In art, realism refers to the accurate depiction and representation of nature or contemporary life. Realism abandons idealized imagination and advocates careful observation of the appearance of things and realistic depiction, which contains many artistic thoughts in different civilizations.

Painters seize a characteristic side to paint, so they have to apply color directly to the canvas with a flying brush. They can only think more about the overall effect of the painting and less about details. Impressionism is a kind of brushwork with extensive brushwork and a lack of decoration.

Brutalist painters are keen on the use of bright and strong colors, often using paint directly squeezed out of the paint tube, with blunt and extensive brushwork, to create strong picture effects, fully showing the pursuit of emotional expression of expressionist tendencies.

In form, it prefers the expressive function of lines, as well as the composition between lines and colors, and between lines, colors and composition, showing strong decorative tendency and aestheticism and abstract characteristics.

Expressionism is that artists focus on the expression of inner emotions through their works, while ignoring the description of the form of the object, so it is often reflected in the distortion and abstraction of reality.

Artists describe objects from many angles and place them in the same picture to express the most complete image of objects.

Dada was led by a group of young artists and anti-war activists who expressed their despair over bourgeois values and the First World War through anti-aesthetic works and protests.

Pop art is characterized by its direct borrowing of cultural symbols from commercial society, and then sublimation of artistic themes from them.

These 15 art schools are diverse group movements, which develop and change not only because of the aesthetic pursuit of artists within the schools and the development and change of the creation style, but also because of the mutual struggle, competition and interaction with other schools. In the struggles, contests, and functions between schools, some grow strong, while others may fade away and disappear. In general, however, the emergence of a large number of art schools, competing with each other and even fighting with each other, is an important sign of the prosperity of art, and will promote the prosperity of art.
