    “Of all the arts‚ abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well‚ that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors‚ and that you be a true poet. This last is essential." -- Wassily Kandinsky. Abstract Art is art that is not a precise demonstration of a form or object. This depiction can be diverged in many ways including the shape‚ color‚ and form. The artist takes the object and then either simplifies it or exaggerates it using these

    Selma Hougeir Art History- Reflection paper #1 Learning about African arts was very interesting to me. I was born in North Africa and have seen a lot of North African arts‚ but never really knew much about the sub- Saharan African arts. The most interesting part of African history for me was the history of the Nigerian arts. I could not believe that the earliest known sculptures in Africa were from the 5th century. The remarkable Terra cotta pottery heads were made from fired clay. They came

    The Art of Living As everyone knows‚ ink is something that can never be undone. It is something permanent and is very difficult to cover up or remove. It can be in a form as simple as a pen caressing a piece of paper or as complex as a needle drenched in ink‚ piercing through skin to form a different kind of art‚ known as a tattoo. As times are changing‚ tattoos seem to be getting a lot more common in my generation compared to previous ones. As tattoos become more popular‚ so do the criticisms.

    African Art History African art history has played a significant role in shaping the culture and history of the world. The belief that Africa is the cradle of the history of mankind is virtually unshakeable. The origins of African art history lie long before recorded history‚ preserved in the obscurity of time. Rock Art is centuries old‚ while shell beads fashioned for a necklace have been recovered in a cave in the furthest reach of the southern peninsula of South Africa that are 75 000 years old

    Indian Art is the art produced on the Indian subcontinent from about the 3rd millennium BC to modern times.

A strong sense of design is also characteristic of Indian art and can be observed in its modern as well as in its traditional forms. The vast scope of the art of India
