Artists have used many styles in their paintings and drawings. Here are some of the most common styles of art. Learn about each style and how to enjoy them.
Abstract: Abstract artists feel that paintings do not have to show the only things that are recognizable. In their paintings they do not try to show people, animals or places exactly as they appear in the real world. They mainly use color and shape in their paintings to show feelings. Some Abstract art is also called Non­objective art. In non­objective art, you do not see specific (特定的) things. It is not painted to look like something specific.
Cubism: Cubism is modern art made up mostly of paintings. The paintings are not supposed to look real. The artist uses geometric (几何的) shapes to show what he is trying to paint. Early Cubists used mainly dark colors such as gray, brown and green. After 1914, Cubists started to use brighter colors. Cubism is the beginning of the Abstract or Non­objective art style.
Expressionism: In Expressionist art, the artist tries to express certain feelings about one thing. The artists that paint in this style are more concerned with having their paintings express a feeling than making the paintings look exactly like what they are painting.
Pop art: Pop art can be any everyday thing that is drawn in a quick and colorful way. Pop art is short for popular art. It comes from advertising and popular entertainment.

5．Advertising and popular entertainment.Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you gain the most from them, and ensure you do not waste this wonderful opportunity to learn.
[1]Be positive about school! Don't say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school­life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.
[2]Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.
[3]Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.
[4]________. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time.
[5]Don't be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests,
loses some matches and has bad days. Friends_are_not_always_perfect, _and_they
_sometimes_say_and_do_unpleasant_things. Don't let small problems seem very big
and important.
[6]Talk about problems － sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don't be too embarrassed to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!
[7]Plan your time. Don't waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.
[8]Set targets. If your last grade was a D, work for a C. Try to make progress bit by bit. Think of small targets：“I will speak in class four times this week”， “I will finish my project on Wednesday” or “I will get two more marks this week”．
Follow my advice, and have a happy school­life!
