What style of art would best be used to communicate a direct message? Explain

Using a camera or cellphone, take 3 photographs from your immediate environment that exemplify each of the following styles of art. Be creative!:

• Realism

You can manipulate your photographs with any software effects to achieve the appropriate results. For example, you can take a photo of a friend or family member, and using software, blur the image to represent impressionism.

Include your 3 original photographs in your paper. (Save the photos to your desktop. If you use your phone camera, you can e-mail them to yourself. Open the image and right-click and copy. Open a Word document and right-click and paste.)
