Genres are a traditional way to categorize art by theme or subject matter. Unlike styles of art (such as Impressionism, Pop Art, Cubism), genres can help you compare and contrast types of art across times, places, and cultures. Knowing the genres will help you describe, analyze, and interpret art. This vocabulary-building game introduces the genres, defines their key characteristics, and provides an example of each one.
