PERIODS

LET US KNOW

Art reflects every aspect of our lives and exists in almost everything that
we see around us. All cultures throughout history have produced art.
Neoclassical and Romantic periods have different use and function of
artworks based on their art forms but all of those, contributed in the
development and establishing the importance of arts in our lives today.
In the middle of the 18th century, Neoclassicism was born out of
rejection of the Rococo and late Baroque styles. Romanticism began in the
same era but its approach had to do with the modern or new rather than the
traditional.
In this lesson, we will study the derive mood, idea, or message from
selected artworks, as well as their use or function by evaluating their
utilization and combination of art elements and principles, using the different
art forms like painting, sculpture and architecture in the Neoclassical and
Romantic Periods. Furthermore, you are going to trace art’s history and
characteristics and learn about it through the Neoclassical and Romantic
artworks whose influences today were highly visible in style of paintings,
sculptures and other artworks.

LET US REMEMBER

Art has its uses and functions which contribute towards the
development of human society by stimulating our imagination, expanding our
awareness and perspective on ideas. Artworks are used to convey messages,
emotions, traditions, and history.

Neoclassicism is the name given to the Western movements in the

decorative and visual arts. Also, it applies to literature, theatre, music, and
architecture that draw inspiration from the classical art and culture of
Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. It also expresses their ideas of nationalism,
courage, and sacrifice in their artworks. Romanticism is a reaction to the
classical, contemplative nature of neoclassical pieces. Landscape painting
became more popular due to the peoples’ romantic adoration of nature. It also
encouraged expressing individualism, emotions, and nature as a portrayal of
their artworks.

LET US PRACTICE MORE

During the Roman period, landscape painting also became more

popular due to peoples’ romantic adoration of nature. Landscape painting
depicts the physical world that surrounds us and includes features such as
mountains, valleys, vegetation, and bodies of water. The sky is another
