General History of painting
Prehistoric Era

Historically, the art of painting is closely related to the image. Prehistoric relics show that since thousands of years ago, human ancestors had begun making drawings on cave walls for imaging important parts of life. A painting or drawing can be made only by using simple materials such as charcoal, chalk, or other materials. One of the techniques made famous prehistoric drawings of people cave is by attaching a hand on a cave wall, then chew the leaves or menyemburnya with stone-colored minerals. The result is a colorful replica hand-colored on the walls of the cave which can still be seen today. This convenience allows the image (and subsequent painting) to grow more rapidly than other branches of art such as sculpture and art ceramics.

Such as pictures, paintings mostly made on the plane such as walls, floors, paper, or canvas. In modern art education in Indonesia, this trait is also called the bi-dimension (two dimensional, flat dimensions).

Objects that often appear in works of ancient human beings, animals and other natural objects such as trees, hills, mountains, rivers and sea. The shape of the object being drawn are not always similar to the original. This is called the image and was greatly influenced by the painter's understanding of its object. For example, a picture of a bull's horn is made with the proportion of unusually large compared with the size of the original horn. This imagery is influenced by the understanding of the painter who thinks the horn is the most impressive part of a bull. Therefore, the image of one kind of object to be different depending on the cultural understanding of people in the region.

At one point, there are certain people in a group of prehistoric people who spent more time drawing than for food. They began to make good pictures and began to find that the shape and composition of a particular form, when arranged in such a way, would appear to be more interesting to be seen than usual. They began to find some sort of sense of beauty ideals in their actions and continue to do that so they become more expert. They are the first artists on earth and that's when drawing and painting began to lean into the art activity.


Classical era painting mostly intended for the purpose of:

* Mysticism (as a result has not been growing religion)
* Propaganda (as an example of graffiti on the ruins of Pompeii),

At this time the painting is intended to mimic as closely as possible the forms that exist in nature. This is as a result of the commencement of development of science and the awareness that art can communicate better than words in many ways.


As a result of too strong influence of religion in medieval painting experience penjauhan of science. Science is regarded as a magic that can keep people from devotion to God. As a result, any painting can no longer be in line with reality.

Most paintings in this era more of symbolism, rather than realism. So it was hard to find a painting that could be categorized as "good".

Painting in this period are used for propaganda and religious tool. Some religions that prohibit depictions of animals and humans encourage the development of abstract expressionism (the separation of elements of the "right" of the object).

Renaissance Painting

Starting from the city of Florence. After the defeat of Turkey, many scientists and humanists (including artists) who aside from Byzantium to Italy peninsula area now. Support from the family that controls the city of Florence deMedici against modern science and art of creating synergy both produce many new contributions to European culture. Art found new life in the rebirth of the classic era of art. Science in this city is no longer considered magic, but as new tools to take back power seized by the Turks.

The Industrial Revolution in England have been led to mechanization in many respects. Goods made by mass production system with high accuracy. As a result, the skills an artist's hand is not as appreciated as the engine has been replaced by an artificial smoothness. In response, the artist switched to the forms which can not be achieved by mass production (or if you can, would be a very expensive cost of manufacture). Paintings, works of art, craft and directed to the smooth curves are mostly inspired by the beauty of lines of plants in nature.
