Title: Artist, unknown Date: Paleolithic (30,000 BCE – 2,500 BCE) Things to look for in Stone Age Art: In ancient African caves (particularly in the area of Tanzania) cave paintings have been found that appear to be strikingly similar in theme. The exact purpose of Paleolithic cave paintings is not known. Evidence suggests that they were not merely decorations of living areas since the caves in which they have been found do not have signs of ongoing habitation. They are also often located in areas of caves that are not easily accessible. Some theories hold that cave paintings may have been a way of communicating with others, while other theories ascribe a religious or ceremonial purpose to them. The paintings are remarkably similar around the world. This African cave painting is thought by archeologists to be depicting an abduction. A masked male figure is seen on the right, unmasked figures at left. This painting was found in Kolo cave, central Tanzania. 8 Class 2 Fine Dining 6 Entries (3,500 BCE– 653 CE) - The Ancients of the Eastern World 2077-30 Hot Lips A functional table influenced by any single ancient culture 2073-50 Purple Easter Egg e.g. Chinese, East Indian, Egyptian, Japanese, Greek or Roman A functional table is defined in OJES on page 98 as a Show Table on which components are placed in a logical and utilitarian manner for the actual service of food. Staged: In the Atrium, on a 121.9 cm diameter x 76.2 high, (48” diameter x 30” high) table Register early. Only one colour of each cloth available.

Greek sculpture is known for its use of human figures. Roman artists sought to commemorate great events in the life of their state and to glorify their emperors as well as record the inner life of people, and express ideas of beauty and nobility. Their busts, and especially the images of individuals on gravestones, are very expressive and lifelike, finished with great skill. The earliest (surviving) Chinese paintings date to the Warring States period, and they were on silk as well as lacquerwares.The subjects of much of East Indian paintings are religious and literary. Many paintings are from Sanskrit and folk literature. Religion and Nature as a subject have influenced Japanese art significantly since Ancient time. 9 1121-6 Moss Point Green Pittsburgh Paints 531-6 Phantom Hue Pittsburgh Paints Class 3 First Peoples of the New World (1300 BCE -653 CE) - Native North American, Inuit, Aztec, Mayan or Inca Civilization A mosaic Influenced by any single ancient New World culture.

Title: Book of Kells Christus monogram, initials Date: circa. 800 AD Things to Look for in Medieval Art: Medieval art was produced in many media, and the works that remain in large numbers include sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, metalwork and mosaics, all of which have had a higher survival rate than other media such as fresco wall-paintings, work in precious metals or textiles, including tapestry. Artwork is typically very detailed, geometric interlace, and stylized, often incorporating animal motifs, with forms derived from secular metalwork like brooches, and typically spread boldly across religious manuscripts, such as the Book of Kells. A small design is defined in OJES on page 86 as a “design from 13.9 cm. to 25.4 cm (5 ½” -10”) and which must not exceed 25.4 cm. (10”) in any direction.” *Note: for the purposes of this show, the diagonal measurement shall not be restricted to 25.4 cm (10”). 11 Class 5 Splendor & Flourish 5 Entries SW6286 Mature Grape Sherwin Williams (1600-1750) - The Baroque Period A mass design In the Baroque Style, see note below: accessories permitted Staged: On a pedestal 30.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 101.6 cm high (12” x 12” x 40” high) Draped in fabric cloth colour Mature Grape No backdrop Area Allotted: Floor space allotted for pedestal 121.92 cm x 121.92 cm (48” x 48”) No height restriction Convenor: Lil Taggert liltovey@hotmail.com 416-809-9036 Artwork is an example of the time period only and is not intended to be replicated. Title: Vase with Flowers Artist: Jan Davidsz. de Heem Date: circa 1670 Things to Look for in Baroque Art: Dramatic use of colour. Dramatic contrasts between light and dark, light and shadow. As opposed to Renaissance art with its clearly defined planes and figures placed in isolation from each other, Baroque art has a continuous overlapping of figures and elements. Large containers held flamboyant mass arrangements containing many different kinds of flowers, such as iris, marigold, lily, peony, canna, poppies, narcissus, hollyhocks, and roses, as seen in the works of artists of this period. Accessories were often incorporated in these arrangements. 12 Class 6 The Triumph of imagination & individuality 6 Entries (1780-1850) - Romanticism A hat Fresh and/or dried plant material must predominate, accessories permitted Staged: On a black wrought iron pedestal A 48.3 cm (19”) elongated swan neck black plastic head, head tipped slightly upwards Stand to be provided to designer by class Convenor upon confirmation of pre-registration To be viewed and judged from all sides Area Allotted: Floor space allotted for pedestal 121.92 cm x 121.92 cm (48” x 48”) No height restriction Convenor: Irina Code irina.code@gmail.com 519-660-1823 Artwork is an example of the time period only and is not intended to be replicated.

