Styles of Art Realistic Abstract Non Objective
Bellwork!: Look at the pictures below. Define what you think Realistic, Abstract and Non- Objective mean in your own words. Use the pictures as a clue. Realistic Abstract Non-objective
Realistic Has a subject Represents real life (sometimes photographic)
Abstract Although it is obvious what the subject is, it is distorted from reality.
Non - Objective Visual Art that does represent a subject. It is not a picture of a thing. It is rather, colors and forms that compose and image. It is not meant to suggest or resemble natural forms. The subject may be the process, or the color itself. Often these art works are based on music or emotion.
