Exploring Style
Visit the “Style” section of this Web site to read about art styles from Greek and Roman to Pop and Op. Pick two art styles that interest you and, for each one, list the essential characteristics. Using a work of art already in your portfolio, try re-doing the piece in one or both of the styles you have researched on this site.
