Drama: Elements, Stagecraft and Performance – Drama is a story told by actors who become characters and act it out in front of an audience. Every drama has characters who want something, a conflict when those wants clash, a plot that builds tension to a climax and then resolves, dialogue, a setting and a theme. On stage, actors use voice and body, and the production adds lighting, set, costume and sound.

Impressionism – Impressionism was an art movement that began in France in the 1860s–1870s. Painters such as Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt painted outdoors, quickly, to catch the changing effects of light and the atmosphere of one moment. They used bright, pure colours placed side by side in visible brushstrokes, coloured shadows and scenes of modern everyday life. Their first group show in Paris in 1874 was mocked by critics, who took the name from Monet's painting 'Impression, Sunrise'. Impressionism opened the way to Post-Impressionism (Seurat, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Gauguin) and modern art, and the word was also used for music (Debussy) and literature.
Expressionism: Painting What You Feel, Not What You See – Expressionism (about 1905–1925) was a modern art movement that showed inner feelings rather than the outside world. Artists bent shapes, used strong unreal colours and rough brushwork to show fear, anger, joy or loneliness. Its forerunners were Van Gogh and Munch. Fauvism in Paris (Matisse) freed colour; in Germany, Die Brücke (Kirchner) used jagged woodcut shapes and Der Blaue Reiter (Kandinsky, Marc) treated colour as spiritual feeling. Expressionism also shaped film, theatre, poetry and prose.
