Team 5

To get started, each one of you should pick a new theme--not one of the ones that you chose as a class--and connect your NEW theme to one work of art of your choice. It doesn't have to be in your textbook. IMPORTANT: use the "comment" function below this post so that you create a thread for your group.

  1. Hey guys,
    I like the theme of landscape/nature. Towards the Impressionist period there were a lot of works done that displayed a lot of nature (Monet's "The Bridge" and Seurat's "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte"). I think it would be easy to create a good display with works like this, since they often very in vertical and horizontal shape.

  2. I was thinking maybe an exhibit about the development of perspective, starting with Giotto and then maybe working towards modern and the negation of it. I'm not sure if this would make a comprehensible exhibit though. I also like Chelsea's idea of landscape/nature.

  3. I really like both these ideas. I was thinking it might be interesting to do an exhibition about how the concept of the beauty and the ideal human figure changes over time. I think it's really interesting to see how the "perfect human figure" is a product of the time period. One piece that would relate to this is the piece we just saw in class, Giovanna Tornabuoni by Domenico Ghirlandaio.

  4. I like these ideas also. I was thinking about doing an exhibition including landscapes from different times in order to compare and contrast how landscape painting has changed over time. We could include works such as Sunset with Elk, Herman Herzog.

  5. In class we decided to focus on the changes in portraying landscapes throughout history in France.
