Art periods

Art periods are the different styles of artwork created throughout history. Art periods are usually divided into categories based on the time period in which the art was created. For example, art from the Renaissance period (1400s-1600s) is known for its realistic figures, bright colors, and religious scenes. Art from the Impressionist period (1800s-1900s) is known for its soft colors and quick brushstrokes. Understanding these different art periods helps us better understand the history and culture of those places and times.
