Visual Arts
Street Art
An art form that began explicitly as illegal vandalism and has since had individual pieces sell for millions at major auction houses.
Impressionism
A style so disliked by critics at launch that its name started as an insult.
Photography Basics
Three simple camera settings — and understanding how they trade off against each other — explain nearly everything about why one photo looks sharp and another doesn't.
Surrealism
An entire art movement built on the deliberate goal of shutting off conscious control, just to see what the unconscious mind produces when nothing is filtering it.
