Proverb 20:24 - poster for final exam

This is my very simple but meaningful poster for final practical exam on color theory. I used images from Google and combined these images to interpret the meaning of  proverb 20:24 - A man's steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way?

I put an image of a fortune teller to interpret the line " How then can anyone understand his own way?" We all know what fortune tellers do and for me what they are doing is a such a very big mistake in the eyes of the Lord because they seem to make their own predictions.

This poster is 8"x10" and the color scheme was simply warm colors such as the red and yellow and a bit of saturation and light effects.

Blog# 9-- Contemporary art

Contemporary art is the art of the new generation.
It is the start of the new generation of artists.
Different styles have been developed and combined to form a new kind of art.

"Contemporary art can be defined variously as art produced at this present point in time or art produced since World War II." -- wkipedia.org

Contemporary art has also negative feedbacks even though it is considered as the newest kind of art, many critics are criticizing the artworks specially when it comes into the meaning of the artwork but then again only the artist can have the right to explain what his/her artwork is all about because we have different perspectives and perception. Our perception can be different to the artist's interpretation of his artwork.

 Many galleries are built to showcase the talents and skills of the new generation painters. Cartoon making also evolved in this era and other media based artworks.

Blog #8 -- 20th century Art

For me, this era is just the continuation of the modern art.
This period is more advanced than modern art and showed a lot of improvements and developments.
20th century art has evolved greatly specially in fields of photography.
But the rise of photography affected the portrait painting industry because photographers offers cheaper rates and faster outputs.







The main idea or style used in this period is more of
expressionism pertaining to abstractionism.
This period for me has the best application of their skills because of the use of modern technology and advanced researches. But of course the early art forms are still the strong foundation behind this very successful period.

Blog#7 -- The start of something new

First, what is modern art?

Modern art includes artistic works produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, and denotes the style and philosophy of the art produced during that era. -

Okay, so for me, modern art is the start of something new and extraordinary.
This period started all the modernization and improvements in art history. 


Artists in this period also started to explore new techniques and approach to art. 
This new style of art has a lot of styles used such as expressionism, impressionism and abstractionism.

This is where photography started and slowly became known into the art industry. This is the birth of a more creative artists who adopted the basics from the first artists and developed their own approach.

Modern art begins with the heritage of painters like Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, Georges Seurat and Henri de Toulouse Lautrec all of whom were essential for the development of modern art. At the beginning of the 20th century Henri Matisse and several other young artists including the pre-cubist Georges Braque, André Derain, Raoul Dufy and Maurice de Vlaminck revolutionized the Paris art world with "wild", multi-colored, expressive landscapes and figure paintings that the critics called Fauvism. -- Wikipedia.org
