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.
