The video above is a great and simple overview of the history abstract art. After viewing the video linked above... Look at the following images and try to determine whether they should be classified as ABSTRACT or REPRESENTATIONAL.
- An abstract image has not determinable subject or specific imagery in the art; this type of art focuses on the use of the "elements and principles"
- A representational image is usually a recognizable picture OF something, like a banana, tree or human figure. All realistic art falls under this category.
