All good. I think the principles could be more clearly articulated--you know, providing a few words and then following up with an explanation.

And don't forget my comments about bibliography. Use only reliable sources--be extra careful when online--and remember that a source like Heilbrunn Timeline or Grove art is a single source regardless how many articles you use.

Edwards, Steve, and Steve Edwards. Art of the Avant-Gardes: study handbook. Milton Keynes: Open University, 2009. 135-55.

Chapter 5 of this book, written by Jason Gaiger,  disused cubism and its evolution through out its popularity. This chapter was very helpful in my work, allowing me to understand the full extent of the cubist movement and how changed and developed as well as highlighting several different artist and their techniques.  As a prominent jump forward in the art world cubism was very important in the way it changed thinking that allowed us to reach this point in the history of art.

Denvir, Bernard. Fauvism and expressionism. Woodbury, NY: Barron's, 1978.

This article written by Wassily Kandinsky in 1911, is a great insight on how a great and prominent abstract artist saw the world. In his article “the Effects of Color” Kandinsky discusses how color can effect a viewer in a extremely subjective and emotional almost tactile way. This article is extremely interesting to understand the thinking behind some of the most complex purely abstract work of the time.

One of the key shifts of the art world as it became more modern was the creation of abstraction.  Letting go the ideas of of realism as well as other formal elements that were found through out art history up to that point. The departure from the structured rules and styles of art at that time was revolutionary, daring and outrageous. The pure subjectivity of the work was unlike anything the art world had ever seen. As abstraction began to take hold it went through many changes in style and form.

Looking very good. Another small caution on bibliography. Heilbrunn is one source, even if you are using various articles.

Here's the boilerplate explanation I am giving darn near every student.

You need eight (8) items on your bibliography and some of them must be books or articles in Decker Library.

If you have used one website, whether it is MoMA or the Met or Grove Art for something, then don’t use it again. You can point out, for instance, that different pages and/or articles on that site are useful, but each site is a single source.

I recommend half an hour in Decker. Librarians are there to help you. Look for a general book on Modernism, for instance. If there are movements you think of as particularly modern, you could find books on those. If you are a person who likes reading criticism, there are many anthologies of criticism on modern art.

Myers, Nicole. “Symbolism.” In Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000–. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/symb/hd_symb.htm (August 2007)

This article was helpful in my research of symbolism, as it gave me a detailed view of the moment as well as some of the contributing artists. This article, from the Metropolitan museum of art’s website was informative and to the point, giving me a firm foundation on which to discus my view of what modernism is to me.

This article, by the Metropolitan Museum of art was helpful and enlightening. By reading this piece It enhanced and supplemented my knowledge of Paul Gauguin and his work. As a very well known artist his work was pivotal to the creation of the symbolist movement.

Straying away from depicting scenes of life and realism modern artists began using their work to depict emotion through line color and composition. These works relied on symbolism to create a narrative, taking and idea or feeling and creating a work around it. This new way of working allowed artists to create their own subject matter in a completely subjective and personal narrative. This shift in thinking about art propelled artists into the modern era, allowing them to think in a more abstract way.

Coming along!

With principle #2, consider if maybe you have wrapped up more than one principle in "a new way of thinking and seeing the world." You mention, for instance, both subject matter and color/brushstroke. One might are that those are quite different issues.

Also, caution on research online. You have two sites which I regard as unacceptable for college-level research. One is Scholastic.com and one is theartstory.org. Neither has credentialed authors or some other reputable authority behind it. So please spend some time in Decker Library finding books and articles. Get to know the librarians, too.

Modernist artist created a new way of thinking and seeing the world around them that kept up with the fast pace of the changing landscapes of the bustling world around them. Fast paced scenes of daily life and the ever changing tides of people kept artist working quickly to capture the moment.  The use of quick brushstrokes and vivid colors of the impressionist movement kept pace with the changing light and weather they depicted in their work. Faster, newer ways of living forced the arts to change pace in order to keep up.

Don't forget the artist's birth and death dates as well.
And for this principle, you offer a kind of negative, what modernism in general rejects. What you would do better with is a positive statement of what modern quality works like these embody.

Modernism is the rejection of the rigid stylistic rules of classical art and academia.

Modernists strayed from the teachings and style of classical renaissance art and began to forge their own path.  Challenging the very definition of art, modernists began to work in different seemingly outrageous ways that propelled the art world into the the 19th and 20th century. Instead of depicting classical religious, or mythological themes Painters began to depict what they saw around them. They painted  everyday scenes of middle class workers and their daily lives.
