The Wikipedia definition of Art is:
A diverse range of human activities and the products of
those activities.
Diverse is the word I would like
to focus on today.
What does the
average person think about when you tell them you are an Artist? The first
thing that comes to mind is that you are a traditional individual who paints on
a canvas.
We, as a community know there are
hundreds of different art forms and millions of different mediums used. Take this
video for example. These are pieces from all over the globe, which focuses on
street art and optical illusion.
These pieces are some of the most
photographed art in the world and I’m not talking about professional photographs,
I’m talking about the average Joe, being blown away by it and taking a picture.
Sharing it through his or her network of friends.
Now I know, people often laugh at
the tourist who is posing alongside a bit of street art, but it is no laughing
matter, for that person is going to show people back home through sharing the
picture through social media. Surely this is the quickest way to spread your
name as an artist.
I really hope you like this video
if you haven’t seen it before and I’m interested to hear what different mediums
all you artists use.
