What kind of art do you like?

Hi Jen. Oh dear! That sounds quite difficult... which one to choose? Better you than me in this case! If it were left up to me, I'd still be looking! How long was the paper you had to write on it? I did fairly well in art classes at high school, but I spent so much time on art homework that everything else suffered, so I had to drop that subject. I'm no expert on art, but I know what I like & I like what I see. The art I do these days is in a very practical & work related form - electronic circuit design. I design & build my own printed circuit boards - a tedious process that can take me months at a time. Actually - I reckon you would have seen... uh... I don't know what it's called, but like, say a picture is taken of a city at night, for example. It gets stuck on a board - the usual treatment with a nice wooden frame & everything, but this one has lights - maybe hundreds of 'em! Each of them blinking on & off, some flickering, some permenently on... it's so real & so life-like, like you're seeing the whole thing in real life! The phasing & the relative intensities & the busy-ness of it... one can stand there for hours with their mouth hanging open & not be aware of how much time has gone by! It's all micro-processor controlled, of course, but that's something I would like to have the time to do. If I hung a few of them up on the walls at home, I could sell the house instantly for far more than it's worth.

Hi Jen, Nivce to see ya after a long interval. Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gauge and the list is a really long one, I mean of the Great artist of the yester years. The visual Art, the oil painting, the water painting and many more. Personally I like abstract painting like that of Dali and late M F Hussain. Another thing that fascinates me more is creative art. This is a new concept. Say a very familiar thing is made out with waste material in such a way that it looks exactly like like the representative of the original one. Like the one in the picture mu 9 years son made a whale with paper and some other waste material.

I love the Impressionists , specifically Van Gogh. His use of color is so rich it comes off the canvas and slaps you in the face. With every brushstroke I can feel his passion for the subject. He painted like Beethoven wrote music, all out! And like Chopin , It takes my breath away.Here is my favorite Van Gogh.

I like watercolors, and I don't really care too much for what is painted if the technique is well done. My family went to Rome when I was a teen and my sister kept liking certain sculptures and it turned out they were all done by one man, even in different places she'd say she liked it and then it turned out to be done by the same artist. I like various kinds of art, mosaics amaze me and I'd like to learn to sculpt, but right now I'll doing "pictures" with my cross stitching, even if they aren't original!

I have been reading the "History of Women Artists" for my art class and I think my favorite are the tapestries because they are similar to banners, something I have made myself. Though I am not nearly as good as my mentor who taught me, it was a fun project and if I had the money, I would continue to make them. I hope you really didn't want the name of the artist or the tapestry, because I read that part Monday and I can't remember..

Surrealism tends to be my favorite? Why? Because it represents the subconscious mind, dreamscapes, and unhindered imagination. It varies from moderate to high surrealism and lets the mind explore for both the observer and the artist. I want to do surrealism myself sometime and have done a bit in my art classes. It is one that is harder to do for the more rigid and logical thinker.

I like painting and weaving different patterns and pictures. I learned painting - first with oil and then with Acrylics and water colour. I wrote an article in Triond about the method I use and it is now in Expertscolumn too. Acrylics is water soluble and very easy to paint with and I had a great teacher who showed some techniques that makes the paintings look almost professional.. I like to paint without the feeling that the picture has to look like a photo. It can be a bit surrealistic but you can still see what it is meant to be..

i am not a true follower of art but i do like watching the Antiques Roadshow to see art pops up. i love Monet and since i love rustic things, antiques and just about anything old, i LOVE Grandma Moses. i love her folksy paintings.

I do like art...but my favorites are Terry Redlin and Nina Fritz....I have prints and plates by both. Terry Redlin's painting depict my lifestyle...outdoors with snow...log cabins with ice skaters in the background and also churches. I am not so hot on his wildlife as much as his landscapes...winter pictures mostly. Nina Fritz paints seascapes...mothers and children feeding sea gulls....playing by the ocean. She now is in Hollywood doing movie sets....but I love the colors she uses. I have been to Terry Redlin's gallery in Watertown So. Dak. He is in a nursing home with alheimers now.....what a waste of a brilliant mind.....so sad.

I like abstract, realism and surrealism. I like the type with alot going on in the picture as far as structure goes. My ex was quite an artist. He tried to get me interested but I had no aptitude for it at all. I write but can draw worth a whip! I do enjoy seeing art that people I know has drawn. And I try not to get too jealous. Hehe

Hi jen... My favorite art form is collage or montage. I like paper cutting and pasting by them to give a art shape is one of my best art. One lining art also i like to do. but now due to eye problem, i have lessened them. Have a nice time.

I don't think I could stand static art for long periods of time, so I'd choose performing arts. Last year, when I went to Vegas and saw a Cirque du Soleil show, I liked it so much that I told myself I wanted to see more of it. And I think that performance that they do is art in itself.

Hi JenInTN I am not that great when it comes to understanding many forms. But there are some which I like - the hand made cards, handlooms etc. Just about 30 kilometers from my place is another town where they do embroidery on sheets of cloth by hand. It is called "Chandua" in the local language and over the centuries it has become a name in international markets too. Personally, my brother used to learn this art and also made some stuff years ago. I on the other hand, was more confined to crafts - cutting and making greeting cards for almost all occasions.

I like painting, I appreciate much the painting of Da Vinci and Michael Angelo... they are all superbly awesome.

I have a beautiful picture of Matt Smith, the current Doctor Who, created solely by hand with pencil, it depicts him in his trade bow tie and floppy hair, I have it on my wall in my bedroom, the eyes seem to watch over me, no matter where I am in my room his eyes are upon me. The artist is clearly talented, I just wish I could draw pictures, but I was useless at art. I prefer to have pictures of famous stars on screen, than boring old countryside pictures or abstract. It's good we are all different, and like different kinds of art.

You would love my other half! She is a painter I have an eye for the surreal but then art is subjective. Everyone has a different eye. Lately I have been drawn to fishing trawler paintings! odd but true

I'm fond of surrealism, realism and anime ( Can be count as stylized art :D ) Salvador Dali is my favorite surrealism artist though.

I love art!!! I am an artist. I myself, create all kinds of different art because I don't have one favorite style. A lot of people in the art world say that an artist should do the same type of art over and over so, they'll be associated with one style, but I disagree. Doing the same thing over and over kills creativity. I'd much rather go from medium to medium and express myself as I wish. My all time favorite artist is Jean-Michelle Basquiat. Good discussion!!!

Mostly drawing, I just like the idea of drawing. I love to draw and do water painting. Happy mylotting!

In fact, I am not too understand about art especially about mosaic or maybe statues. But I love to see some one create statue or mosaic in my college. It look like very amazing. I thing some one who create statue with their original idea is amazing person. I hope someday, I will be understand about this interesting science
