 1. Realism
In painting, this is the attempt to portray
the subject as it is. Even when the artist a
subject from nature, he selects, changes,
and arranges details to express the idea he
wants to make clear.
Realists try to be as objective as possible.
Here, the artist's main function is to
describe as accurately and honestly as
possible what is observed through the
senses.
However, in the process of selecting and
presenting his material, he cannot help
being influenced by what he feels or thinks.
We can say that an artwork is realistic when
the presentation and organization of details
in the work seem natural.
Realism is common way of presenting the
art subject. Example of this are Amorsolo's
painting.

 2. Abstraction
This is used when the artist
becomes so interested in one
phase of a scene or a situation
that he does not show the subject
at all as an objective rality, but
only his idea, or his feeling about
it.
Abstract means "to move away or
separate". Abstract art moves
away from showing things as they
really are. The painter or artist
paints the picture not as it really
looked. The picture is not just
likelife. It is not "realistic".
 Abstraction subjects can also be
presented in many ways like:

DISTORTION

This is clearly manifested when the

subject is in misshapen condition,
or the regular shape is twisted out.
 Abstraction subjects can also be
presented in many ways like:

ELONGATION

It refers to that which is being

lengthened, protraction or an
extension.
 Abstraction subjects can also be
presented in many ways like:
MANGLING

This may not be cmmonly used way

of presenting an abstract subject,
but there are few artists who show
subjects or objects which are cut,
lacerated, mutilated, or hacked with
repeated blows.
 Abstraction subjects can also be
presented in many ways like:

CUBISM

It stresses abstract form

through the use of cone,
cylinder, or sphere at the
expense of other pictorial
elements.
3. Symbolism
A symbol is general, is a visible sign of something
invisible such as an idea or a quality.
It can be simply and emblem or a sign like:

 4. Fauvism
This was the first important art movement of the 1900's.
The fauves flourished as a group only from about 1903
to 1907 but their style greatly influenced many later
artists.
The fauves did not attempt to express ethical,
philosophical, or psychological themes. Most of these
artists tried to paint pictures of comfort, joy, and
pleasure.
 4. Fauvism
They used extremely bright colors.
To a fauve, for example, a tree trunk need not to be
brown. It could be bright, purple, or any other color.
 5. Dadaism
The dadaists reacted to what they believed were
outworn traditions in art, and the evils they saw in
society.
They tried to shocl and provoke the public with
outrageous pieces of writing, poetry recitals, and art
exhibitions.
Much dadaic art was playful and highly experimental.
5. Dadaism
The name "dada" a French word meaning "hobby
horse", was deliberately chosen because it was
nonsensical. Perhaps the best known dadaist was
the French artist Marcel Duchamp.
 6. Futurism
It developed in Italy about the same time cubism appeared in
France.
Futurist painters wanted their works to capture the speed and
force of modern industrial society.
Their paintings glorified the mechanical energy of modern
life.
Subjects included automobiles, motorcycles, and railroad trails
- subjects that express the explosive vitality of a modern city.
 7. Surrealism
This movement in art and literature was founded in Paris in 1924
by the French poet Andre Breton.
Like dadaism, from which it arouse, surrealism uses art as weapon
against evil and restrictions that surrealist see in the society.
Unlike dadaism, it tries to reveal a new and higher meaning super
realism. The movement was influenced by the Freudian
psychology whihc emphasizes the activities of the subconscoius
state of mind.
 7. Surrealism
Subject of this kind attempt to show what is inside man's
mind as well as the appearance of his outside world. The
surrealist claim to create forms and images not primarily by
reason, but by unthinking impulse and blind feeling or even
by accident.
 8. Expressionism
This method was introduced in Germany during the first
decade of the twentieth century. Its influence was felt by the
European artists from 1910 up to the present.
The emotional expressions in expressionistic paintings could
be described as involving pathos, morbidity, violence or
chaos, and tragedy. It sometimes portrays defeat.
