Art

Art brings harmony into your life and soul. It soothes you, enlivens you, brings excitement and finds expression in a variety of ways. So much appreciated and so adored, art is a manner of satisfying one’s visual senses and crave for aesthetics.

No matter what kind of art you are fond of – architecture, painting, theatre, music, photography or fashion, you will certainly find peace, harmony and beauty in its fascinating world.
In the past, art was associated with crafts and sciences. In the modern world, art is a manner of self-expression and conveying one’s emotions, fears, dreams, aspirations or spirituality. It can also be a way of interaction with the external world.

Art can be interpreted or characterized by forms, shapes, movements, sounds and overall creative concepts.
The word art can provoke several different connotations and could be interpreted in a variety of ways. It may refer to the inspirational process of creating art. It can also mean a product of art or it can be associated with the effect that art itself has on people.

Art can be divided into several different categories on the basis of its overall creative elements. It can be still (paintings, design, photography, etc), it can be in the form of performance (theatre, opera, music, etc), or it can have mixed elements.
When it comes to classical paintings and old-time graphical representations, art fits into three major categories based on the historical period into which it belongs – classical art, medieval art and renaissance art.

Classical art features harmony and proportion. It tends to idealize the object that it portrays. Typically classical art does not present emotions and it depicts any type of individuals – from iconic public figures to heroes and ordinary people. Active figures were in the center of art and motion was typically depicted in a credible manner.
Medieval art is characterized by its more traditional perspective when it comes to forms and individuals. Very often medieval art conveys religious ideas and it has a clear focus on social hierarchy when individuals have been depicted. For example, public figures with higher social importance were depicted with larger proportions in comparison to other people. Minimal emotions and single-color backgrounds are other characteristic features of medieval art.

Renaissance art is characterized by religious or secular creative concepts that are often associated with nature and three-dimensional body figures. The interaction between light and physical objects was clearly depicted in renaissance paintings, and most depictions were plain, objective and incredibly symmetrical. Backgrounds were colorful and with a clear perspective. Individuals were featured either nude or fully clothed.

Nowadays, with technological progress, art has been presented from a different perspective. The concept of interactive and digital art is becoming more and more popular. Video games, web sites and digital graphics are turning into marvelous symbols of contemporary art.
No matter what kind of art you are a fan of, one thing is sure – art is a manner of relaxation and uplifting your spirits in the best possible way.
