    Thanks for watching! What do you find interesting with the Rococo art movement?

    • @mirandamaldonado5649

      What I find interesting is how the light and airy feel of the Rococo art movement is still present today through social media images, specifically family photography. Social media, at least in the past few years, has been using ''light and airy'' filters to give off a ''easy breezy, life great'' attitude. Though it may be true that people posting these types of photos, could be hiding or exaggerating reality, it's interesting how the same effect/style from Rococo is still being used today to covey the same feelings.

      The absolute beauty of it. It's all about beauty and indulgence. When I look at art I want to feel relaxed and transported to somewhere exciting and Rococo is the personification of that.

      I believe rococo and baroque are not art movements but they are art period. Please confirm or tell me how it is an art movement if you think it is.

    This is so pleasing! I truly love that the artists of the time while paid by the aristocracy also had this rye sense of humor and sarcasm. They were documenting the life and ideals of aristocracy but were also very bold in their mockery of the escapades of the rich in such a politically charged time.
    I’m so glad you started with Rococo!

    Rococo is true greatness, but I must add that it truly pales in comparison to the highest, most grandest form of art - Socialist Realism. ;)
    Seriously though, I cannot deny that Rococo is top tier. It is truly unique in that it is a window into a completely new world of culture that is almost completely unrelatable to nearly all modern perspectives. The history, the stories, the emotions - all add to the grandeur of the movement. Even these small glimpses into the lives of the French aristocracy seem ridiculous, possibly unbelievable if not for the reality of these remnants and artifacts of their wealth such as Versailles. I would love to visit France and be able to feel just a taste of that Rococo energy (although we'll be sure to stay far, far away from that "No no no" :D) Thanks for the great video Mrs. Alder!

    This was a really interesting video! I want to study art history once I graduate high school (I'm currently in 9th grade so I've got a ways to go!) and I love that I can learn background before I pursue it. I personally love rococo art for its colors, the playfulness of it, and the elaborate details. Love the video :D

    Love the way you present the material. Especially repeating the main points. Although the rococo is not political art, it does show the excesses of the aristocracy that led to the French Revolution at the end of the century. I like the colors and find it enjoyable to enter a little fantasy world for awhile. Lifts up my spirits. Have subscribed to your channel.

    I thought rococo came after neo classical

    • @ArtHistorywithAlder
      @ArtHistorywithAlder  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Fallen, the Neoclassical art period technically comes after Rococo. When we talk about art periods and movements, there is always overlap and transition periods. Rococo took off in the 1730s and flourished until the 1770s. Neoclassical started in the 1760s, reached its height in the 1780s and '90s, and then continued until the 1840s and '50s.
      If you haven't watched my video on the Neoclassical art period, here it is: czcams.com/video/ZZpsakljOAQ/video.html
