Text Box: In addition to the recognizable elements and the ways these seem to have been arranged, a work of art has identifiable qualities or characteristics that tend to group and label as style: Classicism - the style of ancient Greece and Rome characterized by simplicity, formality and balance Romanticism - a movement in art characterized by dramatic and emotional statements through use of historic, exotic or literary subject matter. A spirit of revolution is often evident in the works created. Realism - subjects were painted from everyday life in a naturalistic matter. Objects, scenes, animals, and human figures were depicted as they actually appear in nature. Impressionism - was concerned with the surface play of light on nature and hidden effects of color within shadow areas. The artists the brilliancy of color when dots of strokes of color were placed next to each other on the canvas so that the eye blends the color instead of the colors being mixed on the palette. Fauvism - a 20th century movement that rejected the use of natural colors in painting reality. Their "wild" use of color to convey emotion gave them the name of Fauves or "Wild Beasts" Expressionism - an art in which the intensity of the artist's inner emotions and ideas overrides the tradition of portraying actual appearances resulting in distortions of line, shape, and color
