We will explore famous Modernist artists from the 20th Century. Modernism is an ever-evolving style of art. Modernism tends towards the cutting edge and abstract art. Modern art changes and evolves. We will study the concept of Modern art and study a selection of Modern artists. We will view works of art by these artists and discuss their art and how they changed the artistic landscape. We will learn about art basics including color, lines, subject matter, perspective, and techniques. We will look at art by the masters and discuss what they mean to us.
