Composition is the final product of the artist's decisions when making their art piece. It describes where parts of the piece are in comparison to each other. A composition can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.

"Pop Art was a visual art movement that emerged in the 1950s in Britain and the United States. The origin of the term Pop Art is unknown but is often credited to British art critic Lawrence Alloway in an essay titled "The Arts and the Mass Media", although he uses the words "popular mass culture" instead of "pop art". Alloway was one of the leading critics to defend Pop Art as a legitimate art form."

The Impressionists like to paint subjects that included light! Impressionism is the study of light on a subject. Monet is the best example of an impressionist that was concerned about light. En plein air which means "in the open air" or outdoors was a new way of painting and let the Impressionists play with light. Monet's pond lilies series is an great example of this. Degas was particularly fond of painting prostitutes and sometimes horses at the race track. Degas never painted En plein except to do sketches and then finish in his studio. Manet was famous for painting controversial figures, with his most famous being Olympia. of all of the Impressionists he often was the most controversial and painted many images of people. Mary Cassatt (An American) was famous for painting domestic pictures of women and children. Renoir also painted children and people as subjects. Although the Impressionist were concerned with everyday images of France, especially street scenes, they did not represent the dark side of France very well; the poor. The opinion of the day was "who want to put an ugly picture on the wall?" So by the time Van Gogh was painting (who really was partially Impressionist and most Expressionist) and he painted the "Potato Eater", this subject was considered vulgar. The Impressionists painted everything that had to do with light and movement.

Frescoes are murals painted into wet plaster by the Romans. The technique of painting on wet plaster creates vibrant colors, and lasts a long time. Romans aren't the only people who used fresco, but they are the first and most famous.

There exist different definitions. Classical Greek art can be defined as having been made between 480 and c. 350 BC.

Most medieval art was commisioned by the Church (who had the money for such things) and therefore depictions were things like Jesus or other people from the Bible, or any desired religious theme. Artists had a quite low position in society and were dependant upon such commissions. Pictures and sculptures were stylized and idealized as best the artist could to reflect the holy nature of the subject matter.

During the Renaissance, artists were also commissioned by the church, but also increasingly by wealthy citizens, many of whom wanted non-religious art like portraits of themselves or loved ones, or illustrations of a favorite secular story. There was a great interest in science and nature at the time and a retreating of the idea that the physical, secular world was automatically sinful and evil. As a result of this change in thinking, artists like Leonardo and Michelangelo (to name the most well-known) studied natural processes and forms; including the human body, and much more lifelike depictions were created now that a new respect was felt for these forms.

The Impressionists are concerned with exploring subtle changes in light and color in nature.

conceptual art was influence by the ending of the modernism

The Chicano art movement is something that began in the 1960s. The Chicano art movement worked to resist and challenge dominant social norms in society.

The type of medium that is most commonly used in the art form known as pop art is signage used in advertisements. Advertising agencies try to use colors and slogans that will catch a consumer's eye and make them want to check out the product being advertised.

Light pastels, ivory white, and gold had been the predominant colours, and Rococo decorators often used mirrors to decorate the feel of open space.

If you mean is doodling at the back of class art, then yes, it probably is. Depending on what you are doodling, I reckon your "art" would be abstract art. By the way, if you are doodling in class, try to hide the doodle on top of the book you are "working" in. Happy doodling.

While religious and philosophical characters and icons were often the subject matter, Renaissance art strove to explore and conquer technical aspects of composition using foreshortening, perspective, and the golden mean. The accurate observation and rendering of the human figure was a focus as well.
