Celebrating Diversity #12This edition of Celebrating Diversity I want to focus on two extremes of art: Extremely detailed and realistic works and minimal and abstract art. Both tendencies or trends have their place and time in art and history and are appreciated by many people. Not always does one person like both, but to me personally, art has always been more about feeling, than about complexity. Something simple can touch me emotionally as well as something blasting with details. Art is just as individual as every human being! How do you feel about these tw
Celebrating Diversity #16What is art? I can assure you that the answer I've chosen for myself is probably not the answer that works for you. Regardless of the differences our backgrounds and experiences bring to the table there are some universals that pop up across media and eras and what have you. This time, I've chosen 16 pieces that somehow incorporate the human form. Celebrating Diversity #1-15 found here:#1#2#3

Celebrating Diversity #13In this issue of Celebrating Diversity, I would like to remind you of an amazing feeling...when you see a piece of art created in a medium or genre that you have little or no experience of working in, and it feels like you're witnessing something magical, something beyond your comprehension.It's wonderful to revel in the joy of How do they do that? and find inspiration in the creations of other artists. So I challenge you to take a step outside of the galleries that you regularly browse and immerse yourself in the experience of indulging in something new.How do you celebrate diversity? Do you regularly browse, comment on and collect art that's wildly different from what you create? Do you watch artists who use mediums that you don't use in your own

Celebrating Diversity #3Hello, everyone!When we don't see enough of a particular art form, it is difficult for us to understand or appreciate it. This project aims to bring you features that you might not have seen otherwise from a variety of galleries around dA. For example, I tend to live and breathe photomanipulations and (to a lesser extent) digital art, and I really enjoyed taking a moment to browse the non-photomanipulation galleries for treasures. I found many, and I hope you will enjoy the features I have chosen.Jade (^SanguineVamp)These are the things I love::bigthumb153843440::bigthumb18971
Creeping Wednesday #5It's the fifth Creeping Wednesday!Today's theme is a rat, so be careful if you're afraid of them, like my mother, for example. Or her mother... And grandma's mother, too. Many thanks to ~Sieskja and *SandraHultsved, who suggested a great part of this feature. The next theme is a witch - but it's not about those oh ah pretty ones, I mean those with warts, troll noses and half of their teeth. Are you brave enough to find them? 3 questions to :iconsocar:, a neat rat portraitist - but not only!What is that attracts you to Traditional Art?Traditional art, more particularly pen & ink, was the first type of art I became comfortable with. I tried out digital art for a few years, when it started gaining in popularity, but I never became accustomed to looking at the screen while drawing on the tablet. It felt awkward, and didn't give me the kind of control I was looking for. Al
The Beginning of American ComicsI am sure this is a topic a lot of you would be interested in! As with my article on the Beginning of Manga. I'm only going to touch on the root of it for now as I have other articles planned to tie them together! The American comic book, is really quite new in comparison with past narrative art forms. In fact we haven't had a century yet of the modern American comic as we know it.Let us begin by looking at The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck by Swiss artist Rudolphe Töpffer. It is considered to be the oldest known comic book and started in Europe and was printed in several languages all the way back in 1837, but it was reprinted in 1842 in New York, the first printed comic book in America. There were no word balloons as you would imagine comics today, however there was text in the book to describe what was going on. This was produced in a period of comic book histor
Famous Photographs: The Afghan GirlIf you run a google search on what are the top famous Photographs of all time, The Afghan Girl is sure to appear. She is truly a face from History and one that many across the globe have tried to capture within others time and time again. But what exactly has made this image and its photographer so captivating?Source: Daily Mail/National Geographic/Steve McCurryEyes, they say, are the window to the soul. And capturing such a piercing and expressive look in a photograph is a highly sought after skill. The Afghan Girl exhibits suspense, suspicion and a sense of distrust at the person behind the lens, she gives off an air of maturity, a foreboding feeling - a vulnerability behind years of strength. That, is what makes her so captivating.Sharbat Gula is her name, although few even know this rather important detail. Sh
