From cave paintings you will realize that art is constantly evolving. The Renaissance period saw a real emphasis on realism and a shift from tempera paints to oil paints. Classicism produced art that was used intentionally to instill feelings of patriotism in the people of each nation. Impressionism encouraged painting outdoors while Cubism was all about fragmentation and multiple perspectives. Futurists reject social organizations. Surrealism is fundamentally psychoanalytical while Abstract art steps away from Europe. Pop Art is about everything. Art is a fundamental part of what it means to be human.

The many artists who flocked to art colonies around 1900 brought a sense of shared purpose, adapting the style of divided color and light inherited from their French precursors to new themes celebrating the welcoming and comforting local landscapes. The movement offered a simpler more stable world after the Civil War and a return to the values of the nation's founding fathers. CE-ART 2363, 4 Mon., June 10-July 1, 12:00 noon-1:30 pm, $85.
