Art Styles

Pop Art

This is one of my favorite styles of art that I love. I have a love for bright colors and random colored items. It is vibrant and it sort of represents my generation. Colorful, unpredictable and original. Somehow, it reminds me of New York. New York for me is the place I want to end up in. It is a big city with different people living in it and usually it is the place where artistic dreams of the young come true.

The bright colors used gives me an empowering feeling. It shouts "Look at me!" but not in a bad way. It just screams confident. The use of bright colors on random items or objects for example like the different colored lips above, reminds me that there is no limitations. Anything can be colored and used as art, anything can be made into something beautiful and it is in a way, your interpretation of something inside of you.

Action painting

My love for bright colors sort of influenced my decision for favorite art styles, including this one. The unlimited use of color drew me to this style and also it's lack of technique usage.

I am someone who does not follow rules very well especially when it comes to expressive art  and writing. I would feel like I am limited, like I am not being able to be me. I understand that there are some rules to follow but to perfect a technique takes a lot of concentration and sometimes you will realize that the technique you're practicing is not you,

Action painting, like the first picture, can abstract. It can just be a lot of colors. Like an explosion. Or it can be like the Superman picture. He is ready to get into action. Unlike the first one, this picture has structure but yet, it is not as defined.

Determination.

An explosion of blue and purple

Purple

 

Purple is bright, it's youthful. Somehow, it's a color that describes me. When my friends see purple shoes, purple bags, they will just tell me that it's so me. My best friend likes purple too. Purple reminds about the happy times that we had even though things are different now. It reminds me of Barney the dinosaur. It reminds me of Justin Bieber. It was his signature color when he was still his down-to-earth, boy-next-door self. Justin Bieber had made it in the world and somehow purple is the also associated with the thought of "
Nothing is impossible." 

Purple makes me feel like I can do anything, like I can be anything. I guess it's different for everything but I like the feeling of being infinite.

Blue

There is nothing to be explained when it comes to blue. Blue was my childhood. I have loved blue since I was a little. Ask me what color would I like my bottle to be, blue. What color for my plate? Blue. Anything? Blue. I love blue till now.

I have no reason why but I know how it makes me feel. I feel limitless with blue like how the sea is. No boundaries. No rules. My bag is blue. My stationaries are blue. I am now looking for blue converse shoes. Blue is a color that defines me, like purple. They are MY color. 

I am very particular when it comes to which shade of blue that I like. I like the darker blue. Something bold and bright like the eyes of the cat above. Or the blue on the dress. I has to be bold and bright. I don't like matt blue colors. It's too tamed. I want bright blue.
