Many styles of art have come about in the 20th century including expressionism, impressionism, cubism,
formalism, surrealism, pop art, and abstract expressionism. Perhaps the most important is cubism,
inspired by African art, it completely through the rules about traditional art out the window. The most
recent and probably the most famous is Pop Art which is cheap and accessible to all.
Sculptures are three dimensional and are created by shaping hard materials such as glass, stone, and
metal. There are many types of sculptures including kinetic (they move), statue, bust, relief, and post
minimalism.
An important type of sculpture is the mobile. Mobiles are kinetic sculptures that hang in balance moved
by wind and air current (which I know is the same as wind but Nicole made me type this because it
supposedly sounds better).
Earth art (or land art) emerged in the 1960s and early 1970s. Earth art is created in nature, using natural
materials such as branches, soil, logs, leaves, rocks, and water. Also the artist use artificial materials such
as concrete, metal, and, asphalt. Sculptures are carved and shaped not placed in the landscape. One of
the best known artists who worked in land art was Robert Smithson who created the Spiral Jetty.
Computers have made art accessible to the masses and have made it cheap to distribute and produce.
There are art programs where you can make textures and apply them to shapes. There are also
programs where you can take basic shapes and warp them into different, more exquisite shapes.

Art
Many styles of art have come about in the 20th century including sculptures, painting, and
computer generated art. Perhaps the most important style of painting is cubism, inspired by African art,
it completely through the rules about traditional art out the window. The most recent and probably the
most famous is Pop Art which is cheap and accessible to all. Some critics think art has gone downhill
with this style. Sculptures are three dimensional and are created by shaping hard materials such as glass,
stone, and metal. A type of sculpture, Earth art (or land art), emerged in the 1960s and early 1970s and
is created in nature, using natural materials such as branches, soil, logs, leaves, rocks, and water. Also
the artist use artificial materials such as concrete, metal, and, asphalt. Computers have helped make art
accessible to the masses and have made it cheap to distribute and produce. There are art programs
where you can make textures and apply them to shapes. There are also programs where you can take
basic shapes and warp them into different, more exquisite shapes. These styles (and many others) have
changed the art world forever.
