Abstract art uses a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. The arts of cultures other than the European had become accessible and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist. Abstract art, non-figurative art, non-objective art, and nonrepresentational art are loosely related terms. They are similar, but perhaps not of identical meaning.Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be slight, partial, or complete. "The fruits of war" oils and acrylics on canvas. I choose this painting because once again i am a huge fan of abstract art. This piece has a deep meaning and a lot of emotion. my favorite part of this piece is the man laying in the other mans arms.

In this work of art, we are able to see two females standing still and facing towards the sunset as two older men are on opposite sides of them facing towards us. It seems as though this image depicts individuals who have just finished their workday based on the way in which they are dressed. It is evident that he puts forth some of the same techniques used in Iceberg Blues (Fig. 1) such as the images containing city people and the sunset landscape. Also, the individuals in this painting are not communicating with each other or making any eye contact perhaps because they also have different beliefs and cannot relate to one another.
This interesting artwork is an extreme abstract artwork. The second floor consists fancy ceramics and sculptures from ancient time of the Native Americans, Africa, and France. The second floor is always dim lighted, but each artwork is well placed in a transparent box and a light focused on the artwork.

Colorful ceramics, detail paintings, meaningful sculptures, interesting architectural wires, and fascinating photos.

Art has been around for centuries, expressed in various ways through different mediums; painting, drawing, photography, music, and so many more. Each having smaller categories within them. One can create a portrait with different types of paint, chalk, pens and pencils, the lens of a camera. A musician can convey a feeling within lyrics, or notes of a song. Separate forms of art, yet if you look closely enough, you can see similarities as well.

Jasper Johns effectives countered his predecessors of the Abstract Expressionism with a realism and depth to his work. The art movement known as Abstract Expressionism contained paintings that had no recognizable content in them at all (Art Beyond Sight, n.d.). This style left much to the imagination and often viewers of the piece were left without an understanding what the artist
Through which can be observed from the multiple pieces of Duchamp’s work that represent a new form of art established by Duchamp that requires a complex thought process in order to understand. This idea of conceptual art, or artwork that requires understanding rather than just observation, can be seen through a number of Duchamp’s pieces. Apart from it being present in Fountain conceptual art can also be seen in Nude Descending A Staircase where various shapes are combined to create a bigger picture that cannot be described through the title of the piece. Although there are various shapes the structure of a staircase is not easily seen at first glance and the nude figure also requires more analyzation of the work. Art cannot only be defined through the looks of a piece but also through the artist 's’ ideas.

Art movements are very powerful when used correctly. Art movements are created in different medium in art. Elizabeth Sisco has done a graphic design of Chicano movement.
While reading “The Trouble with (the Term) Art,” written by Carolyn Dean in the summer of 2006, we are taken through an array of different scenarios that lead us to questions what art really is. Dean explores the idea that the word “art” is used far too often and too habitually, and that as we study the non-Western cultures we need to use much more discretion regarding what we call the different pieces of their culture. Throughout the essay, Dean supports her thesis that we too often categorize non-Western pieces as art by using different examples of how certain non-art pieces were deemed as art throughout the course of their history. Dean does this by using four key examples of how these ancient pieces are inappropriately called art to successfully support her thesis and avoid biases.
An initial reaction to this artwork is a feeling of mourn with an explosion of emotions. At first, the artwork serves as a symbol of sorrow, despair, and melancholy. The title of the work adds a dry, bland sense to the meaning behind the drawing. Through observing the drawing more strenuously, the work becomes more of a symbol of war and a cry for help. The despair and troublesome times that the working class went through during war is characterized in this artwork.
