Over the years we have unravelled and developed our skill of art and photography. It started way way back! In 1907 - 1920 we had Cubism and Picasso. Now obviously they were huge for creative skills in art and photography etc. Picasso and many other people in that particular time were evolving how we look at art.
Furthermore, art in the 1920's to the 1930's led the way for a range of modernist art styles, which were less decadent and often inspired by Egypt. In my opinion, the art in the 1920's/ 1930's was very interesting. It contained art such as cubism, and Art Deco as well. Some of the pictures below cubism and how it has been implemented into modern day fictional characters such as Spider-Man, Boba Fett, Superman, Wonder Woman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and many more! So all the art that came to be back then, still exists today and has given us a new look on art and character design etc.
When we move past the 1920's and 30's and head into the 1940's, World War II had already begun in 1939, so heading into the 1940's was a tough time. However, the 1940's gave birth to many styles of art because of what was happening around them at the time, being involved with the war let their imaginations and life experiences thrive into making new styles of art that we still use today. Abstract expressionism is one of the many art styles that was born during WWII, not only that, but it also put New York at the centre of the artistic world! Below there are some very famous art painting using expressionism.
In the 1950's pop art came into existence. Pop art is an art movement that merged in Britain in early 1950's then later in to the United States. When pop art came to exist in the United States, it marked the return of hard edged composition and representational art. Pop art included adding imagery from popular culture such as advertising, new and many more. Pop art often contained comic books and similar imagery. Early pop art in Britain was a matter of art and Dadaism explored some of the same subjects. Pop art replaced the destruction of what used to be.
The 1960's many artistic impulses began to arise. The 60's had the famous artists of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, so the 60's were a great decade for artists and art in general. Art started to be explored through music, film and many more. Also the 1960's was still famous for it's pop culture, they started using household objects and other items to change their art etc.
Now in the 1970's art focused more on environment or small ideas on a large scale. In this era art such as Earth art, land art and many more arose in this era, even graffiti art. This art challenged our minds and helped us to connect with the environment around us, for example; The Spiral Jetty, is considered to be the central of American sculpture, Robert Smithson. The Spiral Jetty is environmental artwork which was created in early 1970's and was constructed to explore chaos and order, how natural forces such as wind, rain, sun, snow etc. effected the art piece over time. Illusionism, photo realism, and hyperrealsim were also well know in the 1970's. These types of art sought to question their interpretation of reality. Illusionism shares the physical space with the person looking at it. On the other hand, Photo Realism is the genre based on painting a photograph.
Graffiti art in my opinion is the most interesting because it can be about anything and mean anything. Sure that is like most art today, however Graffiti art does it in a more imaginative and creative way (of course this is in my opinion) because i think Graffiti art is more for people who enjoy colour, shapes and characters all put together. Some amazing things have been created using graffiti art, and also with other art techniques.
Art in the 1980's art became bigger in scope, ambition, theme, budget, promotion and cultural presence. People who had a lot of art liked to think it suggested that they we're rich and had power. During the 1980's collecting art was a sign of one who had education, lifestyle and class. In the 1980's a lot of art was nearly double the size, and most of the art consisted of many shapes put together to create other shapes and so on. Here's a few examples;
So art in the 1980's as i was saying consisted of shapes, now if you look at the red picture, you can make out someone lying on a chair, however the entire picture consists of many shapes. The other picture however, consists of lines and patterns. So really the 1980's art explored more with using a shape or object and using it to create something else entirely.
Over the years we have unravelled and developed our skill of art and photography. It started way way back! In 1907 - 1920 we had Cubism and Picasso. Now obviously they were huge for creative skills in art and photography etc. Picasso and many other people in that particular time were evolving how we look at art.
As you can see 'Creative Spark' has worked with some famous brands from around the world, especially some major big companies such as; SONY, Universal, BBC and Manchester United. So therefore they would have to be very professional and experienced to work with companies such as these.
