EXPRESSIONISM

Is the name given to a movement involving artists more concerned with the recording subjective feelings and responses via distortions of line and color, than with the faithful representation of outer reality.

Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas. Expressionist artists sought to express meaning or emotional experience rather than physical reality.

SURREALISM

Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for its visual artworks and writings. The aim was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality.

many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact. Leader Andre Breton was explicit in his assertion that Surrealism was, above all, a revolutionary movement.

Surrealism developed out of the Dada activities during World War I and the most important center of the movement was Paris.

INSIGHTS

I Learned that art is not just an art, it is a product of man’s way of expressing something that can’t be expressed, they put efforts and time to make it. Just like me when I cannot express something like sadness, frustration or happiness I cook something, when I’m happy the food taste good but when I’m sad I’m the one that it’s the food I cook. I also learned that patience is a virtue like the artist they patiently wait for there masterpiece to be done, Like me I patiently look for pictures that would be used as an example.hehe that’s all thanks^_^
