AP Art History The ISMS Assignment Mrs. Cook The end of the 19th and 20th Century becomes overwhelmed in isms. It is often difficult to remember the definition and examples of each ism. This assignment is designed to help to remember the isms and the artists associated with them. This is an individual project. You will pick 20 ISMS for this project. On a flash card (physical or on the computer such as Study Blue), write the definition, date, and influence of the historical time period on the movement, if applicable, of the ism on one side. You will also need to mention at least two artists within the movement. With your definition, you need a thumbnail image with complete identification (artwork name, artist, medium, and date) as an example of the art style. On the other side write the name of the ism. You definitions must be in your own words. Do not copy and paste a definition form the Internet. You definitions do not have to come from our book, but they should be thorough. You must reword it in your own words. The Isms must be from the 20th century, or the late 19th century. They do not need to end in letters “ism.” You isms should primarily come from Chapters 29, 30, and 31. Below is a list of suggested isms. You may also select from beyond this list.

They emphasized naturalistic detail, luminosity, and color. They want art to return to the manner before the time of Raphael. They frequently represented themes from the Middle Ages and literary subject matter.
