I've got a final on friday and my teacher expects us to know a few terms. That's great except a few aren't in the book.

I need to get an idea of:

Primitivism
Futurism
Absurdism

Just to clarify, these are being categorized with other "isms" such as:

Impressionism
Post-Romanticism
Expressionism
Neo-Classicism
Serialism

ect...

hey you got some help here...........
in what aspects do you need help? what historical period do you need these terms for?

This test is going to suck, it covers everything from Romantic Opera to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

/shrug

Wherever they fit best?

I guess as far as primitivism is concerned, it was utilized by Stravinsky, in the Rite of Spring.

Oh yeah, DMBTabs

Welcome to it.

Should this be moved to the "historical Period" forum?

The sad thing about that is, a couple of buddies and me had some shares of google for a really long time. We had to sell it though because the one that had the most and whos name it was in needed to sell his part and it would have cost way to much for the other guy and myself to stay in so we sold too. Now google has more than tripled since.
