Naturalist or Realistic Art (Realism)
Art that focuses on showing reality.
The artists attempted to make art objective and like the actual object.
Impressionism
Art that focuses on capturing the effect of light.
Artists painted what they perceived rather than what they knew to be there.
Impressionists were fascinated with color, sunshine, contrasts, light, reflection, and shadow.
They used color and light to represent and artist’s impression.
Pointillism
An offshoot of Impressionism Art that uses small dots of different
colors that the eye blends together.
Abstract (in text: Abstract Expressionism)
Artists were intrigued with color and the physical qualities of paint: “What can I do with paint on canvas?”
The art has no recognizable subject, the focus is on color and media, often applied in a kinesthetic way.
Folk Art
Artworks created by people who have not had formal training in art, or who use nontraditional art media in ways that reflect their culture.
