The History of Contemporary Art
Abstract ExpressionismMid 40s – 50s: 1st new
style to arriveEmphasizes abstract
elements of art instead of recognizable subjects; Stresses feelings and emotions
Major Artists: Hans Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Josef Albers, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning
Abstract ExpressionismAction PaintingEmphasized the spontaneous,
physical act of painting (dripping, splattering, pouring, etc.)
Major Artists: Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning
Color Field PaintingColor for the pure sense of colorHas a calmer, almost spiritual
qualityMajor Artists: Mark Rothko and
Helen Frankenthaler
Shimmering Substance (1946), by Jackson Pollock
No. 61 (Rust and Blue) (1953),by Mark Rothko
Optical ArtMid 50s – 70sUses scientific
knowledge of vision to create optical illusions of movement, relying on the careful manipulation of the elements and principles of design
Major Artists: Bridget Riley, Victor Vasarely, MC Escher
Movement in Squares (1961), by Bridget Riley
Pop ArtLate 50s – 60sArtists portrayed images in
pop culture and mass media.
Began in Great Britain and spread to the US as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism; it’s playful and iconic, not psychological and spiritual.
Major Artists: Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, and Claus Oldenburg
Campbell’s Soup I (1968), by Andy Warhol
MinimalismLate 60s – PresentArtists sought absolute
simplicity, using a minimum of art elements: shape or color.
Hard-edge paintings: emphasis is on crisp, precise edges
Major Artists: Frank Stella, Donald Judd, Ronald Bladen, and Dan Flavin
Harran II (1967), by Frank Stella

COLOR SCHEMES & PSYCHOLOGY
Baroque Period (17th century)
Natural color palette with few bright colors, other than red and gold
Impressionism (19th century) Brighter more vivid colors
used to capture emotionPost-Modernism (20th century)
Contemporary artists push the limits of color use
History of Color in Art
Color Scheme: Monochromatic
One hue with its tints, shades, and tones
Example-Blue with tints, shades, and tones
Color Scheme: Analogous
Colors next to one-another on the color wheel (usually either warm or cool colors)
Example:Red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange
Color Scheme: Complementary Opposites on the
Color Wheel
Examples:Red & GreenRed-Orange & Blue-Green
Create contrast when placed in a composition next to one another
Color Scheme: Triadic
Formed by three equally spaced colors on the wheel
Example:Red-orange, yellow-green, blue-violet
Color Scheme: Split-Complementary
Uses a base color, and the two colors adjacent to its complement
Example:Red-orange, green, blue
Color Scheme: Neutral
Black, white, shades of gray, and sometimes brown Brown can be
created by mixing two complimentary colors
Can be considered earthy
Definition: Scientific study of how color effects one’s
mood
Color Psychology
Cool Colors: Appear to recede
Warm Colors: Appear inviting

Color Psychology: NEUTRALS
WHITE Clean, innocent,
pure, holy
BLACK Darkness, death,
mourning, despair, questionable character
GRAY Neutral,
unnoticed, somber, practical
BROWN Earthy, dirty,
crude
COLOR MEDIA
What is it? Fast-
drying paint containing pigment suspension in acrylic polymer emulsion.
Water soluble, but become water-resistant when dry.
Wide range of viscosities (thick, medium, thin body)
Can resemble other types of paint, or have its own characteristics
Color Medium- Acrylic Paint
Acrylic Surfaces Canvas is the best to use Avoid surfaces with oil or wax
(paints won’t adhere); avoid surfaces that may warp due to the moisture
Gel Media Used to broaden the technical
capabilities and results of acrylic paints.
Can alter consistency/thickness, reduce gloss, adhere things to the canvas, etc.
Color Medium- Acrylic Paint
What is it? Tubes of wood with an
inner core of clay. Instead of graphite, a dye coloring agent is used.
Used to create detailed drawings that require precision; good for fine detail, implied texture, linear perspective, etc.
Color Medium- Colored Pencils
Techniques Layering- creating depth
and new colors by applying undertones first
Burnishing- applying heavy layers of pencil until the tooth of the paper is completely filled in and the colors look blended together (use colorless wax blender or white)
Color Medium- Colored Pencils
FIGURE DRAWING
Figure Proportions Mass is represented
with: Trapezoids in front
views:
Ovals in side or ¾ views:
The height of an adult is approx. 7.5 heads high
Figure Drawing Techniques Spine-Mannequin
Technique Helps the artist maintain
accurate scale and proportion by plotting points and adding form
Gesture Drawing Using quick motions to
capture the essence of the figure’s pose
