Quiz: Which Art Movement Are You?

So what was the result, which art movement are you? abstract expressionism
Notes: Abstract expressionist artists liked to put across their feelings rather than paint realistic pictures of things they saw. Abstract Expressionist artist Jackson Pollock said 'painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is'. Their art is often expressive and messy, with lots of drips, sploshes and colour. Sound familiar? You like to express yourself – even if that gets messy! You’re spaghetti. You laugh loudly if you’re happy and bawl if you’re sad. Like abstract expressionist artists, you can be a bit moody though, as you’re very sensitive and things affect you deeply.
This painting is by an artist called Lee Krasner. Its gestural style with lots of textures and repeated marks give it a sense of rhythm. Lee Krasner was inspired by nature and lived in the countryside, but was also inspired by  modern life. It was important to her that her personality and feelings come across in her artworks. Do you get an idea of what she was like by looking at this painting?  NIGHT CREATURES at the Met
