Realism

Realism in the arts may be generally defined as the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality, and avoiding artistic conventions, implausible, exotic and supernatural elements.

Surrealism

Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for its visual artworks and writings.The aim was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality." Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself.

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from vis

Charcoal

The use of charcoal for drawing is less limited than the use of graphite pencils, with it being more spontaneous in its creativity than many other types of art material. When using charcoal, its usage has a tendency to be "scribbling or sketchy" in its techniques, quickly expressing the emotions of the artist. I like the speed and response I get from using charcoal during life drawing sessions, ranging from very bold and heavy lines on down to soft and subtle shading, with any sort of shading tones I want to use.
