Looking at briefly two chapters of the famous John Berger book ’ Ways of Seeing’ It is difficult to summarise a book of such a wealth of knowledge and such a clever way of phrasing ideas. The slide presentation gives one a sketch of two chapters. Chapter one which discusses the image versus the photo, seeing versus words and there are a few quotes from John Berger but also the link to the You tube clips. This is a good A-level presentation and then to get the students to listen to the first two chapters on video clip. Students need to question how an image has lost its meaning through the advent of the camera and begin to draw a comparison of images before the camera and after the camera. Students should also look at how the way we have reproduced the female form through the ages from Antiquity to the 21st Century and think about the meaning of what it is to be nude and what it is to be naked. John Berger has a lot of ideas on this and there are lots of phrases from his book discussing this concept and showing some examples of this in some major artworks. One can never make justice of this incredible book but the slide show does allow for discussion in the class on important concepts and understandings we have of images in our time.

German Art Historian, Heinrich Wolfflin in his “PRINCIPLES OF ART” (1915) isolated five opposing factors which he defined as the difference between High Renaissance and the Baroque style. This can further relate to the contrasts in MODERN ART MOVEMENTS There are the 5 main ways of interpreting forms with examples of the work of Heinrich Wolfflin that is: 1. painterly, linear, 2. closed, open, 3. planes and recession, 4. multiplicity, unity, 5. clearness and unclearness. Wolfflin supports a theory on ways of analysing a painting and examples of style which he formulated between the Renaissance and Baroque style and this gives a good interpretation of the differences in ways of depicting a subject. In the slide presentation examples are chosen to show the differences in style and hopefully students begin to understand the terminology used and begin to look at the ways different works are composed. The styles of Wolfflin also link to modern art movements like for example, painterly characterizes the work of Pierre Bonnard, Francis Bacon, Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh, Rembrandt or Renoir. Linear characterizes the work of Vermeer or Ingres. The Impressionists and the Abstract Expressionists tended strongly to be "painterly”, while movements such as Pop Art or photo-realism emphasize flatness and could be referred to more as linear. This also helps A-level students find their particular strengths and to make them reflect on what particular style they enjoy doing in their own work and gives them an excellent sense of vocabulary to use when analysing artworks and gives them an understanding of using art vocabulary when critically analysing their own and artist’s work. Students after reviewing the following slides on Wolfflin’s theory and discussing what the differences are in style begin to formulate their own essay on style using 2 artworks of your choice. TASK: Write an essay on two different artworks and analyse the composition and structure of the artwork in relation to the theories of style of Wolfflin. Begin to not only discuss the visual appearance of the subjects but try to relate this to the influences and background of the particular artists you choose.

This is a short visual display of how perspective developed from the early Medieval paintings through the key artists in the Renaissance: Giotto, Masaccio, Brunelleschi, Leonardo and then the Dutch artists and then to Cubism. It shows you how artists have developed a window on a flat space through first of all basic means of overlapping, placement, symmetry and story telling and how this changed with Giotto and Masaccio (use of light and dark shading) and how Brunelleschi brought the grid and camera obscura to develop a window to the world in his paintings. It further looks at Leonardo’s example and how he developed this linear perspective but then continues with the development of chair-scuro (light to dark shading) and their oil paint blending to continue developing the illusion of reality on a flat surface in their Still life paintings. The presentation ends with how this has now returned to a flat surface and the surface been treated as a wall again with the work of Cezanne and his brushwork painting and underpainting to develop an illusion of space. Cubism and its multiple viewpoints show how Art has now returned to a wall and Braque and Picasso’s work show how they have now fractured space and how the importance of creating an illusion of space on a 2D surface was not a priority but instead it was the overall meaning and idea that is important.
