For my pick three I got: Cubism for a style, Symmetry for a principle, and Watercolor as my media. I was already familiar with what symmetry is and how it looks and Ive used watercolors before so a bulk of my research went into cubism and what it was like. Basically Cubism is a movement that started in the early 1900s with a few artists involved, but the most famous of those was Pablo Picasso. Cubism is an abstract art form that uses a lot of shapes to create an image, but cubism has a few styles of its own. Some cubism is very basic and abstract only using simple colors and shapes, but others can become more complex and real looking, but always are using shapes to create the art. Here's a few images that I liked:
