| Describe a work of art that you find interesting using words from the unit. Post an illustration, if possible.
What do you think about modern art in general?
Is there a work of art that you find challenging or controversial? Provide an illustration with your commentary to solicit response from your classmates.
Is there an art movement / style that you find particularly appealing?
Do you agree with the following statement from the unit? --
"Perhaps because of the ubiquity of advertising, people tend to be more visually literate than they used to be, and so are perhaps inured to surprises. Perhaps new movements in art will meet with less hostility in future."
Describe a positive example of art used in advertising. Provide an illustration, if possible.
Describe a negative example of art used in advertising. Provide an illustration, if possible.
In what ways do you think has colour printing, television and digital representation affected our perception and appreciation of art (as opposed to seeing art live in galleries and at historical sites)?
Why do you think we use words connected with art when talking about literature? (See an example in section С of the unit.) Are there ways of discussing works of verbal art without resorting to visual arts metaphors?

I may not be a specialist in art, but I find all art really inspiring as it is an individual's self-expression. Yes, there are industries and styles that we don't embrace because we don't understand them, or they simply don't match with our aesthetic choice. But there is a place for all art!
I would like to highlight a couple of styles of painting, if we are talking about it. I'm very inspired by hyper-realism. It's a style that is truly vivid, like a photo. Artists dazzlingly betray details, I want to look at such paintings completely. I will add examples of such pictures.
Also, black and white easel graphics in painting win my heart. Simple and tasteful, isn't it? this style can also transfer the smallest details. Below are examples of the graphic style.

1. As a child, my mother reacted to my drawings as if they were something PRICELESS and PEERLESS.
2. If you think some art is a DAUB, it does not mean that you are right.
3. She has always strived striven to ensure that her works DEPICT a deep meaning.

| «Всадница» by K. P. Brullov
This painting is thought-provoking. Watching at it, we start to ponder what stands beyond the picture.
This famous painting depicts Countess Samoilov's female pupils. On the left is the youngest Amazia and on the horse is the eldest Jovanina.
According to the artist's plan, "Всадница" is a large portrait to adorn the front hall of Samoilova's palace. The portrait was commissioned by the Countess. She said more than once that she wants to drape all the walls with "his wonders".
The artist shows his ideal world. And in this world being is beautiful. There's the charm of childhood and the pride of youth. All this we can see on the faces of the little girls.
This painting is original - he renewed daily life and filled it with poetry and and tender colours.
In my opinion it is priceless.

There are many SCHOOLS of ART. Children should be INURED to good paintings in order they can distinguish ORIGINAL, HIGHBROW, CHALLENGING DAZZLING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING, PEERLESS and SKILLFUL paintings from LOWBROW ones.

I believe advertisements made by Mayakovsky and Rodchenko to be some of the best, at least some of the most known examples of art used in advertising. It’s a well-known fact that Mayakovski was a professional artist along with being a poet. Some posters, made by him in 1920-s are a proof of this.
While it may sound a bit weird today, I suggest that Ads can be a piece of art - works of Mayakovsky are not exceptional in their breed. There is a great variety of advertisements, created in the 20th century, which might be called masterpieces. Delicate works of my favourite Alphonse Mucha or beautifully-naive works of Pirosmani come to mind. Or, for instance, some video ads made by Salvador Dali. And they are all connected by ingenuity, and, what Mayakovsky thought to be important in advertising, diversity and imagination.

-----------------------------------
One of my favourite SCHOOLS OF ART is IMPRESSIONISM, which was developed by Claude Monet and other French artists in the second part of 19th century.
Instead of painting in a studio, the impressionists were capturing the moments, all the LIGHTS, SHADOWS, SHAPES and colours by working not in their workshops, but in front of their subjects they were DEPICTING, in the open air - “en plein air”. This resulted in a greater awareness of light and colour and the shifting pattern of the natural scene.

One of my favorite contemporary artists is Michel Basquiat. He is a self-taught American artist who has worked in the genres of graffiti and neo-expressionism. He used graffiti as a conceptual gesture and as a kind of VISUAL ART.
I think his work can be called provocative, THOUGHT-PROVOKING, INTRIGUING and quite SOPHISTICATED. At first glance, it is difficult to see a complete composition in his paintings, they are more filled with symbols, signs, words, logos, shapeless figures, numbers and many others.
Despite the chaotic composition, improvisational manner, seeming IMPENETRABLE, randomness in the choice of words and objects depicted, all of Basquiat's works were carefully thought out and constructed like a collage.
And although I don't have a favorite painting by this artist, I'm discovering something new in each of them. I find in his chaotic paintings a logically thought-out concept, a system. I also like the way Basquiat does not try to follow the canonical rules of fine art, he paints the way he wants. This feeling of freedom is transmitted to me through his paintings.

When I was in art school, we were taught art history, where we studied different styles, such as IMPRESSIONISM, Baroque, Romanticism. Later I immersed myself in this topic and realized that SURREALISM is very close to me. This kind of painting is ORIGINAL, THOUGHT-PROVOKING AND SOPHISTICATED.

| Describe a positive example of art used in advertising. Provide an illustration, if possible.
One positive example of art used in advertising is the iconic "I Love New York" campaign, which showcases how art can effectively promote a destination and evoke positive emotions. The campaign, created in 1977 by the graphic designer Milton Glaser, has become an enduring symbol of New York City.
The campaign features a simple, yet powerful, logo consisting of the phrase "I ❤️ NY" in bold letters, with a heart symbol replacing the word "love." The heart symbolizes affection and love for the city, while the bold typography creates a visual impact and immediacy.
The "I Love New York" logo has been widely used on various advertising materials, including billboards, print ads, merchandise, and even on taxi cabs and souvenir items. Its simplicity and universal appeal have made it instantly recognizable and associated with the vibrant spirit, cultural richness, and diverse attractions of New York City.
This positive example of art in advertising demonstrates how a well-designed and memorable artwork can effectively capture the essence of a place, evoke emotions, and create a strong brand identity. The "I Love New York" campaign not only promotes tourism but also instills a sense of pride and love for the city, making it a successful fusion of art and advertising.

Of all the painting movements, IMPRESSIONISM is the one that appeals to me the most. I like the use of sketchy strokes - energetic, large and COLOURFUL. And of all the impressionist painters I find Claude Monet PEERLESS.

| Modern art is a fascinating and diverse realm of creativity that challenges traditional norms and allows for innovative expressions of ideas and emotions. I appreciate how it pushes boundaries, provokes thought, and reflects the ever-changing nature of society. Artists often use various mediums, styles, and techniques to convey their messages, making modern art a rich and dynamic field.
However, modern art can also be divisive. Some pieces may appear abstract or unconventional, which can lead to differing interpretations and opinions. As a philologist, I might find the textual or linguistic aspects of contemporary art intriguing, as many artists incorporate language, symbolism, or wordplay into their work.
