    You really will have to invest in a good book to get the basic idea of all the movements....

    the likes of The Story of Art by E.H Gombrich or Arts and Ideas by William Flemming.

    If you encounter any problems or questions along the way please post again...

    I'd concur with the last poster. The Story of Art by Gombrich would be the best starting point for you. You will probably be able to pick up a second hand copy easily enough at this time. Check out the Students union shops on the main campus's they usually have second hand text book sales around now.
