Week Seven. Industrialisation.

Industrial Revoloution (18th to the 19th century) was where changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and transport had effected economic and cultural changes. Industrialisation which influenced almost every aspect of daily life in some way, is “the process of social and economic change that transforms a human group from a pre-industrial society into an industrial one”

. Its purpose is for manufacturing.

Monet's 'Impression sunrise' was majorly influence by the new technology that was discovered but mostly the camera. The industrial revolution was quickly changing the world and influencing the impressionists. Since the invention of the camera, painters for the first time were not responsible to portray only realism as the theme of their work. Impressionism was given the name as it would capture the new up and coming movement. The brushstrokes would mix naturally to theeye (with some distance), how the human eye actually sees. earthy coloured were used as well as the use of primary and secondary colors. Bright reds, yellows, blues, greens, violets, were a few used. The painting was displayed in 1874 during the first independent art show of the Impressionists. Monet once said "Impression — I was certain of it. I was just telling myself that, since I was impressed, there had to be some impression in it … and what freedom, what ease of workmanship! Wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that seascape." In the 19th century during the industrial revolution, paris's newly modern city become a favorite subject to the impressionists, including the modern transportation.

Olafur Eliasson's 'weather project' was installed at London's Tate Modern as part of the Unilever series in 2003.

Eliasson used humidifiers to create a fine mist in the air through a mixture of sugar and water. Also, semi-circle disc which radiated to create a yellow light. The ceiling consisted of a huge mirror, which when people went in, they saw themselves as black mini shadows amongst an orange light. Many people reacted by lying on their backs and waving their hands and legs.
