1. 3 Basic Types of Art

2. Representational Art  The style of art most people regard as “real art”.  The subject looks like it appears in real life.  Began during the Renaissance in Europe.

3. Is it Representational?  Objects are in proportion.  Perspective.  Value to show form.  Realistic color choices.

4. Representational Art Pierre-Auguste Renoir Two Sisters (on the Terrace)

5. Abstract  It is about painting the essence of a subject rather than the detail.  It keeps an echo of what it is that prompted the idea. (Inspiration is from reality)  Abstraction can also happen when the artist chooses to view the subjects in a non-traditional manner.

6. Is it Abstract?  Simplify shapes (More geometric).  Avoid detail.  Objects can be out-of-proportion.  Flatten space by not using perspective.

7. Abstract Art Georges Braque Woman with Guitar

8. Abstract Art Renee Magritte The Treachery of Images

9. Non-Objective  Doesn’t try to look like anything from the “real world”.  The point of the painting is the colors used, the textures in the artwork, the materials used to create it.

10. Is it Non-Objective?  Show something that can’t normally be seen (like a sound or a feeling).  Focus on the elements of art only – line, shape, color, texture, etc.  Can also be a pattern or design.
