Art movements have a few key characteristics:

• Common Ideas: Artists often come together around similar themes or beliefs.
• Different Methods and Styles: Each movement has its own special techniques and looks.
• Historical Background: They show changes in society and culture over time.

These movements help us see and think about culture in new ways. They can change how people think, challenge what’s normal, and offer fresh perspectives on the world. This makes art a strong way to comment on social issues.
