ISM list

This will only help you if it makes sense to you.
Wikipedia definitions won't help if you don't understand them.

The terms you are responsible for this 6 weeks are all ART MOVEMENTS after the 19th Century.

You will be responsible for the artist's name and the MOVEMENT on the final test... Again, titles will be extra credit.

Keep in mind that some artists (arguably) belong to more than one movement, or maybe don't fit with the movement our text book suggests. We will spend some class time (especially during the review) classifying people.

BUT FIRST.
It will greatly help you if you understand what these movements were all about. Define these movements in terms you will understand. Read the definitions, do a google image search and look at examples of the work... How will you identify these movements to YOURSELF?

REMEMBER- you can only use notes taken on the backs of worksheets for this class!!!
