Different forms of art are discussed including photorealism, realism, impressionism, and abstract art. Photorealism focuses on creating highly realistic representations that look like photographs. Realism depicts objects and subjects as they appear in real life. Impressionism emerged in the 19th century using rough and unfinished techniques that did not clearly depict subjects. Abstract art consciously deviates from realism and focuses on the essence of subjects rather than how they appear in reality.

2. Introductions
Painting and Arts date back to prehistoric times.
Cave Paintings, Rock Carvings, Stone Calligraphy,
eventually evolving into using vegetable
compounds as color pigments. Then gradually
moving on towards the age of Renaissance with
great maestros such as Picasso, Da Vinci,
Montaine dishing out world class oil paintings on
canvas and animal skins.

3. 1.Photorealism
Photorealism basically encompasses everything from Super
Realism. Sharp Focus Realism, Hyper Realism.This style of
art essentially focuses on the illusion of reality which is
painted in such a realistic manner that it looks like a large
representation of a real subject.

4. 2. RealismRealism form of art represents real life reflection of objects
and subjects in the painting. The paintings are exactly as
they are in real. Here everything appears real from a
distance, however there is illusion interwoven within the
painting which comes out when looked t closely.

5. 3. Impressionism
This form of art emerged as the ‘black sheep’ of the art styles as during its
inception, it was ridiculed and harshly criticized by art critics during the
19th Century. It incorporated uneven, rough unfinished nature of art
which didn’t present a clear picture directly as compared to the other
contemporary art forms.

6. 4. Abstract
Abstract art form is a form of art that consciously deviates
from real life impressions. Abstract form of art is vague and
often looks like an accidental play of colors and paint. It
focuses on the essence of the subject rather than the
subject itself.
