Medium and Technique
Medium - is the mode of expression in which the concept, idea, or message is conveyed. Technique – shows the level of familiarity with the medium being manipulated Engagement with Art The defining roles and nature of exhibitions have had an interesting evolution, changing alongside the demands of the society that purports to partake in its display. The art exhibition, by its nature, holds a mirror up to society, reflecting its interests and concerns while at the same time challenging its ideologies and preconceptions.
Elements of Art: Visual
These elements of art are generally produced when something is done to the medium after the technique is carried out To enumerate, the elements of art and design are the following: line, shape, and form, space, color and texture.
Planes and Perspectives:
Picture plane is the actual surface of the painting or drawing, where no illusion of a third dimension exists. Aside from this technique, linear perspective changed the way pictorial representation was done.
Elements of Art: Auditory
Perhaps one of the most widespread forms of art, whose intersection in daily life is most perceptible, is music. Music is sound organized in a specific time. Some of the common elements of music are the following: rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, timbre, and texture.
Principles of Art
The principles of art will provide explicit ways in which these elements are used, how they are manipulated, how they interact, and how they inform the overall composition of the artwork to assist the artist in conveying his intention. These principles are: balance, scale and proportion, emphasis and contrast, unity and variety, harmony, movement, rhythm, and repetition and pattern.
Combined or Hybrid Art:
In combined arts , improvisation is often tapped in addition to practical and logical considerations of creating an artwork. Another movement that is reminiscent of the motivations of the Renaissance, and whose emergence is hinged on the frontiers of science and technology, is called hybrid arts.
The Fears I Hate to Admit Fear is inevitable.
We all battle with fear. Fear of failing or not being loved for who we are. Fear of having to be alone or being left out. Fear of not being good enough, smart enough or courageous enough. No one, no matter your age, gender, social status, nationality, even money on the bank or skin color gets a free pass when it comes to fear. But fear can either show us our limitations or teach us about something that we need to overcome. How we perceive it is up to us.
I could list so many things I'm afraid of. But I want to focus on the first 3 fears that I hate to admit.
Enochlophobia. This explains my first fear—being in front of a huge audience or even just a large crowd. I hate it when people watch me, I get nervous and sweat when I’m in a situation like this. It makes me feel like each and every person is judging me. I could barely talk and look at them in the eye. I avoid situations where I have to speak in front of many people. This is another fear that I would like to conquer because I know I will encounter things in life where I will need to address a crowd.
Another fear is going through life without leaving a positive mark. My mission has always been to leave a legacy I can be proud of, but it hit me, what if I never made the impact I thought? What if I go through my entire life, and end up forgotten? What if I lived my entire life, and leave no impact on a single person? I had it ringing in my mind.
Lastly, the fear of failing. Failure is perhaps my greatest fear. My fear of failure has taken a toll on my life. It has consumed me more than any of my fears. Can I reach the goals that I am aspiring in my life, will my dreams come true, can I really live my dreams, and if I have to live a very mediocre life in future what should I do? I never want to disappoint the people who support me, I don't want to disappoint myself either. I feel as if I wouldn't be successful anymore if I fail in something. I am the kind of person who would rather exhaust myself from studying than regret the next morning for receiving a low mark. Success is my biggest goal and if other people believe that failure is one ingredient to success, I can't afford to lose myself by failing. "Why do I have to fail when I am capable and have the means to avoid failure?”. I thought, "If I still fail, then maybe I haven't done my best yet." But God knows if He wants this plan for me or not. No matter how much I try or how much effort I put into the things I love, if it's not according to His plan, and then I would rather lose my grip and trust Him more. I only have to convince myself that my life doesn't end once I fail because there is more to life than just failures.
Dealing with my fears isn't easy but I personally want to use these fears to guide me. To help me grow, expand and move forward in a direction that serves me. As one writer said, "Remember, your largest fears also carries your greatest growth."
Modern Art vs Contemporary Art
Modern art refers to art that began in the 1880s. Contemporary art describes the works of
artists still living and creating artworks. Modern Art is revolutionary by its origin (anti-romanticism), while Contemporary art is revolutionary for the freedom and magnitude of experimentation by the artists Modern Art is more self-expressive, while Contemporary Art pays attention to society, thus known for its social impact Modern Art is primarily made on canvases, while Contemporary Art is on every medium that you can think of – video art, tech-enabled artworks, object design, graphical arts Modern art focuses on the subjective representation of the chosen themes, while Contemporary Art takes a strong stand on social, political and cultural aspects of the world.