Title: Sunset in Venice Artist: Claude Monet Date: 1908 Things to Look for in French Impressionism: Strong emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities Dramatic use of colour. Dramatic contrasts between light and dark, light and shadow. The Impressionists argued that people do not see objects but only the light which they reflect, and therefore painters should paint in natural light (en plein air) rather than in studios and should capture the effects of light in their work. 14 Class 8 Art Nouveau 5 Entries (1890-1910) - Long, Sinuous, & Organic 1121-6 Moss Point Green Pittsburgh Paints Jewelry A necklace constructed predominately of fresh and/or dried plant material.

Title: Fruit Artist: Alphonse Mucha Date: 1897 Things to Look for in Art Nouveau Art: Art Nouveau is characterized by its use of a long, sinuous, organic line. The distinguishing ornamental characteristic of Art Nouveau is its undulating, asymmetrical line, often taking the form of flower stalks and buds, vine tendrils, insect wings, and other delicate and sinuous natural objects; the line may be elegant and graceful or infused with a powerfully rhythmic and whip-like force. 15 Class 9 Abstract Art 6 Entries Early 20th century Imposed Class All information and material will be provided at the time of entry.

Title: Circles in a circle Artist: Wassily Kandinsky Year: 1923 What to look for in Modern Abstract Art: Geometrical elements took on increasing importance—particularly the circle, half-circle, the angle, straight lines and curves. Abstract art – ie. Wassily Kandinsky, František Kupka, Robert Delaunay, Léopold Survage, Piet Mondrian. An abstract design is defined in OJES on page 89 as a design in which plant material and other components, together with space, are used as design units e.g. line, form, colour and texture, to create original images free from unnecessary additions.

Title: Garrowby Hill Artist: David Hockney Year: 1998 A miniature design: Is defined in OJES on page 101 as a design with maximum dimensions of 12.7 cm (5”) in any direction (height, width, depth or diagonal). For good proportion the container should not exceed 3.5 cm (1 ½”) in height. *Note: for the purposes of this show, the diagonal measurement shall not be restricted to 12.7 cm (5”). The “Modern Art” period lasted for an entire century, roughly from 1870—2000, in which a gradual metamorphosis of the art world took place, reflecting the political and economic evolution of the world. Ushered in by such artists as Manet, Monet, Cezanne, Gauguin, Seurat, Van Gogh and in later years evolving with the work of artists such as Klimt, Picasso, Kandinsky, Hockley, Pollack and Warhol among others, the movement progressed through many genres from Impressionism to Pop Art. Much of this art was characterized by the introduction of different mediums, techniques, textures, the collage element, kinetic art, assemblage and merged subject matter. Noted for the expressive use of colour, movements of the “Modern Art” period, like Fauvism, Expressionism and Colour Field painting, were the first to exploit colour in a major way. 17 Class 11 Art That Moves Me 6 Entries A design Using only garden flowers and/or foliage, not commercially grown, create a personal work of floral art inspired by any painting that moves you.
