And I think you personally have a very graphic and sensuous sensibility.

You have at least 2 principles here. Keep thinking about other qualities that seem to speak of modernism. 

And you seem to like organizing your thoughts through imagery. 

A good place to search for pictures is ARTStor.org. Do an "advanced search." Check a few categories (like Europe, painting, sculpture) and set date parameters (short ones, like 1870-1900, 1900-1930). Then put just a word or two into the search box. Like "figure" or "landscape" or "still life." See what pops up.

Or you can search for individual artists.

I know you have thoughts about this and are almost there, but you need to get it done. Especially before you meet with your team.

I only wanted to include artists that I liked in my padlet project and I didn't want to work on this project that much :/ I think I'm narrow-minded. fwang3 https://padlet.com/fwang3/mam9i6yg5dkp/wish/140365252 2016-11-28 23:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/fwang3/mam9i6yg5dkp/wish/140365252 Review #4 ebcutler https://padlet.com/fwang3/mam9i6yg5dkp/wish/142064494 You crack me up, Fiona! Maybe you are "narrow-minded." Maybe you just know what you like. But you came up with an interesting list of principles. I think, in the end, you see the general trend of modernism toward "art for art's sake" where design and formal beauty are paramount. But here's a way to think about it. Your principles produce art that you love--the flip side is that each principle also results in a style/movement/work you DON'T like. It's sort of the law of unintended consequences. Maybe if you simply recognize this paradox--and therefore recognize the merit of some of those movements--that will help you as you navigate modern art. You notice I said "recognize the merit of some of those movements"--never said you had to find the work personally appealing. ;-) 

A few years ago I had a student in my Ren-1855 section first who then followed me into modernism. He HATED modernism. He had just loved Baroque art in particular and for most of the semester in modernism I could see him sitting there with his arms crossed, looking utterly suspicious of everything I presented. At the end of the semester, though, he conceded that there were ideas he had found compelling and that although he will always be a figurative painter working in a naturalistic style, he had absorbed a few points he thought useful for his own art.

So you never know.
