Translation

Leonardo Da Vinci was born in an Italian town called Vinci. He lived in a time period called the Renaissance, when everyone was interested in art. Even though Da Vinci was a great artist, he became famous for the other things he could do. He was a sculptor, a scientist, an inventor, an architect, a musician, and a mathematician. Da Vinci’s paintings were done in the realist style.

Realism is a type of art that tries to show things exactly as they appear in life. It began in the 18th century, but the greatest realist era was in the mid – 19th century. Most realists were from France, but there were some famous American painters who were realists too.

Surrealists’ paintings were generally based on dreams. Their paintings were filled with familiar objects which were painted to look strange or mysterious. They hoped their odd paintings would make people look at things in a different way and change the way they felt about things. Salvador Dalí was best known for the striking and bizarre imges in his surrealist works.

Լեոնարդո Դա Վինչին ծնվել է Վինչի անունով իտալական քաղաքում: Նա ապրել է մի ժամանակաշրջանում, որը կոչվում է Ռենեսանս և երբ բոլորը հետաքրքրված էին արվեստով: Չնայած որ Դա Վինչին հրաշալի նկարիչ էր, նա հայտնի դարձավ ուրիշ բաների համար: Նա քանդակագործ էր, գիտնական, ճարտարապետ, երաժիշտ և  մաթեմատիկոս: Դա Վինչիի նկարները արվել են ռեալիստ ձևով:

Ռեալիզմը արվեստի տեսակ է, որը փորձում է ցույց տալ ամեն ինչ, ինչպես իրականում կա: Այն սկսվել է 18-րդ դարում, բայց ռեալիզմի լավագույն շրջանը 19-րդ դարի կեսերին էր: Ռեալիստների մեծ մասը Ֆրանսիայից էին, բայց կային նաև հայտնի ամերիկյան ռեալիստ նկարիչներ:

Սուռեալիստների նկարները սովորաբար հիմնված էին երազների վրա: Նրանց նկարներում կային ծանոթ առարկաներ, որոնք նկարված էին տարօրինակ ձևով: Նրանք մտածում էին, որ իրենց տարօրինակ նկարները մարդկանց կստիպեն աառարկաներին ուրիշ ձևով նայել և կփոխեն իրենց զգացմունքները դրանց նկատմամբ: Սալվադոր Դալին ճանաչված էր իր նկարներում տարօրինակ և տպավորիչ պատկերների համար:
