Artists, composers and designers make use of different mediums, from paintings, drawings or pastels, to mixed media, watercolour, digital art or print making. These refer to the art materials or supplies used in creating artwork. Artistic shapes include Portrait, Landscape, Square, Panoramic or Slim.
Many ideals, styles and approaches are shared by artwork, forming common philosophies. These art ‘Movements’ are primarily used as a historical convenience for grouping artists of a certain period or style together so that they may be understood within a specific context. Modern Art Movements include Impressionism, Post Impressionism, Cubism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Dadaism, Surrealism and Pop Art. When buying art, their styles may often be broadly broken down into categories of Fine Art, Decorative Art, Vintage Art or Photography.
