Introduction

You have been selected to be a curator at the new Lexington's "Kid's Art Gallery".  In this gallery there will be masterpieces from 3 different art movements. Learn the differences between each of the  art movements. You will be asked to write a brief description of each art movement. Choose two other curators to work with you to complete the task.

1. Click on each art movement.
2. Study the works of art on each page. 
3. Write down key words from the elements that describe that art movement.
4. Use the "back" button to joggle between the movements and the elements.

In order to help people understand our gallery we need your team of curators to analyze work from each of the art movements and write descriptions for each. In your classroom your teacher will show you other paintings of these art movements for you to identify.
