FINE ARTS
❖ The term "fine art" refers to an art form practised mainly for its
aesthetic value and its beauty ("art for art's sake") rather than its
functional value.
❖ Fine art is rooted in drawing and design-based works such
as painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso,
and many others.

FINE ARTS
PERFORMANCE ART
❖ Performance art is a genre of art in which the artwork is
presented "live," usually by the artist, but sometimes with
collaborators or performers.
❖ It was originally used to describe any live artistic event that
included poets, musicians, filmmakers, etc.
❖ Performance art has roots in experimental art of the late 19th
and early 20th centuries.
❖ The earliest examples found influences in theatrical and music
performance, art, poetry, burlesque, and other popular
entertainment.
PERFORMANCE ART
❖ Performance art can be traced back to the Futurist Manifesto,
which was published by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso
Marinetti in 1909.
❖ However, performance art as we know it today emerged in the
1960s and 1970s, as part of the larger conceptual art movement.
❖ Yoko Ono, who first explored performance art in 1962 with the
artwork, Wall Piece for Orchestra, elaborated her practice
inviting the audience into a more explicit, unveiling live
experience of the female body.
❖ some of the most important early performance artists include
Carolee Schneemann, Yoko Ono, and Marina Abramovic.
BALLET
❖ Ballet is a formalized form of dance that originated during the
Italian Renaissance in the 15th Century as a court of
entertainment.
❖ The dance technique became formalized during 15th and 16th
centuries.
❖ It was introduced to France by Catherine de Medicis in the
16th centuries, where it developed even further under her
aristocratic influence.
❖ the word “ballet” itself is a French word derived from the
Italian word “Balletto,” which means “to dance.”
MOVEMENTS IN BALLET
❖ There are multiple steps referred to as the “movements in
dance.” There are three movements that ballet/dance
beginners learn.
❖ plie (plee-ay): to bend. Keeping both feet flat on the floor at
all times, bend your knees. Remember to send your knees
directly out over your toes!
❖ releve (ruh-leh-vay’): to rise. This can be done on one foot or
both feet together. Start with the feet together, keep the knees
straight and lift the heels high enough so all of your body
weight is on the balls of the feet – NOT the tips of your toes.
Repeat this on one foot.
❖ saute (soh-tay): to jump. This sort of jump is performed “two
feet to two feet.” This means that you leave the ground by
jumping off of both feet at the same time and you land on both
feet at the same time. Begin in a plie (as described above).
Using your feet the same way you did to perform releve,
propel yourself into the air. Be sure to straighten and extend
your legs in the air, but land in plie to cushion your knees.
❖ Ballet is also known for its use of specific positions and movements,
such as the basic positions of the feet, as well as hands.
Acting
❖ the performing art in which movement, gesture, and
intonation are used to realize a fictional character for
the stage, for motion pictures, or for television.
❖ Acting can take many different forms and can be seen
in a variety of mediums, including theater, film,
television, and other forms of media.
❖ Acting requires a range of skills, including creativity,
empathy, and the ability to adapt to different situations
and challenges. It can be a highly rewarding and
fulfilling career, but it also requires hard work,
dedication, and a willingness to constantly learn and
grow as an artist.
Acting ❖ The earliest forms of theater can be traced back to
ancient Greece, where plays were performed as
part of religious festivals and civic events.
❖ According to tradition, in 534 or 535 BC, Thespis
astounded audiences by leaping on to the back of a
wooden cart and reciting poetry as if he was the
characters whose lines he was reading. In doing so
he became the world's first actor, and it is from
him that we get the world thespian.
❖ In ancient Greece, actors wore masks and
costumes to portray characters and used a
combination of dialogue, music, and movement to
create a compelling performance.
