GOTHIC ART

Gothic art corresponds to the Middle Ages, Romanesque below. It is a dynamic period from the socioeconomic point of view, very varied, with intensive contacts with the East through the Crusades and trade routes.

The term Gothic was first used by wealthy Renaissance, in the pejorative sense, to refer to the art of the Middle Ages, which they considered inferior and Barbarian (gothic derived from Godo) compared to classical art.

Despite being a continuation of Romanesque, Gothic in quite different and even opposite attitudes are appreciated. If the Romanesque is known for his dark and recollection, the Gothic implies the opposite, light, color, elevation, expressivity and naturalism.

But ... How did born the art?

We could say that art is born of necessity of expression, or perhaps as an invention without intension
For the answer we must return to prehistory: where homo sapiens began to shape their daily lives and the current awareness of the world saw at that time. Representing hunting times, zoomorphic beings, and cousins ​​anthropomorphic symbols. Rock art embodied with natural pigments and using as support the gigantic caves inhabited. Today for many the beginning of our art arguably the characters composed of circles and lines, are based on that remote idea of ​​many thousands of years ago, our world has not ceased to be sensible.

The man as we see was using this art later as a record of their experiences, in time to capture the beauty of man and the world around him; But today thanks to these basic pillars we can see that contemporary art wants to take everything in the new world to the limit, which many people can not see or would like to see but we are not able to easily translate.

Rejection is a motivation

It is well known that not everyone has the same liking, so have the possibility  that to become artists, has not a good answer about the opinion of our work, and it's for several reasons: one of them would be some people prefer bright colors, and others simply black and white.


But when displaying a job, we should not let the comments of others go back negative, and should not affect our style and that we want to show our works.

It is important to know that when creating art, this lends itself to multiple interpretations, and be open to constructive criticism to help us improve in the future.

Obviously, not forget where you came from, and towards where you want to go. Much less should stop loving our own creations!

The music: also an art

Music is more than a set of sounds and words together coherently you hear pleasing to the ears of the recipients... as I said before, it is considered art because in songs and intensity to be show, it can express feelings and thoughts, may any songs that have no letter, and yet still considered art as they are able to transport us to some point in our lives and create happiness or sadness. And this seeks art: create a sense of what we see and that everyone interprets it in their own way.

What do you see?

Many know the painting Starry Night by Van Gogh, we have seen it many times, but today the question is ... what are you see on it? sometimes we don't stop to observe and detail the paintings or artistic works offered by the world, and we may be losing a great sense that hides on them, a meaning that could only be discovered by ourselves.
