In Japan during a period between 1603-1868 was called the Edo Period also it has been known as the Tokugawa Period. The Edo Period was catigorized by economic growth,strict social order,Isolationist foregon policies, stable population and overall peace. Below are three different artists that show the differance in styles during this period.It was filled with richness and wealth you will be able to feel it with these paintings. 




                                                                                 Artist 



Katsushika Hokudsi created The Great Wave Off Kanagwa in 1831  its 25.7cmx37.9cm on a woodblock print, Its a ukiyo-e style. The painting is of three boats moving through a storm in the sea with cresting eaves forming, Mount Fuji is in the background. This print of this painting became the artist most famous print that many musiums. The perssian blue was a game changer for Japanese prints, it was a graphical perspective developed in Europe. I chose this artwork because it is one of the most popular styles during this time and i grew up learning about it in art classes. Hokudsi uses a lot of line work to show the waves capsizing he uses different values of blue and white, also The form of the waves is about 2d/3d. 



                                                                        Artist 





Ogata Korin created Cranes in late 17th-18th centurey in Japan  its 166x371cm. Bold colors were influental during the Edo period it was a feeling of richness Behind them are waves and gold leafed clouds. Korin was part of the Rimpa school which is considered a rich decrorative style. He uses a lot of texture within the birds and the shapes of the waves enough thoug you would not think that they were waves gives it more of a classy feel to it, the color pallate he uses is very dark with the gold  as a bright color. I chose this for the style it was vastly different for this time period. This one is one of my favorite ones its simple but it feels rich with the color choices. Its more of an impressonist style 




Tosa Mitsunori created The night atttack of the sanjo palace created between 1650-1700,This one is a little different than the others this is actually a scroll of the heiji Insurrection of 1159-60  this was a short war with two other famous conflicts with a before and after. This is a unique artistry of this time period, something that was different than a normal panting or a woodblock. It uses a lot of shapes for each scene of each part of the scroll. There is a lot of space within the scroll but i feel as though it is used to break up scene of what is going on. This is an interesting concept of the growth of that time period.

    Janae ; The great wave is kinda relaxing. I love the colors and the little boats are very hidden. To think Cranes go as far back in art as Egypt . The texture in the birds is very great to see. I dont exactly know what is going on in the third picture.

Classical Era blog The Growing Economic Power of the Middle Class

                      Background  During The Growing Economic Power of the Middle Class in the 1700s artists started transitioning to making paintings of everyday life, landscapes, and portraits of middle-class people. The rise of wealth made it so that more individuals could afford commissions. The artworks below will show examples of everyday life, portraits and landscapes. The growing economic power of the middle class helped artists be able to profit and sell their paintings for more. Since the industry was offering  more jobs, more people worked and were able to spend large amounts of money either responsibly or irresponsibly.                                             Artworks    Marriage A-la-Mode: 1, The Marriage Settlement William Hogarth made a series of six p...

Art Analysis

About this art      Claude Monet's work has always been simple but also complicated, it uses a lot of color, space, and texture. The image below is one of his famous paintings Waterlilies and Japanese Bridge. In this piece this artist used his space very uniquely, This gives off a lot of dimensions the bridge takes up the most space but you can see it in the setting, and the pond gives off the most depth with the lilys The color palette is demonstrated is very limited mostly greens but it brings out the contrast in the flowers and the bridge, with a darker background and lighter front. Without a good color palette it's hard to achieve what you want in a painting it sets the mood. Texture is another vital part of this, without the textures given mostly in the background it gives off a certain tone to the setting, without texture you would not be able to tell those were trees and branches in the background even though they are not very detailed it still sets the mood for th...

Preferences and Perspectives - The Romantic Era

      The Romanticism Era lasted from around the late 18th century through the mid-19th century. It originated in Europe before spreading to other parts of the world, some styles that came out of this were Realism, Impressionism, and Post Impressionism. They wanted to express emotions being able to feel what you see in the paintings when looking at them. I will be presenting four paintings comparing Impressionism and Realism.                                                                                 Impressionism  Impressionism in simple terms is practicing painting our doors at random or spontaneously rather than being in a studio or making out your own sketches. This style is my favorite, It feels natural and more personal t...
