19th-century artists challenge to Academy

Academic art is a style of either painting or sculpture production influenced by the European literary arts. Beaux-Art architecture is closely related to academic art as it holds the same classical ideal. The painting and sculpt expressed thoughts and statements, values, and ideas concerning an object or subject.

Although academic art was influential, it brought along the challenge to theoretical values. Academic art was not into the concerns, wants or the interest of an individual. Some of the significant difficulties with the art were unclear communication, social identity, capabilities are ignored, and economic and social imbalance.

Some art and sculpts do not give precise information on the message they are to put across, especially to those who cannot translate them. There is also misinterpretation of the message being put on a cross by different paints as different people see and judge their opinions. The art of a bird on a tree may be used to show a sign of peace, but another person interprets it as love for nature, unlike in modern academics, where a written message is given to be read and understood by most people.

Not all people are interested in art, but literary art does not give an alternative option for a student to choose from. This is a challenge to the academic values, which are more concerned with the interest and what the learner wants to identify him or herself with. The potential of a learner is also not given any concern. A learner may be capable of doing a good write-up, but since it is only available, it remains hidden and not utilized.

Art has different segments, which are; artistic purpose, subject matter, and content. All this has contributed to the change in art expectations. The purpose of art has transformed from being a mechanical or technical skill to a contemplated and introspected thinking. The area of concern that has led to the inspiration of art may be a cultural, historical, or formal context that has changed the subject matter in art. Art is no longer a decorative piece to an emotional and our way of thinking as a person. A piece of art has helped change how we think and appreciate certain perspectives of life like diverse cultures and communities and their participation in different aspects of life.

Art is still one of the many ways to express one’s thinking and appreciation of different things. Giving the proper art education without forcing it on people brings out the effectiveness of art and can convey the intended meaning. The theoretical values have contributed significantly to this by getting the interest direction of a learner, nurturing it, and ensuring the learner produces what was intended and not the instructor’s order. This provides the people seeing the art or sculpts able to derive intended meaning.

19th Century Art Concerning Modern Life

Artist in the 19th century has in one way or the other described modern life in different arts. Some artists used their skills to describe the emotional and psychological effects of the transformation. An example is a painting showing a stripped person with an anxious face. This shows a person deprived of what he knew and meeting a new world with no idea how to go about it. This shows the transformational journey and its consequences.

Some other arts were used to show the kind of lifestyle coming or being experienced in modern life. Art leads people to a gathering with drinks and specific modes of dressing that were not seen in the 19th century. The art explains the day-to-day life of people, the modern life of partying, and the indecent mode of dressing that has come along with the lifestyle.

Art colors also gave different phases in the transformational journey to modernization. Some artists used dark colors to express the difficulties to be experienced during the transformation. Bright colors with a shade of white were used to encourage patience in the transformation process to modernization which is vivid in the modern world.

The human figure was one of the significant arts used to send or express ones thinking or art direction. A human figure with strokes was a sign of a hinder or a courageous person. Some on vases or walls showed cultural beliefs and trust. A human figure, especially interiors, led romance and quietness—Pastel color, which raised the worker’s mood. A figure drawn with casual clothes that is bright with a pose shows confidence in the person. A person with dull colors and looking straightforward was depicted to show vulnerability and easy to be taken advantage of.

The human body was also used to express optimal beauty. The journey to explore the human body was used to the technological rapid change in the development of many life areas. The political and social changes were also artistically shown using the human body, which transforms as time goes by. This art depiction is vivid in the current rapid change in almost all aspects of life from social, political, and even cultural elements. The use of colors on women’s art figures also gave meaning to the described type of woman. A woman figure with blank ink and white background indicated simplicity in a woman. Others showed immorality and others chaotic

Whether modern or ancient, art always gives a broad message than spoken words to those who can deduce it. Technology has improved art in many aspects and made it more apparent to everyone despite being an artist in the contemporary world. This has contributed to many people developing an interest in artwork. Art has also boosted the economy as it used a skill to earn a living among people with the desire to venture into it without being forced. Art is food for thought.
