The New ‘Isms

Think about the values we embrace as a society and how those could be represented. Create your own “ism” that reflects the time in which you live, and describe how artwork that reflects that “ism”might look (in other words, how would you use formal qualities to express ideas that are prevalent in our society?). See “The New ‘Isms'” (pp. 496-504) for examples of “isms” that artists created during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
