The Abstract Art Movement

Hey Friends!
Let’s take a trip back in time to the 1940s! Did you know that was 80 years ago? What is there for us to discover all the way back then? Well. I’m glad you asked!

In the 1940s, Americans came up with the Abstract Art Movement right after World War II. This became one of the most popular trends, and it lasted through to the 1950s. Have you ever heard of New York? New York became one of the most popular states in America during this art movement because many abstract artists were making their art there and showcasing it in fancy galleries to the people who lived in that area.

Hey Friends! 
There are so many museums you can visit virtually, this is one of my favorites! Colonial Williamsburg 
is a living, breathing 18th-century city! Otherwise known as a living history museum. You can be transported back in time to discover untold stories and find out what life was like in 1700's Virginia. On their Facebook page, you can learn how to make  18th century style bread, take a science class with George Wythe, ask George Washington questions through FB Live, discover their archeological dig sites, do a 360 degree tour of the governors palace, and even have live music lessons!! Take a look at all they have to offer by following the button below! Stay safe and keep learning!!
