“Every artist dips in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures”. Henry Ward Beecher
T: Now look at the quotation of a well-known English writer W. Somerset Maugham.

“There is nothing but art. Art is living. To attempt to give an object of art life by dwelling on its historical, cultural or archaeological association
is senseless…” (W.Somerset.Maugham“TheSummingUp”)
Read the poem!
Life is like a piece of art,
It requires lots of heart.
Choose your paint and your brush
Take your time avoid the rush
Before your paint, choose your theme
Do not be afraid, to follow your dream.
It is alright, to make a mistake
Your painting is real , it is not fake.
Look at your painting, do not be crying,
Begin again, keep on trying
Your painting is never fully complete,
Enjoy the process, make sure it is sweet.

Renaissanse
This epoch started in 14 and lasted until 17 century.
The Renaissance period in art history corresponds to the beginning of the great western age of discovery and exploration, when a general desire developed to examine all aspects of nature and the world. Art, during this period, became valued- not merely as a vehicle for religious and social identity, but even more as a mode of personal, aesthetic impression. During the Renaissanse there were many drastic changes in the style of art. Early renaissance artists sought to create art forms consistent with the appearance of the natural world and with their experience of human personality and behavior, and artists studied the way light hits objects and the way our eyes perceive light. These artists made on effort to go beyond straightforward transcription of nature, to provide the work of art with ideal, intangible qualities, giving it a beauty and significance greater and more permanent than actually found in nature. A new kind of paint called oil paint was used. This allowed the artists to creature texture, mix colors. The most famous Renaissanse painters are Leonardo Da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Raphael ,Titian and Michelangelo.

Classicism came to Ukraine from central and southern Europe in the mid 18th century. It influence was felt first in Western Ukraine. The masters of decorating painting, which was very typical of the period and was widely used in the palaces in Ukraine, were Hryhorii Stetsenko, Kozakevych, Kosarevsky.

Romanticism or the Romantic Era – 18-19 centuries was a complex artistic, literary and intellectual movement that originated in the second half of the 18th century in Europe, and gained strength in reaction to the Industrial Revolution. In a revived clash between color and design, the expressiveness and mood of color, as in works of Turner, Francisco Goya, emphasized in the new prominence of the brushstroke and impasto the artist’s tree handling of paint. The art of Aivasovkiy was greatly influences by romanticism.

Realism followed Romanticism in the 19th century. Realistic paintings show things as they really are, as they appear to most people.

Impressionism is a style of painting used especially in France in the 19th century, which uses color instead of details to produce effect of lights or feelings. Impressionism is linked with artists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, August Renoir, Alfred Sisley and others. The leading exponents of Ukrainian impressionism were Oleksa Novakivsky, Olersandr Murashko, Vasyl Krychevsky, Mykola Hlushchenko, Oleksii Shovkunenko.

Surrealism appeared in the 20th century. Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte were famous surrealists. In their works they used strange dreamlike images.

Cubism
Pablo Picasso became one of the most famous modern artists, working in many different styles from delicate pastels to striking Cubist colours where he wasn’t trying to create lifelike pictures. He distorted space and broke things up into angular shapes. This style became known as Cubism.

Expressionism
At the beginning of the 20th century in Germany there developed a style known as Expressionism. Expressionist artists use exaggerated shapes and scenes to try convey feelings, as in the works of Edward Munch.
