HUM 100 Realism, Impressionism, and the Modern World Worksheet
Complete this worksheet by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. In the first table of the
worksheet, complete the following:
1.
For each era, identify an artifact that depicts one of the characteristics provided.
2.
Explain which characteristic you think it represents, and why.
In the second table, address the following:
1.
In the first column, identify creators from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries who you think made
important contributions to art and culture in the form of humanities artifacts that impacted society.
3.
Identify one of the artifacts they created (in the second column) and the medium of the artifact (in the third
column). Recall from Fundamentals of Human Culture that mediums can include dance, literature, sculpture,
visual arts, architecture, music, performance, and so forth.
4.
Explain why you believe the creator felt the need to express their ideas (in the fourth column). For example,
if one of the people you chose was John Lennon, you could identify one of his songs and discuss how the song
relates to examples of his social activism.
Once you have completed the second table, answer the questions at the end of the document.

Real-life situations.
There is nothing more
real-life than being
stuck in thought.
Impression, Sunrise painting by
Monet
I see two of l the
characteristics in this
painting. The play on
light is there and is a
focal point. The
staccato brushstrokes
are also present.
Part 2: The Modern World
Person

Medium
Need to Express
Twentieth
Century:
Pablo Picasso
Les Demoiselles d’Avignon
Painting
Being bold and
not needing to
stick to the
norms of society.
Twenty-first
Century
Sara Ludy
Clumps in a Meadow
Digital Art
Abstract art that
is bright and
makes you think
about what the
intent behind it
was.
In one to two paragraphs, answer the following questions:
What differences do you notice between the artifacts from each era?
In the context of what you have learned in this theme, where do you think those differences stemmed from?
I noticed the type of art change between the centuries down to the contrast and choice of color. In the twentieth century
there was a more trying to be bold and show the beauty of regular life with its ups and downs. Then here in the twenty-
first century we are depicting things that are more abstract. I think that over time art has changed due to the world
around us. We have also had technological advances so people are able to do more and broadcast to more people.
