Different Forms of Art-by Bob Ransley

IntroductionsPainting and Arts date back to prehistoric times. Cave Paintings, Rock Carvings, Stone Calligraphy,

eventually evolving into using vegetable compounds as color pigments. Then gradually

moving on towards the age of Renaissance with great maestros such as Picasso, Da Vinci,

Montaine dishing out world class oil paintings on canvas and animal skins.

1.PhotorealismPhotorealism basically encompasses everything from Super

Realism. Sharp Focus Realism, Hyper Realism.This style of art essentially focuses on the illusion of reality which is

painted in such a realistic manner that it looks like a large representation of a real subject.

2. RealismRealism form of art represents real life reflection of objects and subjects in the painting. The paintings are exactly as

they are in real. Here everything appears real from a distance, however there is illusion interwoven within the

painting which comes out when looked t closely.

3. ImpressionismThis form of art emerged as the ‘black sheep’ of the art styles as during its

inception, it was ridiculed and harshly criticized by art critics during the 19th Century. It incorporated uneven, rough unfinished nature of art which didn’t present a clear picture directly as compared to the other

contemporary art forms.

4. AbstractAbstract art form is a form of art that consciously deviates from real life impressions. Abstract form of art is vague and

often looks like an accidental play of colors and paint. It focuses on the essence of the subject rather than the

subject itself.
