Talk:Art styles, periods and movements

Thoughts? Should by name or by date be first? Should different countries or artistic traditions (e.g., "Western") be separated eventually? Are there any links to other pages or page associations that should be here?

...Or should there be sub-groupings, at least in the chronological portion (e.g., De Stijl under Modern Art)? --STLEric 01:45, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Added the limited geographic scope template, since this page has little mention of non-western art in the timeline. There is a little of greco-buddhism, tang dynasty, etc., but considering that eastern civilisation has been developing its own art for even longer than the west, it is very much under-represented. And then, of course, there is african art, mayan art, etc... -- Jel 09:46, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'd looked around earlier for more geographic diversity in categories, but hadn't found much in the way of articles where I looked. Perhaps I wasn't looking in the right places, or new articles have been added since then? (And do note, I was also essentially pulling the categories I knew from a mainly Western-centric art history class in the hopes that others would add more.) I'll take a look for more articles... --STLEric 02:06, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

take out by date section?
How does this sound:
 * This page should just list style/movements. The Art history page with the series box does a much better job of this. Remove the 'by date' section. This page can be renamed 'Art styles and movements.' The styles and movements being Primitivism and Art Deco and so forth.
 * Items like ASCII art and graffiti are really art genres - genre being defined as by a particular means (computer art), in a particular place (public art) or in regard to a certain subject. There is no Art genres page now. Either that would need to be made or genres are listed here separately. Clubmarx 03:47, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

This has been merged. Art movements and Art history contain this info.
