Art Styles
Part of the joy of painting in the 21st century is the wide range of available forms of expression. The late 19th and 20th centuries saw artists make huge leaps in painting styles. Many of these innovations were influenced by technological advances, such as the invention of the metal paint tube and the evolution of photography, as well as changes in social conventions, politics, and philosophy, along with world events.
Realism, in which the subject of the painting looks much like the real thing rather than being stylized or abstracted, is the style many people think of as "true art." Only when examined close up do what appear to be solid colors reveal themselves as a series of brushstrokes of many colors and values.
Impressionism emerged in the 1880s in Europe, where artists such as Claude Monet sought to capture light, not through the detail of realism, but with gesture and illusion.
Expressionism and Fauvism are similar styles that began to appear in studios and galleries at the turn of the 20th century. Both are characterized by their use of bold, unrealistic colors chosen not to depict life as it is, but rather, as it feels or appears to the artist.

Historically, artists become famous either for their unique style or the character they exude to the world of art . Beginning with the Renaissance Era, art was transformed, it elevated the value of art and produced a respect it from society that was not there in the past. Art masters became known everywhere, their work were studied during and beyond their lifetime. Following the Renaissance, innovations and varying school’s of thought took place and artists and their work distinguished themselves from every era ever since.
Paintings
Adding color to the world with paint is a uniquely human activity – one that we’ve been engaging in since prehistoric times!
It was the Greek philosopher Plato who discovered that you can mix two different paint colors together to produce a third color.
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface. The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. The final work is also called a painting.
