Realistic
•Has a subject
•Represents real life (sometimes photographic)
Abstract
Although it is obvious what the
subject is, it is distorted from
reality.
Non - Objective
• Visual Art that does not represent a subject. It is not a picture of a thing.
• It is rather, colors and forms that compose and image.
• It is not meant to suggest or resemble natural forms.
• The subject may be the process, or the color itself.
• Often these art works are based on music or emotion.
