Realism, What was it?, When Was it? ehdo101 https://padlet.com/ehdo101/42ohntwqsf2t/wish/325473327 Realism is literally style in which the author describes people, their actions, their emotions and surroundings as close to reality as possible. Characters are not "sugar-coated" or exaggerated, characters do things as they normally would and are not worse or better than real-life counterparts. The term "realism" refers to a literary and artistic movement of the late 1800's- and early 1900's. Mark twain's Huckleberry & Finn is an example of a realism called regionalism. American regionalism focuses on traditional realism's interest in the accurate representation of the "real" world. ]]> 2019-01-29 16:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ehdo101/42ohntwqsf2t/wish/325473327 2. What did realism emerge from? ehdo101 https://padlet.com/ehdo101/42ohntwqsf2t/wish/325478229 Realism is recognized as an art movement that rejected traditional forms of art, literature, and social organization as "outmoded" in the wake of the Enlightenment and the industrial revolution. Realist painters replaced the idealistic images and literary conceits of traditional art with real life events, giving the margins of society similar weight to grand history paintings and allegories. ]]> 2019-01-29 16:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ehdo101/42ohntwqsf2t/wish/325478229 3.
