HA1 Task 2 – Artistic Styles

Photo-realism
Photo realism is when an artist attempts to create a image that seems completely real to the viewer, these are usually inspired by actual pictures taken by a camera. these pieces of art appear indistinguishable from a photo e.g. taking a picture of a live place such as big ben and then a artist using their own skills to create a painting of the picture which seems just as realistic. to create a piece of art that seems so realistic multiple things will have to be taken into account such as lighting , shading, weather, depth and others while also using the best way to draw out these aspects.





photorealism is used in games like GTA V, Call of duty and in the new the last guardian show beautiful graphics that seem incredibly real.

Cell shading
cell shading is a way to make drawings  or animations look comic like so its the exact opposite of what photo-realism is, this is done by taking a 2D drawing and shading it to make it look 3D. the game that comes to mind when i think of cell shading is definitely the borderlands series, they are not in any way my favorite games but i have to respect and acknowledge the unique art style that isnt really used in games that often because of how cartoony and unrealistic it is.





Other games that use this are usually games based off of cartoons and anime such as the Naruto ninja storm games, One piece Burning blood, tell tales the walking dead and legend of zelda: wind waker




Abstraction
Abstract art was a trend in painting that appeared in the twentieth centrury. Absract art is differnt from traditional from hopw others represent objects by looking at how forms and colours work together and breaks away from the original mold. by changing the 'normal' way forms, colours, shapes and lines work together, another point of abstract is that it is not objective to anything in particular and tries to show off the artists emotions in a very artistic way yet non realistic way.





The first games that come to mind that use abstraction is Tetris, Gemotry wars and the very new Rez Infinite that will be coming out on Playstation VR, these games are usually very hectic and colorful which can get a bit out of hand




Exaggeration
exageration is when something is is showed to be far greater in proportion like in any caricature, they are usually used in either comedy or can also be used is horror, expressions like overeating can be shown with these by having big cheeks or a huge stomach and horror can be shown by having a character looming over others.





in anime games exaggeration is used on different things ranging from muscles to weapons such as Ichigo's zanpakutou is especially big, the key blades in kingdom hearts and the hair and muscles from Dragon Ball Z games especially a character called Brolly
