Types of art...














Artists used many styles in their paintings and drawings.For me after read a little about styles of art I find more interesting the follows: Cubism, Realism, Postimpressionism,and Surrealism.

Cubism: Is modern art made up mostly of paintings. The paintings are not supposed to look real. The artist uses geometric shapes to show what he is trying to paint. Early cubists used mainly grays, browns, greens, and yellows. After 1914, Cubists started to use brighter colors. Cubism was the beginning of the Abstract and Non-objective art styles.Pablo picasso was one of the most famous painters of this kind of art.

Realism: Is a type of art that shows 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 also.Leonardo da Vinci was a Painter of this styles of paintings.

Postimpressionism: It began in the 19th century. It was mainly still lifes and landscapes. The postimpressionists liked to use lots of colors and shadows.
Vincent Van Gogh painted sad paintings with poor people in them. His paintings were always very dark until he saw some colorful Japanese paintings.Then he started painting happier paintings. Most of his works was in this style.


Surrealism: This kind of 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. They thought that their paintings might stir up feelings in the back of peoples minds. Salvador Dali was one of the painters that used this style.

I think all types of art are beatiful and important, but each one is defferent from others but all have something interesting behind them because refelcet the way that theirs printer are.
