   CAPTURING MOVEMENT- DRAWINGS: WATTEAU REVIEW:

   I found this interesting app which is very useful for the drawing students.

   The revival of Baroque Art (Rococo) would not be possible if it weren’t for the paintings of Antoine Watteau. He was a French painter who took a lot of interest in color and movement, redefining Rococo art in France. He is also very much passionate about theatricality in art and he often takes inspiration from ballet and Italian Comedy. He even created a painting inspired by Pierrot from Commedia dell’arte. His works are very influential as his works were noted to preempt new artistic movements like impressionism. His influence in fashion led to 18th century pleats at the back of women’s robes being named after him.

   I found this app at:

   If you want to see a different side of his art, mainly his drawings, renderings and studies, then Drawings: Watteau is a fantastic app for you to enjoy. It consists of several drawings that are categorized accordingly based on them or by year. It is a beautiful digital catalog that shows his wonderful studies of the human body both in nude and clothed as well as landscapes and scenes. The work of Watteau is one that is enigmatic and celebrates his own artistic virtues. This app is a fantastic educational supplement if you are studying his work. He used these drawings later on for his paintings.

   If you are a lover of art and of beauty, you will be satisfied with how the app was created and compiled. It is an easy to use app with beautiful features like zoom, slide show and even emails functions to send the files to your friends who would be inspired by the works of Watteau.
