– Ability which artist fulfill his work of art and manipulates ideas.
1. Realism - introduced by a French man named Gustave Courbet in

19th century. Adapted to describe things representing figures and
exactly how they look like in real life.
Example: sunset, sunrise, and nature
sunset sunrise
nature
2. Surrealism - invented from the word super naturalism. It is used
to emphasize the unconscious creative activity of the mind.
Example:
dream
deja’vu
3. Cubism - initiated by Cezanne, the father of cubism. It
shows the flatness of the picture and rejects traditional
perspectives.
Example: Demoiselles d’ Avignon in 1907 by Pablo Picasso

4. Expressionism - tries to express subjective feelings and emotions of
the artists. It is how the artist feels about the subject.
Example: The Scream by Edvard Munch in 1892

5. Impressionism - the artist depicts what stimulates the eye. What
we see is important in an impressionist. When they create an art
they are more concerned with the effects of lights that would
get the attention of the audience.
Example: Soleil Levant (Impression, sunrise) by Claude

Monet in 1872
6. Symbolism - the visible sign of something invisible such as
ideas or quality. Something that you can create in the mind such
as ideas that can be depicted through painting.
Example: La mort du fossoyeur ("The death of the

gravedigger") by Carlos Schwabe
7. Pointillism - a style of painting in which the artists use small
distinct dots of color forming a figure and it has an item of
“luminosity” and create the impression of a wide selection of
other colors and blending.
Example: La Parade de Cirqu by Seurat (1889)

8. Futurism - an art movement that originated in Italy in the early
20th century. Machine and motions is the main subject of this
technique which try to show movement and speed. Rejected the
traditional perspectives and attempted to glorify a new life.
Example: The City Rises by Umberto Boccioni (1910)

9. Minimalism - the form is reduced to outmost
simplicity geometrical shape which emphasizes space.
Example: The reconstruction of German Pavillion in

Barcelona, Spain
10. Fauvism - the painter try to paint picture by using bright
and extreme colors in order to assume positive characters.
Example: The portrait of Madame Matisse (The green line)

by Henry Matisse in 1905
11. Dadaism - a post-World War I cultural movement in visual
art as well as literature (mainly poetry), theatre and graphic
design. It shows a movement that shocks and provokes the
viewers.
Example: Hitler in Hell by George Grosz

12.Constructivism - derived from the word
“construction.” Construction of abstract pictures such
as metal and wire.
Example: Model of the Monument to the Third
International by Tatlin Tower.
