  Warli Painting - Indian Artwork      Warli's painting comes from India. It is a traditional folk-style painting in Maharashtra, located in the western peninsular region of India. The Warli people are among the largest tribes in India. Warlie painting dates back to the 10th century A.D. and is still practiced today. The painting depicts visual artwork from Mother Nature and the different elements of nature. Warli was originally painted on the walls of huts, passing on folktales, history, and legends of their indigenous tribe. Today, they are painted on cloth or canvas. They use rice paste, cow dung, soil, and leaves for natural color.      Their painting consists of geometric shapes like circles, triangles, and squares.  These shapes symbolize different elements of nature. Circles represent the sun or moon. Triangles represent the mountains and trees.  Squares represent human invention.

 Early Modern Art Styles That Emerged After World War I      In the late 19th and early 20th century, early modern art steered away from what we call traditional art. It has had a lasting impact on different cultures worldwide. Rather than using dark colors for their paintings, they switched to very bright and vibrant colors. They used more forms of shapes and moved away from traditional drawing. After World War I, people were so horrified that they were ready for change and ready to rebuild. Autumn Rhythm Artist: Jackson Polluck Enamel on canvas Displayed at The Metroploitan Museum of Art, New York City      This painting depicts emotional turmoil. He uses just three colors: black, white, and a tanish color. The paint is splattered throughout the canvas. There is no particular shape form. There are no particular lines in this painting.
