Astonished by how difficult it was to put this collage together, I browsed the Internet seeking to find out more about Mondrian abstract art.
Mondrian was a Dutch painter who was born in 1872 (that's over 100 years ago!). At one time, Mondrian painted realistic landscapes, but as he painted more and more, his style began to change. He started to create abstract images. How did he come to paint this way? Well, the more Mondrian looked at trees, buildings, and vases, the more he saw their basic shapes and colors. You can try this too. Just squint your eyes while you are looking at something and all the details will start to disappear. You will see only shapes and color. no real objects. This is what Mondrian did. Eventually, Mondrian's style consisted of geometric shapes and primary colors. After all, every shape can be created from the basic geometric shapes and every color can be created from the primaries -- red, yellow, and blue. .
Abstract art would seem would seem to me as a nice, beautiful composition of shapes and colors drawn in an artistic manner. But those paintings were far more complicated than I considered them to be. I looked at the paintings with more attention and found out how amazing those paintings. Dynamic and almost alive, each piece has its own words and language. What once I thought trivial, now I can see as breathtaking. .
What is the purpose of this class? I believe that at the end of this course we would be able to recognize, understand and appreciate the meaning of artwork even more. After listening, discussing and learning all the terms to use when analyzing or describing a painting, I began to absorb a discipline that I was missing. I started to appreciate most works of art. I know now whatever the art might be; abstract, impressionist, realistic and other sorts of art that I might call strange, mean something. I learned to make the distinction between different arts styles and enjoy the experience of examining art.
