Traditional Art

Image
Art exists in a million ways, in a million different forms, from many different places, made by many different people. This week I wanted to talk about the traditional art from my country Papua New Guinea. We have a lot of customs and cultures involving many different forms of art like singing, dancing,  totem carvings, pottery and paintings.  Since it is September, the month in which we celebrate our country's independence, I wanted to find out and explore the traditional art of my country. Firstly, our traditional attire incorporates a lot of art. From the designs of the tattoos to the different colors of the paint and feathers of the many different species in our country. All the provinces of Papua New Guinea have their own way of dressing and dancing traditionally but each province has their story which is showcased and told in their dance and attire.  We also have different totem carvings. These are made of wood and carved to look like different people and animals. ...

Feelings about art

Image
I chose art because it is a means of Self-expression. Art provides a means for me to express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a visual or creative form. It allows one to communicate ideas or feelings that may be difficult to express through words alone. It also offers an outlet for exploring new ideas, experimenting with different techniques, and letting my imagination run wild. There are no set boundaries and limit in art. It is all about self expression.  It also serves as a form of relaxation, stress relief, and self-reflection. In stating that, art is special. it is special because Art allows individuals to express their own different thoughts, emotions, and perspectives in ways that words alone cannot capture. It provides a platform for creativity, imagination, and new ideas, allowing artists to communicate their ideas and feelings through visuals, music, or performance-based mediums. Art has the power to bring out strong emotions.  It can inspire, chal...

The A's of Art

Image
Imagine a world without art, no music, no dance, no colors, no novels and no films. This would be a boring world, right? But luckily, this isn't our world and it is all because of art. Though, some may not see it, art contributes to a lot of things in our life. Some that matter and some that do not. Art may help us and heal us in many ways. I know some may think that art is useless, believe me, I did too. But, then I realized that we humans are art and because we matter, art matters. Well if you think about it, coming from a Christian point of view, God created us, he is the artist who put His everything including his feelings and emotions in creating us. See, so art existed even before we existed.    I grew up in a very artistic family. My dad is very good at sketching and drawing, my sister and I love to paint and I love drawing too. I began doing art to have fun or just get my thoughts out of reality. Well, to be honest, I wasn't really good at drawing or painting...

Abundant Easy Art

 ART Art express us when we are drawing or imagining things of creativity and a visual form of our creative skill. It is a skill of beauty and emotion and a visual form such as painting, sculpture and producing works. I feel that art is a special skill that is given to us and  a beauty or emotions of our imagination that visualize that we did something with our own skills. THE STARRY NIGHT   ( Dutch :  De Sennacherib ) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch  Post-Impressionist  painter  Vincent van Gogh . Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his  asylum  room at  Saint-Rémy-De-Provence , just before sunrise, with the addition of an imaginary village. The Starry Night  is one of the most recognizable paintings in Western art. Mona Lisa   The Mona Lisa is a half-length portrait painting by Italian artist Leonardo Da Vince. Considered an archetypal masterpiece of the Italian Renaiss...

                                    To artists, art is what they make, to musicians, art is their music, to poets art is their poems. I say art is anything that we see or hear that express or show us the emotions and feelings of someone else. To me, art is about releasing what you feel in a way that others may feel that too. Art can be historical, religious or cultural. I have always thought of art as a portal between two worlds, or should I say, two minds. This is because art connects us. For example, the Mona Lisa or the Starry night are paintings done by artists from around the world.                                          Because of these artists we now know about the art and   cultures of other countries. Art brings us together and       connects us. I...
