While art history is an ever-changing academic field that many people go to school for years to master, there is no reason why interested individuals can’t appreciate and learn about art in their spare time. If you love art, you can start exploring art history right from your apartment home at The Quarters.
In order to classify artworks and make studying humanity’s nearly 6,000-year-old history of art easier, historians have broken down art history into chronological and stylistic categories. Some of the most well-known of these periods and styles include:
• Prehistoric art
• Ancient/Mesopotamian art
• Medieval art
• The Renaissance
• The Baroque Period
• Neoclassicism
• Romanticism
• Realism
• Impressionism
• Modern art
If these many different periods and styles seem like too much to take in at once, you can begin your exploration of art history by choosing a specific artist or piece of art that is a personal favorite. By researching that artists’ life or learning about the movement that inspired the work you so love, you can fully appreciate why the artist created what he or she did, and the deepest meanings behind each masterpiece.
