Blog 5: Drama. Drama. Drama.

      If you are looking for an artwork that gives so much importance with the very small details, then you are sure not to leave this page. Today, we will be talking about the artwork that defines drama- the Baroque Art.

      In the late 1500s up to the 1700s a new innovation for arts took place. Baroque played a very important role for the world of art because it set a personal attachment for both the observer and the artwork itself. It's more convincing in view of the fact that it make use of the following characteristics:

Motion. The signature look of the artists during this time took advantage of playing with space and time, to end up with creating a motion. The power of movement also made it as if it had a life.

  One fact that I've learned (as of my research from www.academics.smcvt.edu) is that during this period a general knowledge has been proven. That the scientific researchers knew that the Earth is in motion. And this knowledge contributed a lot in this big leap.

Tension. Although there are acts of somehow stretching or the elongation of a body, still the forces between the two are equally distributed. This is used to show that there is a tension happening.

      

         For me, this is the coolest characteristic of Baroque. Knowing that this is also the most challenging element. You should be a real artist to be able to show tension in an artwork.

Details. It is the very small details that makes up the whole to be perfect. Every details are important in showing what we want the observers to see. 

Drama. In the four corners of a canvas the actors and actresses are in a freeze action. They are ready to play their individual roles. Although in a freeze action the enactment of a particular situation is really convincing. Drama was used to build a theater inside an Art museum.

Grandeur. It is the motion, tension, details, drama and other elements that makes the art Grandeur. This are the ingredients that makes it quality state and impressive.

          And that's Baroque Art.
