__Task Two-EVALUATE YOUR TOPICS INFLUENCE-Due Friday, February 10__ Paintings were one of the biggest art styles to change and they were being shown in big cities. People began to see contemporary paintings and sculptures in the new architecture that was coming about during this time. Most of these paintings exemplified modern life and symbolism. For example the new architecture such as the Empire State inspired painters and they began to make paintings of buildings. This art became known as realism/modern art. This is how art changed. Georgia O Keeffe influenced modernism art ij Canada and the United States. Her //Evening Star III// was one of her pieces and was praised for color and simplistic lines. Also Anne Savage painted landscapes of Soviet realism. One of her famous pieces//The Plough showed// agricultural with the ties to modernism.

Task ThreeJUDGE THE IMPACT OF THE INDIVIDUAL & ASSOCIATION---Due Feb. 15 Now that you have a basic understanding of your topic, and you know the scope of its influence, explain the forces that produced or created the topic. Additionally, what were the driving forces behind the society's reaction to your topic? Use the criteria described in the the Great Man Continuum to determine your topics long-run influence on society. Place your topic on the continuum and justify the reasons for your placement. Please confine your analysis to two extended power paragraphs with each citing a minimum of three credible sources. The painters of this style of art were the driving force of this art movement and changed the ways of art especially in the United States and Canada. The society caught on to this movement because some paintings showed what is was like in certain parts of the country and were designs that resembled the new architecture of this time period. For example, John Arthur Fraser captured the natural beauty and rugged lifestyle of an idealized North American western experience (ABC Clio). Also in the 19th century often reflected in artwas the theme of slavery, as in the sculpture //Forever Free// by Edmonia Wildfire Lewis (ABC Clio). This is why the society caught on to this movement of art

All and all i dont think this was a huge movement but there are still features of it that we have today. For example the big buildings we still have today and photography is still very popular today. For the painting side, the movement didnt last long and you still see some of the styles of art from this time period but its not as popular as it used to be. For these reasons i would put the overall movement towards social determinism.
