How to play the Art category
Art vocabulary draws from French, Italian and German origins β many terms are borrowed directly from European art history. Look for French-origin words in medium difficulty (aquarelle, lithography, pastel). Hard difficulty features major art movements that follow a predictable "-ism" pattern β impressionism, cubism, surrealism β which can help you guess the ending once you identify the movement.
