Different Types of Painting - Types of Art

Here list of different types of paintings - art : 

Abstract - the art consists of color and shape to represent emotion. Abstract art refers to a style of painting that does not use figurative reality as a reference. The painting wasn't to what is would appear to be in real life. It's non representational, it does not look like anything, not represent anything seen. It may cause the viewer to think of ideas but it does not copy the seen world or contain images. 

Different types of Modern Abstract art : 

• Abstract Expressionism
• Color Field
• Lyrical Abstraction
• Cubism

Cubism - The painting uses many geometric shapes and conceptual, instead of perceptual, reality.

A simplification of figures and objects into geometrical components and planes that may or may not add up to the whole figure or object known in the natural world.

Expressionism - The artist is more concerned on how the feel about the object rather than what is looks like.

Impressionism - The painting looks as if the artist took one quick glance at the subject. it is presented in bold color and not much detail. It is one of the earliest modern painting styles and characterized by thin brushstrokes and an emphasis on the depiction of light.

Surrealism - Generally based on dreams. Very strange and mysterious, the aim of the picture is to show an item in a different way. Surrealism is a modern painting style that juxtaposes various images together to give a startling effect. The images in these paintings are often illogical and have a dream-like quality about them. 

Conceptual - Conceptual art is a modern art style where the artist believes that concept is more important than artwork itself.

Futurism - Futurism is a painting style that concerns itself with subjects like the technology, speed, violence, and the future of the world.

Fauvism - Fauvism is an art movement that occurred sometime after impressionism. While impressionism retains a somewhat realistic representation of the subjects, Fauvist paintings focus on strong color. Artists employing this style have wild brush strokes and highly simplified subjects.

Minimalism - An art movement that is characterized by simplicity. Minimalist paintings strip down the subject to its very essence. Instead of energy-filled self-expression as is the hallmark of abstract expressionism, minimalist art, on the other hand, paints only what the artist believes is necessary.

Pop art - It stands for popular art. contains interesting everyday objects in bright colors. it's inspired by comic strips, ads and popular entertainment. Pop Art revolved around mundane subjects like comic books, advertising, celebrities, and other objects found in the everyday.

Photorealism - From the name itself, a photorealist painting is one that looks as realistic as a photograph. This is done by taking a picture of the subject and then painting it. Photorealism is an art movement influenced by pop art, and it ran counter as a reaction to abstract expressionism.

Hyperrealism - Hyperrealism is an advancement of the photorealism. Artists use high-resolution cameras to take photographs and paint them on canvas. Compared to photorealism, however, hyperrealist paintings have exaggerated shadows and inanimate objects display life likeness, even though they do not normally possess these qualities.

Pointillism - Many dots of paint make up a pointillism picture. by far away, they blend together.

Postimpressionism - Still life and landscapes. used alot of colour and shadows.

Primitivism - Art which looks like it's been painted by a child. Very plain, simple and 2-d.

Realism - It shows exactly how something looks in real life. very popular in France.

Representational - Its like something, represents something even if it is not realistic.
