The Beliefs and Concept of Modern Art

Art is a creative skill, which is demonstrated through imaginative designs, sounds, or ideas. Artistic skills have been integral to our Histories. Events, life styles, and the other prevalent things, were all depicted through the various art forms of those times. Art has been evolving with ideas, thoughts, events, times, and technological developments, and is the father of today's Graphical Illusions.

The History of Art started 2 million years ago, to the Stone Age. The first Stone Tools which used to create impressions can be said to be the initial ideas of Art. Ancient Art is actually a representation of information about the life styles and the representation of facts of those times, who framed a strong ground for Art. Since then, Art regularly being change.

History of Modern Art started with Impressionism as its main frame and continued its revolution. New art styles and movements disappeared at an increasingly fast pace, reflecting the growing rate of changes in our society.

The Impressionist painters preferred to paint outdoors and studied the effect of light on the objects, creating wonderful arts such as, landscapes and scenes from daily life. This trend continued until 1905.  The second movement of Modern revolution brought Expressionism, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco Movements. They were new Arts concepts with highly decorative style, dedicated to natural art forms. Art Deco was primarily a design style popular in 1920-1930's, which is a follow up of Art Nouveau. These art forms showed their domination in the mass production of Fashion, Furniture, Jewelry, Textiles, Architecture, Commercial Print Making, and Interior Decorations.

Modern Art Movement III was another revolutionary movement of Modern Art, which was majorly restricted to paintings and sculptures. Nevertheless, it had vital influence on the development of Modern Art. Cubism came, where images were converted into cubes, or other geographical forms, followed by Surrealism, emphasizing the unconscious & the importance of dreams, and finally came the Abstract Art, which was creating art with several abstracts joining.

Pop Art Movement and Optical Art Movement (OP Art) came into picture after debating with Abstract Artists, as these artists considered Abstract Arts as too sophisticated and elite for the general masses to understand. The Pop Art and the Optical Art Artists brought art back into the daily lives of people through Simple Sketches, Comics, and Picture Arts, as seen naturally in daily life. Optical Art was again a transformation of art into reduced geographical forms, sometimes in Black & White contrast and sometimes in brilliant, contrast colors.

New Modern Art period is the era where forms change to different levels, beyond Manual Paintings to Photography eventually. The art revolution continues in the current Pro-modern Art/ Contemporary Art period with the art forms changing to Visual Graphics and 3D animations.
