Dada was a movement that began in the early 20th century, during World War I, as a reaction against the horrors and irrationality of the war. It started in Zurich, Switzerland, and quickly spread to cities like Berlin, Paris, and New York. Dada was characterized by its rejection of traditional art, literature, music, and cinema, instead welcoming randomness, silliness, and a dislike for traditional values. Artists, writers, and musicians associated with Dada, such as Marcel Duchamp, Tristan Tzara, and Hans Arp, created works that intentionally made no sense, challenging the traditional ideas of art and culture. In literature, those associated with Dada used random words and sounds to create unusual poetry. In visual art, they made use of mixed media, combining different materials and images, and turning everyday objects into art pieces. The movement aimed to shock and disturb, questioning the very nature of art and society.

It focused on conveying emotional experiences and inner feelings rather than realistic representations. In art, artists like Edvard Munch and Egon Schiele used bold colors and twisted forms to express intense emotions. In music, composers like Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Berg created works with harsh sounds and unusual structures to create strong emotional responses. In literature, writers such as Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke explored themes of anxiety and isolation through new and often broken narrative styles. The movement aimed to show the personal and psychological experiences of modern life, focusing on emotional impact over realistic representation.

Impressionism was an art movement that began in France in the late 19th century. Main figures of the movement included Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Impressionism is known for its focus on showing the effects of light and color in everyday scenes. Artists used quick and soft brushstrokes and bright, unmixed colors to create a sense of liveliness and movement, often painting outdoor scenes to show natural light. The goal was to show how a scene felt in that moment rather than detailed or realistic representations. Impressionism changed the way people viewed art by emphasizing how light and color affect the senses.

Naturalism was a literary and artistic movement that began in the late 19th century, based on the ideas of realism, which aimed to represent life accurately and truthfully without making it seem more desirable than it is. Naturalism went beyond realism by focusing even more on showing life as it is. In literature, writers like Émile Zola and Theodore Dreiser aimed to show characters and situations with accurate, often harsh detail, emphasizing the influence of environment, family traits, and social conditions on human behavior. In art, painters like Jules Bastien-Lepage and Anders Zorn showed everyday scenes and ordinary people with a high degree of detail and accuracy, aiming to reflect the true nature of life without making it seem appealing. Naturalism aimed to show a more scientific and objective view of life, often emphasizing the harsh or dark aspects of existence.

Fresco is a painting technique where artists apply pigments mixed with water onto wet plaster. As the plaster dries, the paint becomes part of the wall or ceiling surface, creating a long-lasting image. This method is often used for large paintings or artworks on buildings. Frescoes can be colorful and detailed, and because the paint is absorbed into the plaster, they tend to be very durable.
