CHOOSE 2 ARTISTIC STYLES TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Pop Art, the art of popular culture, exploded onto the art scene in England in the late 1950's. Enjoy this 10 minute video about Pop Artists of the 20th century, from Andy Warhol to Keith Haring to areas around the globe. You might also explore local, York County artist Jeff Koons, to see a Pop artist of today at work.
American Contemporary artist, Georgia O'Keeffe, is one of my favorite artists. You may remember her work of flowers, especially poppies, and desert bones. Enjoy the video and/or the website.
French Impressionism is an artistic style of paintining characterized by unmixed, small strokes of color to simulate reflected light. The Impressionist's movement took place during the late 1800's. Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir are two famous Impressionists.
Cubism, pioneered by Pablo Picasso, is an artistic style characterized by natural forms being depicted as geometric planes.
The High Renaissance is marked by an explosion of creative genius. The greatest artists ever known, Leonardo da'Vinci and Michelangelo, exemplified this artistic style.
