Art Rocks - Feedback

Image
Last week I wanted to find out more about Art on Rocks and how artists, like me, find this kind of art relaxing, inspiring or even just enjoyable. Now its time for the feedback. As I said in my previous blog “ Art Rocks ” for research, is that I’ve seen this style of art on my Facebook timeline so often and the pieces people produce are so memorizing and beautiful. Pieces ranging from insects, portraits, buildings and animals and my, do some of them take my breath away. I don’t particularly like painting but seeing these pieces has made my fingers itch. I will definitely in the follow weeks prepare for my first piece and share it with my fellow artists. My blog has definitely gotten some feedback from the questionnaire I posted and I’m pretty impressed by some of the answers not to mention some of the examples of work I’ve received. Flipping brilliant! So what have these Rock Artists been saying in their questionnaires? Will they be able to convince you to maybe start engag

Try Something New - Cell Pouring

Image
Have you seen this craze about how people pour different colours of paint into a cup and just dump it all over a canvas but the result that comes out is so beautiful? Crazy enough how none of the colours mix and make these funny little cells! Well I recently found a place offering a workshop and thought WHY NOT?! We all need some inspiration and my recent blog on 10 Tips for Finding Inspiration says that you need to try something new which is exactly what I did! It was the very first workshop I’ve attended and it was so exciting to be part of something that I think is such a cool idea. Learning a lot about paint which I don’t really like doing but might start with in the near future. For this painting technique, whether it be for a professional or intermediate artist (or not even an artist) is such an easy style to learn, just going crazy with it. Like I said you don’t even need to be an artist, just combining eccentric colours could leave a beautiful result. My aunt who

Art vs Graphic Design

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ART VS GRAPHIC DESIGN Being an artist and graphic designer I’ve always thought of myself as an artist in both of these careers even though Art and Graphic design are seen as two different categories. Can Graphic design really be seen as art? While both artists and graphic designers create their own visual interpretation and composition using their skill set and talent they have accumulated over the years, it can be quite an argument to have when saying that they are the same thing, but when you have a look at why both create these illusions and illustrations you will find that they are in fact quite the opposite. Many designers just like me consider themselves to be an artist but many artist don’t see themselves as designers. Why is that? Does that contribute to the reason why they could be so very different? Let’s take a look at why they could be distinctively different. ART IS INTERPRETED, DESIGN IS UNDERSTOOD One of the main differ

Art Therapy

Art Therapy Some people go to therapy, some listen to music and some just paint. For many people going through depression it can be quite a difficult journey and finding a way to deal with it could be even harder. There’s always to help us forget about the difficulty we’re going through and in my opinion I think creating art is such a great way of dealing and helping to forget about it even if it’s just for 5 minutes. What is Art Therapy? By using different art mediums a person can express their feelings and issues that they are going through. They can create images and objects using this expressive therapy and through that communicate to the Art Therapist without any spoken words. This is a great way to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being through a creative process. It is used to express a person’s way of thinking and to create awareness of oneself and others. This form of expression can help improve development, increase a person’s coping s
