Hi All,
We all love art, how much do we know about it? Well, here's a little information that might help us recognize the style of art we are looking at.

Abstract- Non-objective art. In non-objective art, you do not see specific objects. It is not painted to look like something specific.
Cubism- The artist uses geometric shapes to show what he is trying to paint.
Expressionism- The artists that painted in this style were more concerned with having their paintings express a feeling than in making the painting look exactly like what they were painting.
Fauvism- The subjects in the paintings were shown in a simple way, and the colors and patterns were bright and wild.
Impressionism- The paintings in this style were usually outdoor scenes like landscapes. The pictures were painted to look like they were shimmering.
Pointillism- In Pointillism, the artist uses small dots or strokes of paint to make up the pictures. From far away, these dots blend together to form the picture and give the impression of different colors as they blend together.
Pop Art- Pop art can be any every day item that is drawn in a brash and colorful way.
Postimpressionism- Postimpressionism began in the 19th century. It was mainly still lifes and landscapes. The postimpressionists liked to use lots of colors and shadows.
Primitivism- Primitive Art looks like art that is done by a child. Usually the picture is painted very simply, and the subjects are "flat", or two-dimensional.
Realism- Realism is a type of art that shows things exactly as they appear in life.
Surrealism- Surrealists paintings were generally based on dreams. Their paintings were filled with familiar objects which were painted to look strange or mysterious.
