                         Form Vs Content
When this image is first viewed it is viewed as a black box, but after reading more about Kasimir Malevich and the "Black Square" I discovered that there is a lot of context and meaning behind the square. Despite the form of just a black square on a white canvas Malevich's intentions were to change the way of art which he had called a form of supremacist. In this particular piece the square is viewed as a timeless wonder.



                         Representational
Albert Bierstadt painting "Niagara" is a great form of representational of how Niagara Falls looks and how it may of looked before man started construction of skyscrapers and so on. This image is a form of realism because anyone can notice the waterfall, trees, rocks and etc, these are common things in everyday lives that the human eye is accustomed to.




                           Abstract Art
In Sesshu Toyo's paintings there are slight abstractions. How sharply the edges of rocks are darkened, how the river has some straight lines in it to represent water. To the human eye you can tell what everything is but you have to really look in detail to piece everything together, for example I did not notice that the river started at the bottom of the page until I saw the lines that represented the flowing of water.









               Non-Objective Art
Beatriz Milhazes in Mulatinho is a form of non-objective art because there is not one specific piece in her paintings that she is focusing on. There are many objects but just in different sizes,shapes and locations. All these different "objects" are not natural in any way.










Icon-Marilyn Monroe became an American Icon for many reasons, either it is the reason she came to fame so quickly or that she spoke what was on her mind what she did was change the way women were seen. Marilyn revolutionized how woman dressed and acted allowing woman more freedom.

Iconoclasm-16th century during the Reformation. Relief statues in St Stevenskerk in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, were attacked and defaced in the Beeldenstorm.This is an example of iconoclasm because how the religous sculptures were destroyed for a change.
