History of drawing by Yanely

Baroque Period

4500 BCE

The Baroque is a highly ornate and often extravagant style of architecture, art and music that flourished in Europe from the early 17th until the mid-18th century. It followed the Renaissance style and preceded the Rococo and Neoclassical styles. It was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a means to counter the simplicity and austerity of Protestant architecture, and art and music.

Ancient Greece

3500 BCE

Ancient Greece was a civilization belonging to a period of Greek history from the Greek Dark Ages of the 12th–9th centuries BC to the end of antiquity (c. AD 600). Immediately following this period was the beginning of the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine era.

Ancient Egypt

2465 BCE

Ancient Egypt can be thought of as an oasis in the desert of northeastern Africa, dependent on the annual inundation of the Nile River to support its agricultural population. The country’s chief wealth came from the fertile floodplain of the Nile valley, where the river flows between bands of limestone hills, and the Nile delta, in which it fans into several branches north of present-day Cairo.

History Of Drawing

2000 BCE

When we speak of drawing as an art form, we are referring mainly to an artist's use of line to make a picture. However, the definition of drawing can be expanded to include the use of color, shading, and other elements in addition to line. Drawings can be made as finished works of art. But they are also made for other reasons. One of the first main functions of drawing has been as a first step in the preparation of a work of art in another medium.

Fauvism

1905 BCE

Fauvism is derived from the word "Fauve," meaning "Wild Animals," which was coined by a critic of the movement and the name stuck. Additionally, Fauvism is the style of les Fauves, a group of early twentieth-century modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.

1800s and 1900s

1868 BCE

This treaty limited Chinese immigration. Chinese had been immigrating since the 1830s. Many had come for the California Gold Rush in the 50s, and to work on the railroad in the 60s. The 19th century was a century that began on January 1, 1801, and ended on December 31, 1900. The 19th century saw large amounts of social change; slavery was abolished, and the Second Industrial Revolution led to massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit and prosperity.

Ingres and Goya

1700 BCE

Ingres and Goya were pioneers in using the new manufactured pencils and evolving the subject matter of drawing. Sometimes called the father of modern art, Spanish artist Francisco de Goya painted royal portraits as well as more subversive works in late 1700s and early 1800s.

Middle Ages

1428 BCE

Between October 1428 and May 1429, during the Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453), the city of Orleans, France, was besieged by English forces. In 1415, the Hundred Years’ War between England and France entered a crucial phase when the young King Henry V (1386-1422) of England invaded France and won a series of decisive victories against the forces of King Charles VI (1368–1422).

Renaissance

40 BCE

The Renaissance is a period in European history, covering the span between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is an extension of the Middle Ages, and is bridged by the Age of Enlightenment to modern history. It grew in fragments, with the very first traces found seemingly in Italy, coming to cover much of Europe, for some scholars marking the beginning of the modern age.The intellectual basis of the Renaissance was its own invented version of humanism, derived from the Roman Humanities.

Beginning Of Human History

30 BCE

The time where the beginning of human history started was the beginning of the Sumerian Cuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of coherent writing from the protoliterate period was around the 30th century BC. I would include this in my timeline because In "The Purpose and History of Drawing" it states a bold world that says "Pre-Historic" to me this means that we have to include a event of a pre-historic time event.
