1. ANCIENT GREEK

a.) GEOMETRIC
-Geometric art is a phase of Greek art, characterized largely by
geometric motifs in vase painting, that flourished towards the end of
the Greek Dark Ages, c. 900–700 BC. 

b.) ARCHAIC
-The “Archaic Period” is a convenient term to describe a period in
which the Greeks made significant innovations in sculpture, painting,
and architecture.
c.) CLASSICAL
-The Classical period of Ancient Greece produced some of the most
exquisite sculptures the world has ever seen. The art of the Classical
Greek style is characterized by a joyous freedom of movement,
freedom of expression, and it celebrates mankind as an independent
entity.

d.) HELLENISTIC
-Hellenistic art is the art of the Hellenistic period generally taken to
begin with the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and end with
the conquest of the Greek world by the Romans, a process well
underway by 146 BCE, when the Greek mainland was taken, and
essentially ending in 30 BCE with the conquest of Ptolemaic Egypt
following the Battle of Actium.
2.) ANCIENT ROME
-The art of Ancient Rome, its Republic and later Empire includes
architecture, painting, sculpture and mosaic work. Luxury objects in metal-work,
gem engraving, ivory carvings, and glass are sometimes considered to be minor
forms of Roman art, although they were not considered as such at the time.

3.) MIDDLE AGES

-The medieval art of the Western world covers a vast scope of time and
place, over 1000 years of art in Europe, and at times the Middle East and North
Africa. It includes major art movements and periods, national and regional art,
genres, revivals, the artists’ crafts, and the artists themselves.
4.) RENAISSANCE ART
-Renaissance art, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and literature
produced during the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries in Europe under the combined
influences of an increased awareness of nature, a revival of classical learning,
and a more individualistic view of man.

5.) MANNERISM
-Mannerism, also known as Late Renaissance, is a style in European art that
emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520,
spreading by about 1530 and lasting until about the end of the 16 th century in
Italy, when the Baroque style largely replaced it. Northern Mannerism continued
into the early 17th century.
6.) BAROQUE AND THE ROCOCO
-Baroque and late Baroque, Rococo, are loosely defined terms, generally
applied by common consent to European art of the period from the early 17th
century to the mid-18th century.

7.) NEOCLASSICISM
- Neoclassical art, also called Neoclassicism and Classicism, a widespread
and influential movement in painting and the other visual arts that began in the
1760s, reached its height in the 1780s and ’90s, and lasted until the 1840s and
’50s.
8.) ROMANTICISM
-Romanticism (also known as the Romantic era) was an artistic, literary,
musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe towards the end of
the 18th century, and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period
from 1800 to 1850.

9.) REALISM
- In its specific sense realism refers to a mid nineteenth century artistic
movement characterized by subjects painted from everyday life in a naturalistic
manner; however the term is also generally used to describe artworks painted in
a realistic almost photographic way.
10.) IMPRESSIONISM
-Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively
small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate
depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the
passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial
element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
Impressionism originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent
exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s.

11.) ART NOUVEAU

-Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture, and applied art,
especially the decorative arts, known in different languages by different names:
Jugendstil in German, Stile Liberty in Italian, Modernisme català in Catalan, etc.
In English it is also known as the Modern Style.
12.) FAUVISM
-Fauvism is the name applied to the work produced by a group of artists
(which included Henri Matisse and André Derain) from around 1905 to 1910,
which is characterised by strong colours and fierce brushwork.

13.) CUBISM
-Cubism was a revolutionary new approach to representing reality invented
in around 1907–08 by artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. They brought
different views of subjects (usually objects or figures) together in the same
picture, resulting in paintings that appear fragmented and abstracted.
14.) FUTURISM
-Futurism was an Italian art movement of the early twentieth century that
aimed to capture in art the dynamism and energy of the modern world. Umberto
Boccioni. Unique Forms of Continuity in Space 1913, cast 1972.
