Ro-co-co-co-co-cococococoooo

Rococo art followed Baroque. It was a bit similar in the way people were painted, but very different in subject matter. Rococo art was extremely risque for its time and showed a lot of partying. I think a lot of the painting techniques were very well done but they could have been put to a better use. The one of the girl on the swing seemed so innocent at first until we discussed it in class. I'm not trying to say that it was wrong to paint such things, but I think it would have been better without so much innuendo. There's a time and place for it, as for many things in life. I guess I just don't understand what it was like to live during that time.
