Generally, the era known as the modern art movement includes paintings, sculptures, and other artwork created from 1880 to 1945. Artwork produced during this period became progressively more abstract and less realistic. In the early part of this period, artists experimented by interpreting color, shape, and form in unique ways that represented their own visions rather than nature. At the height of the modern art movement in the early 1940s paintings and sculptures were completely abstract, with no recognizable objects.

She stared at the ivy-covered building pictured on the front. In her mind, Lani looked through those multi-paned windows and saw hallways that connected classrooms and studios. “I belong there,” she said to herself. arrowBoth My dream started out in a meadow blanketed in velvety greens and sprinkled with wildflowers. I was drawn to walk across the meadow. No one told me to. I just knew that I was supposed to. Everything seemed perfect, until I looked up and noticed the sky was turning a pale orange. It was terribly eerie and sent a chill down my spine. But I knew that no matter what, I had to face my fear and keep going. While I was walking—actually, I was running to beat the band—the sky turned bright blue with puffy clouds of cotton lingering about. The air filled with the deliciously yummy scent of freshly baked apple pie. The branches on the trees in the meadow shimmered gloriously in the bright sunlight.
