Art In The Midwest
I am constantly searching for new local areas or exhibits that strike my eye and really make me appreciate art in a down to earth sense. On a recent trip to the Midwestern metropolis of Indianapolis I discovered the city’s local museum, The Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA), and got much more than I had bargained for. The free admission was a great start because I knew I would encounter some patrons that might not have visited an art museum had they been forced to pay to get in but would undoubtedly realize its’ benefits after walking through. As I walked into the facility from the parking garage, there was a very thought provoking and playful mural in the tunnel and I was already forced to think and explore my own creativity before I even stepped through the doors!
Symbolism
Have you ever thought deeply about the meaning of a work of art? If not, you will be surprised to discover all of the symbolism that is carried out in art. Symbolism is extremely common it works of art whether it be carried out through the colors that are used, or the image itself.
Collage Art
Collage art isn’t a new type of art but it is becoming one of the most popular types of art. Collage art is when you take a number of different materials, colors, images, and objects to create a final image. Collage is one of the most creative types of art because there isn’t a right or wrong way to see it. There is a lot of room for interpretation in collage art.
Artist At Heart
Everyone finds themselves being pushed off into school, then later into a promising career. What many people don’t realize is that there is more to life than sitting behind an office all day. The creativity and beauty in life is often over looked by the business world unless they are talking about a new letterhead or creating some sort of proposal.
