Pre-Raphaelite

In the 19th century there was seven rebellious young men, that these men formed as Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood that these were artists that formed in London, so they can express themselves by creating new British Art. They used to inspire themselves from nature, literature from the Bible and Shakespeare.
Their name was called from the chief source of inspiration from modern paintings. There are always translate a sense of sincerity, seriousness and truth trough the nature. After they had an exhibit in London, that showed in the 1849 and many painting where exhibited. There paintings where on canvas and there aim was so they can express there feeling against corruption.

Their feelings where justice, pity and familiar relationship. There work was always critical and it was made with their composting of working. They used to use a lot of shadow, flatten their forms and used to make a wet white ground to colouration. One of their best writer was John Ruskin. He was a supporter to painting from nature that lead him to Gothic Revival paintings.

This type of work was plain-air made with little detail. In the 1850s the brotherhood diapered but some of them remained close friends. When this happened, it appeared new inspiration tough William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Morris in the 1861 opened a company and he used to design hand-craft object, household objects, and it was the beginning of the Arts and Crafts Movement.In 1860s, new artists, including Edward Burne-Jones, Simeon Solomon, and Albert Moore, were introduced to Pre-Raphaelite so they could be a refresh influence.

This new group by new individuals was named as the Aeasthic Movement in the 1870s - 1890s. This design was reflecting the Victorian period as the beauty that woman have in there harmony, form and composting was the most important. As there work became also more and more decorative they were also producing also new designs and be developed in Murals, Stained Glass, Furniture, Textiles, Jewellery and also wallpaper.

Design- Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution

 

This was a period of time that had a lot of changes, through  many things such as agriculture, textiles, transportation and more. It began in 1740 in England and had a lot of advance in agriculture and in the production supply of food. It increased the commerce, foreign and domestic conditions as well, and these were also an advert in this revolution that made these inventions easier and more practical that changed people`s life. So by this more people had work and with the mechanism they had more goods.

Before the industrial revolution began they had problems to cut wood and also to carry them from place to another because it was very expensive to carry them with ships.
They always searched new intelligent designers so they can produce innovative mechanism and the first designer was the system engine in the 1712. This was designed by Thomas Newcomer and John Calley that was a total success but the idea was of Jim Andrew. Thomas Newcomer after 3 years designed this engine. This was first designed and then built, but when it was built they were using a lot of coal to make it work.

Agricultural had the position of the way life was, in England and it was an important source for textiles industry and by that the wool and cotton industry was increasing each year. In this period the agricultural industry was improving by the new techniques and mechanism.

 

 

During the revolution people used to live in villages and working as a craftsmen or in agriculture. Most of the people used to work with their families. With these new mechanism many farmers and workers lost their job because the machines then where more efficient. And where more capable of huge outcomes. By this they had to move to other towns so they can make jobs although they had less hours and less money.

Education was a good effect to the Industrial Revolution because it was important to the Industrial Revolution to learn children new things. For example, these children needed to learn how to read so, they wouldn't be able to work a machine. The problem was that then there was a lot of children working. Families and children were forced to work because they were desperately needing money. They used to work eighteen hours each day strictly.

British used many money , so they can make a ship to have more protection, in the island of Integra [English Harbour].But the problem was that by this work, many people were treated as slaves and then they used to live short life. By this work the government managed to make a lot of money because he didn't used to pay the people.

In this Revolution many people thought about their negative changes only, but there were also some positive changes. Some of the positive changes included that people were educated, new inventions were made and some machines were improve, and they improved on buildings with 6 Six new investments that where built.

It all began from an exhibition in Pairs that created this movement of Impressionism .This group of artists joined together, so their diversity through painting made this movement. There were also a lot of critics, which they were saying that they had a sketchy and unfinished appearance paintings, but then there was some writers, that liked them the way they made the paintings in a modern way. 

Impressionism had a strong influence by simple and bold Japanese wood block prints. It was produced by the use of unmixed primary colours and little small strokes to it, will be similar to reflected light effect. They also used to make details and express there reality of living or their mood. These used to be in a small scale so it allow for completion the spot.

This work was rejected from Napoleon III and made an exhibition for rejected paintings called ‘The Salon of Refused’. There was a lot of people that where criticizing through years and know they are one of the top artists. From all the critics there was a woman called Louise Leroy, who wrote a review and she called it `The exhibition of the Impressionists`, but it didn`t make a good name for them because they were used to paint with exact proportion with details. She was inspired from the painting of Monet the Sunrise.

 

The Sunrise by Monet`s

So the name of this movement came from Monet`s painting: - ‘Sunrise’ this was one of artist of this movement.
