The Art Story was my introduction to the expressionism movement. I learned about its origin, key ideas behind the movement, and some of the artists who inspired the movement. What was also very useful was the three examples of some of the most famous expressionism artwork. I’ll be using this as background and base my three paintings off their examples.
Reminder! My thesis statement is:

The online sources/articles I will be using for my final paper include:
