\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You may have noticed your teacher refer to the term Art ‘Movements’ <\/strong>in lessons, but what does the term actually mean<\/em><\/strong>?

Art Movements are the collective titles that are given to work which share a similar style, technical approach or time frame.<\/strong>

When looking at Art and Design over time, we can begin to notice both similarities<\/strong> and differences<\/strong> and learn more about the rich, fascinating history behind each movement from the art pioneers of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
