What is an Art Movement?

Over the next few weeks, we'll begin exploring and learning about Art Movements, learn about Artists who were part of each movement and create Art based on each movement.

An Art Movement is a tendency or style in Art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of Artists during a restricted period of time, or, at least, with the heyday of the movement defined within usually a number of years.

What is your favorite Art Movement?

I have to remind my students that favorite means one. With that said, its hard for me to choose one Art Movement that is my favorite, but since I have to, I would say, my favorite Art Movement is Abstract Expressionism.
