Surrealism, born in the 1920s, is an avant-garde movement in art and literature focused on exploring the subconscious and the irrational. Rooted in the ideas of Sigmund Freud and the radical political and social climate of the early 20th century, Surrealism aimed to bypass conventional logic and realism.

Precisionism celebrated the geometric beauty of industrial and urban landscapes, using clean lines and sharp clarity to depict factories, skyscrapers, and machinery. Merging realism with abstraction, it reflected America's modernization and influenced architecture, design, and photography.

Vorticism was a revolutionary British art movement in the early 20th century that embraced the power and chaos of the machine age. Known for its bold, angular abstraction, it captured the tension of modern industrial life and sought to reject traditional art forms with a dynamic, mechanized aesthetic.

Graphic design merges art and communication through typography, imagery, and composition. From posters and logos to web design, it influences branding, marketing, and media. As technology advances, graphic design remains a key tool in visual storytelling, digital communication, and creative expression.

Graffiti is an urban art form that combines street culture, bold visuals, and public expression. Emerging from hip-hop and social movements, it has evolved from illicit tagging to a globally recognized artistic practice, shaping modern design, activism, and creative expression.

Gravura este o tehnică de imprimare în care un artist incizează sau gravează un design pe o suprafață dură, precum metal, lemn sau linoleum. Această matriță este apoi utilizată pentru a transfera imaginea pe hârtie, creând multiple exemplare ale operei originale.
