    The first piece of visual art in history is from 40,000 years ago. The need to create is a part of being human. It’s as old as our species and as innate as any other desire. Exploring each of these western art movements makes such a vast topic digestible.
    In this video, you'll see the evolution of art through the ages. A linear timeline filled with talented individuals over the years that always moves forward; towards something more, something new, something that excites a generation.

      Sometimes, we forget how powerful of a tool our daily devices are. It isn't 2nd nature for most people.
      Even then, it's good practice to reference. The channel creator did right by posting the title and artist. It sets a good example. Many new content creators tend to be negligent in this regard, this is part of what differentiates quality work from medoicre output.

    @priyasarda00 Рік тому +28

    fun fact about the venus of willendorf! i don't remember where i read this unfortunately, but it has been theorised that the reason the features of the body are so exaggerated is because the (assumably) women making these sculptures were using their own bodies as references and the only way they could view their bodies was by looking down, which creates a similar image to that of the sculpture. so the sculpture could definitely be a symbol of fertility, but it could also just be a sculpture of a woman looking down at her own body

    Nice summary of the history of Art Movements. Having a BA in 'Arts Management' and having been born and grown up in the West Flanders region of Belgium in the 1970s and 1980s I realize that I can express my personal life experiences through the most appropriate techniques from various art movements e.g., in 1970 film cameras produced photos that made the image seem somewhat warmer because they lacked vibrancy, clarity, and saturation, while others lacked pixels, which I can express through the technique of Pointillism from the Impressionism movement. I can also express the joy of my experiences that I encountered in objects, society, and the environment through Art Nouveau techniques to express the elements of nature such as in posters of outdoor public events and performances, and its people's enriched materialistic bourgeois roots and class, architecture, and its rivers and streams that drain water from the ocean to form the gentle curve of the smooth landscape of the low land country that lies at the lower end of the ocean. This provides a taste of my childhood growing up In West Flanders Belgium that I can express through various techniques in art movements.

    The video considers art in its most fundamental form, a way to communicate.
    And this genuinly makes me interested in the lives and mindsets of the people who lived in the past, it's so fascinating what they came up with by what was around them, unable to look at the internet or countless books

    Yes! Thank you for sharing and pointing out (near end of this video) that culture is also very important.
    Most of my art education was mainly focused on Europe and the US, aside from some Neanderthal and ancient art works from ancient civilizations that based in Africa, China, the Fertile Crescent, Middle East, the Orient etc
    We are missing so much and there are more artists, especially female artists that have not been mentioned here.
    Wassily Kandinsky is talked about a lot, but no one ever mentioned that he was influenced by Hilma AF Klint (she existed before Kandinsky), and her work is beautiful!

    To anyone who is newly into art, or traveling around Europe,if you ever have the chance, visit Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence. I know there are lots of popular museums and art galleries around here but if you only get the chance to visit one, it should be this. Personally, the Louvree doesnt even come close.
    The Uffizis feature mostly renaissance, and the art collection was started by the Medici. Besides all of the extraordinary paintings, there is so much history there. It is mesmerizing!
