A style is when a comparison can be made to align a work of art to works of art that share similar characteristics.Individual artistic style can be determined by making comparisons in the artists work to other works the artist has executed

General style categories area not associated with as much with history or culture, but are categorized by general appearance of the work itself. The reference to general style/appearance is an adjective, and is usually not capitalized.By contrast, the reference to a cultural historical artistic movement is a proper noun and should always be written with a capital letter

Expressionist works demonstrate a mood or feeling. The goal is more than trying to denote simply what is seen empirically in front of the viewer. Artist may exaggerate details and leave other details out of the picture. This may be done with extreme color usage, strong lines, or usual shapes.Images are generally roughed out abstractedto a degree.

A realistic artist creates a mood by carefully selecting familiar objects in a way that make them seem somewhat extraordinary.They then try to depictthe subjects with great detail as the way they actually appear in reality, just more isolated images for emphasis

abstract: means reduced to essential; a summaryThere are no artistic movement that are named “abstract.”

All art involves some abstraction, even realistic works.Notice the simple geometricdivision of space and on the painting By Edward Hopper, a good example of anabstraction (simplification)This process is sometimes referred to as modernism

Most of the time we think of abstract as something that is recognizable,but not an accurate representation of realityFlattenedThick outlinesBright color(not always)Elements exaggeratedGeneralized/simpified

Where abstract means you can recognize things within the design that are not necessarily realistic…. In non-objective work there is nothing recognized. It is design for the sake of design.
