Principles of Art & the Barococo...

Here is a diagram you can download and use as a worksheet to practice integrating the Principles of Art with the Baroque and Rococo period. Remember to think through how Baroque and Rococo artists each used the Principles of Art differently to reflect the culture of their time as well as often the agenda of those commissioning the art.





On the right are some questions to further deepen your mastery of the material before the exam. At this point you want to be asking yourself....

 "How are the Principles organizing what I am looking at?" 

You could be observing a building, a candy wrapper, perhaps a tree or the flight path of a bird. The Principles are in effect be it by human hand or nature. There is also some key terms parceled out from the Baroque and Rococo lecture to help identify some of the impetus behind many works of art of the time period. Enjoy...
