that he use was variety, making
everything look like it belongs to a place and making everything
look realistic. Also movement, making some lines touch the
edges of the artwork.
INTERPRETING MICHELANGELO‘ S
ARTWORK .
As we read before, in Renaissance art, there was
no other point than Religion, it communicates
religion philosophy and religious beliefs. The
‘’Creation of Adam.’’ is about God creating the
human and religious character, Adam. Being a
Renaissance painting, this artwork gives a mood of
seriousness and lack of feeling.
SUCCESSFUL
I believe that this artwork is successful, it communicates
and gives the feeling of being a renaissance painting, the
human-like appearance I believe its perfect. I choose
Michelangelo for my project because I think that his artworks
are very interesting, I am really surprised how realistic and
beautiful they look, these kind of artworks are not common
anymore and I think that the way he combined the colors is
perfect.
ARTIST STATEMENT.
I created an artwork that uses the style of Renaissance similar to the
artist Michelangelo. My artwork shows influence from this style by using
realism and fine brush strokes.
The emotion that I was trying to express with this artwork is
seriousness. I showed this by drawing the boy without any expression. I
use soft colors, like pink and beige. The scene is just a boy, showing that
he is not excited about anything that is happening around him.
The area of dominance in my artwork is the gray eyes. This area stands
out because it’s lighter than anything else around it; I made that area to
be brighter.
