What is the final activity suggested in the video script for further understanding of Abstract Art?

The final activity suggested is to create your own artwork integrating the characteristics of the Abstract Art movement. Participants are to use a short band paper, put a title on their work, and their output will be assessed based on a provided rubric.

🎨 Introduction to Abstractionism and Obstructionism

This paragraph introduces the topic of the video, which is the exploration of art styles within the Obstructionism movement during the 20th century. It defines Obstructionism as a logical and rational approach to art, characterized by the use of geometric shapes, patterns, lines, angles, textures, and swirls of color. The paragraph distinguishes between representational abstractionism, which still depicts recognizable subjects, and pure obstructionism, which does not. Key characteristics of obstructionist painting are outlined, such as the emphasis on formal qualities over subject matter, the use of vivid colors, and the rejection of realistic three-dimensional perspective. The paragraph also introduces different styles within Obstructionism, including Cubism, Futurism, Mechanical Style, and Non-Objectivism, and mentions Pablo Picasso as a pioneer of the Cubist movement, with examples of his famous artworks.

🚀 Futurism, Mechanical Style, and Non-Objectivism in Art

The second paragraph delves into specific styles within the Obstructionism movement, starting with Futurism, an Italian art style that emphasizes motion, force, speed, and the strength of mechanical forms. It highlights Gino Severini as a leading futurist artist, known for his dynamic depictions of modern life. The Mechanical Style is described as a precise and neat assembly of basic forms like planes, cones, spears, and cylinders, influenced by the Futurist movement. Fernand Léger, a prominent Parisian artist, is mentioned for his personal style of obstructionism that reflects the speed and dynamism of society. Non-Objectivism is introduced as a style that does not use figures or recognizable objects, focusing instead on logical geometrical forms for balance, unity, and stability. Piet Mondrian, a Dutch painter and art theorist, is recognized as a pioneer of abstract art, with his work reducing artistic vocabulary to simple geometric elements. The paragraph concludes with an activity for viewers to create their own artwork integrating characteristics of the abstractionism art movement and a rubric for assessment.

Keywords

💡Abstractionism

Abstractionism refers to a broad range of art movements that emphasize the use of color, form, and composition for expressive effect over accurate, representational depiction of visual reality. In the context of the video, Abstractionism is the overarching theme, with the focus on the characteristics and evolution of various abstract art movements.

💡Objectives

The term 'objectives' in the script outlines the learning goals for the students by the end of the lesson. These include defining Abstractionism, explaining the style, discussing artists associated with the style, creating an artwork in the Abstractionist style, and appreciating the contributions of renowned Abstractionists.

💡Representational Abstractionism

Representational Abstractionism is a subcategory of Abstractionism where artists reduce scenes into geometric shapes, patterns, lines, and colors, yet the subjects are still recognizable. This concept is contrasted with pure abstractionism, which does not depict any discernible subjects.

💡Cubism

Cubism is a style within Abstractionism characterized by the use of geometric shapes to represent subjects from multiple viewpoints simultaneously. The script mentions Pablo Picasso as a pioneer of Cubism, aiming to reflect the modern age's complexity through a new way of seeing.

💡Futurism

Futurism is an art style that originated in Italy, emphasizing themes of speed, technology, and objects in motion. The script cites Gino Severini as a leading member of the Futurist movement, whose works depicted the dynamic sensations of the fast-paced, machine-driven age.

💡Mechanical Style

The Mechanical Style is an Abstractionist approach that focuses on the precise arrangement of basic geometric forms to evoke the impersonality of the machine age. Fernand Léger, mentioned in the script, is known for his work in this style, reflecting his fascination with modern technology.

💡Non-Objectivism

Non-Objectivism is a logical, geometrical conclusion of Abstractionism where works do not depict figures or recognizable objects. Piet Mondrian, as highlighted in the script, is a key figure in Non-Objectivism, known for reducing his artistic vocabulary to simple geometric elements to achieve balance and unity.

💡Geometric Shapes

Geometric shapes are a fundamental element in Abstractionist art, used to construct compositions that move away from traditional representation. The script discusses their use in various styles such as Cubism, where they break subjects into basic forms and planes.

💡Famous Artworks

The script provides examples of famous artworks by Abstractionist artists, such as 'Girl Before a Mirror' by Picasso, 'Sea Dancer' by Severini, and 'Composition with Red, Yellow, and Blue' by Mondrian. These works exemplify the artists' unique approaches to Abstractionism.

💡Activity

The script concludes with an activity for students to create their own Abstractionist artwork, integrating the movement's characteristics. This activity is designed to apply the knowledge gained from the lesson and is assessed based on a provided rubric.

Highlights

Today's video discusses Art Stain Quarter 1 Module 2, focusing on the characteristics of various art movements, especially Abstractionism.

At the end of the lesson, students should be able to define Abstractionism, explain its style, discuss the artists of the style, apply the technique, and appreciate its contributions to art evolution.

Abstractionism in the 20th century is characterized by logical and rational geometrical shapes, patterns, lines, angles, textures, and swirls of color.

Representational Abstractionism depicts recognizable subjects through geometrical shapes, patterns, lines, angles, and color swirls.

Pure Abstractionism does not recognize any subject at all, focusing on the artwork's formal qualities rather than its representational subject matter.

Characteristics of Abstractionism include vivid yet arbitrary colors, reconstructed shapes, rejection of realistic three-dimensional perspective, and the use of geometrical elements.

Cubism, one of the Abstractionism styles, is named for its use of the cube and its focus on planes and angles in art.

Pablo Ruiz Picasso, a pioneer of the Cubist movement, challenged conventional art forms and developed a new way of seeing that reflected the Modern Age.

Futurism, originating in Italy, is an art style inspired by motion, force, speed, and the strength of mechanical forms.

Gino Severini, an Italian painter and leading futurist, depicted the dynamic sensation of the fast-paced, machine-propelled age in his works.

Mechanical style, a result of the Futurist movement, features basic geometric forms such as planes, cones, spears, and cylinders, arranged precisely.

Fernand Léger, influenced by Cubism, developed a personal style of Abstraction that manifested the speed and dynamism of contemporary society.

Non-Objectivism is a logical, geometrical conclusion of Abstractionism, where works do not refer to recognizable objects or forms but focus on balance, unity, and stability.

Piet Mondrian, a Dutch painter and art theorist, is known for pioneering 20th-century abstract art, reducing his artistic vocabulary to simple geometric elements.

Mondrian's shift from figurative painting to an absolute style culminated in compositions using only primary colors, black, and white.

An activity is proposed for further understanding, where students create their own artwork integrating the characteristics of the Abstractionism art movement.

The assessment for the activity will be based on a rubric, ensuring the integration of Abstractionism characteristics in the students' artwork.
