A laurel wreath is used as a symbol of victory, success, and achievement and dates back to Greek mythology -
In medieval times, each noble family had a “coat of arms.” This was the family's own special symbol, kind of like having a family logo.

During the Renaissance, humanity, education, and literacy were valued. They wanted to understand their world through education. -
The Enlightenment Era was based on learning new things and thinking in a new way. It sort of woke people up to a new place and time with new knowledge.
-
The Romantic era was all about making things more beautiful and graceful than they were, and that's exactly what was done in this painting. -
I feel like this painting has a little bit of Romanticism mixed in. This painting is Victorian because of the prim and properness shown. -
In Modern art, the styles of the past were rejected and artists experimented to make new styles. For example, Gorge Seurat made this painting using pointillism. -
This painting looks to be very teacher-appreciation-week-ad-from-the-70's-y because of (once again) the clothing styles, the colors, and I would also say the style of painting.
-
I would say that the Post Postmodern art is sometimes very emotional and heavy, like this one, where a child looses her balloon. (When I was younger, I thought that that was the worst pain in the world)
