Week 7 - Modernism IV: Reconstruction and the Cold War

Reflect on learning

• Enjoyed learning about how Ideologies intergrade with art (last week Italian Futurism using war imagery)

• Briefly looking at Alexandre Cabenel (studied him briefly in high school)

• Abstract art (depicting things that you visually can’t comprehend)

• how history effects artworks

• I found learning about impressionism (also studied briefly in high school)
