Lesson 7 Overview

Throughout this course, you

were exposed to various

artists, movements, and

media, looking at art from

around the world throughout

history. For this project, you’ll

continue your study of artists

throughout the major periods

of art history, from the 1700s through the 1900s.

Your textbook covers the most renowned artists of each period.

However, there are other artists who changed the landscape of art and

added a significant number of other well-known works that your

textbook doesn’t cover thoroughly. You’ll now be tasked with

researching some of these artists to see how they influenced their

respective movements.
