[|Rococo]
Rococo styles developed early in the 18th century, following the conclusion of the Baroque period. This type of art focused mainly on curves rather than blunt geometric lines and shapes. The colors used were mainly opaque and/or light colors. The themes of the art would usually focus on the romantic scenes or war heroes. Though America hadn't developed as an outstanding country for art, rococo styles were still being applied in many American colonies.

[|Neoclassicism]
Neoclassicism spawned after the Rococo movement, mid 18th century. Artists of this style tried to bring back focus of older works of art, mostly those of the Greeks and Romans. Implemented the use of tall columns, symetrical shapes, domed roofs and triangular pediments.It focused on balance and symmetry.





Art during this time refected the ideas of a new breed of thinkers. Like in philosophy, art started breaking away from the traditional ideas and themes as seen in previous artistic movements. The art styles of these movements depicted a more carefree style. Eventually, artists started looking back into the older ideas of the Greeks and Romans. This was also a reflection of the philosophy, as political ideas like democracy were also being revived.
