If someone would be so kind as to give me a brief description of the
following art movements. If possible just the major points of each. It
would be very helpful for me. I'm trying to study but I can't seem to get a
firm grasp of the distinctions between each particular movement. This is
just a hope, but if you're willing to help me here, please.

Baroque
Rococo
Neoclassicism
Romanticism
Realism
Impressionism
Symbolism

You can always tell when it's nearing the end of a school
semester -- in this newsgroup anyway.

Pity the student that relies on the neo-conservative pot-holes
covering this information highway.

And you can always tell who missed damn near
every class session. And who is most likely
a business major.

I don't understand why someone would skip
Art History, of all classes -- I mean,
you spend the whole time looking at pictures
for chrissakes. If you can't even sit through
*that*, you've got serious problems, and should
think about transferring to trade school.

I also think that someone who cannot intuitively
tell the difference between Realism and Romanticism
should probably not be in college at all.

...and at NYU, no less!

The holiday season is depressing enough without
having to read this stuff.

I'll tell you what, looking at a Realist painting and a Romantic painting
side by side, sure it's simple to tell that they belong to separate
movements. Characterizing the specific facets of each movement and the ways
that they are different is not so easy. If you think it is that's wonderful
for you. I'm proud to have had this brief correspondence with you through
the magical world of the newsgroups.

Thanks for your time.

This quite nicely defines the difference between blithering left-wind
ditz and "neo-conservatives"....

The so-called "neo-conservative" tells the lame student where he can
find the information he needs and suggests that he take personal
responsibility and do his own work.

Marilyn, the blithering left-wing ditz, well...... she is limited to
whining. Nothing useful. Just whining.

Keep up the good work Marilyn. While you aren't as helpful as Clinton
has been to "neo-conservatism," you're doing your part :-)

Maybe you could do a mini wag-the-dog for us?

It is not meant to be easy, it is meant to be a learning process.

If you think it is that's wonderful

Everone started knowing nothing, it is the interest they show, the effort they
put into it that makes it 'easy', do the same and you will make it 'easy' for
yourself.
