Arts Lesson 1

The document discusses several major art movements between 1870-1970 including Realism, Impressionism, Postimpressionism, and Fauvism. Realism focused on depicting everyday life and scenes accurately. Impressionism developed in Paris in the 1860s-70s and emphasized using small brushstrokes and intense colors to capture light and fleeting visual impressions. Postimpressionism extended Impressionism by adding more structure and expression to paintings. Fauvism succeeded Postimpressionism in the early 1900s and was inspired by Van Gogh's expressive style.
