TYPES OF ART There are many types of art, we can go from Architecture to Sculpture. There is also Sand art and religious art. Let’s talk about some of the types of art!
Animation Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and the illusion of change by means of the rapid succession of sequential images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon and beta movement, but the exact causes are still unclear.
There are some forms of animation that do not feature a rapid succession of sequential images, but these are usually not considered "true" or "full" animation. For instance, the physical movement of image parts through simple mechanics in magic lantern slides and the movement of the projector (the magic lantern) in phantasmagoria provided popular moving picture shows.
Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be
recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape, digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation, and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced.
Animation methods include traditional animation, and methods that use stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets, and clay figures. Images display in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. Computer animation processes generating animated images with the general term computer-generated imagery (CGI). 3D animation uses computer graphics, while 2D animation is used for stylistic, low bandwidth and faster real-time renderings.

BODY ART One of the oldest (and newest) forms - includes body painting and face painting, as well as tattoos, mime, "living statues" and (most recently) "performances" by artists like Marina Abramovic and Carole Schneemann. The most common forms of body art are tattoos and body piercings. Other types include scarification, branding, subdermal implants, scalpelling, shaping (for example tight-lacing of corsets), full body tattoo and body painting. Body art is also a sub-category of performance art, in which artists use or abuse their own body to make their particular statements. More extreme body art can involve mutilation or pushing the body to its physical limits. In more recent times, the body has become a subject of much broader discussion and treatment than can be reduced to body art in
its common understanding. Important strategies that question the human body are: implants, body in symbiosis with the new technologies, virtual bodies, among others. Body painting, or sometimes bodypainting, is a form of body art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin, and can last several hours or many weeks (in the case of mehndi or "henna tattoos") about two weeks. Body painting that is limited to the face is known as face painting. Body painting is also referred to as (a form of) "temporary tattoo"; large scale or full-body painting is more commonly referred to as body painting, while smaller or more detailed work can sometimes be referred to as temporary tattoos.
SOME ARTISTS Illusion Artist Dain Yoon 윤다인 Dain Yoon believes her body art mirrors the way people experience the world. “People live in illusions,” says the 24-year-old artist from Seoul, South Korea. “People see everything in their own subjective way.” Dain Yoon goes by the name designdain on Instagram. She does beautiful body and face illusion paintings. Although the art look’s photo shopped but they are actually real. She creates such a perfect illusion of eyes, lips and face that can make anyone gazing feel dizzy or freaked out. Since she was young, Dain Yoon, now 23, had a knack for painting. Her talent allowed her to attend the most prestigious arts schools in South Korea: Yewon Arts
Secondary, Seoul Arts High School(She also graduated both at the head of her class) and Korean National University of Arts. Then what is her background behind her decision to call her works, an ‘illusion art’? Straight to the point, Dain Yoon’s sharp observation becomes food for her ‘illusion art’- an artistic means that she has readily adapted. The beginning can be different from the end, in fact- it mostly is than when it is not. (She once gave an interview with a certain media on this matter, as I quote: “The real face reveals itself underneath the hand that hid it, expressing how the first impression of a person does not tell the whole story”)
Yoon’s fascination with the complexity of human beings is what inspires her art works. Her ‘Illusion art’ has rooted from concerns regarding ways to wellexpress a person’s diversity and multi-facets, and the same goes for her decision to portray sensations arising from the impressions of men. Here, artistic upbringing affected her much into exploration into stage make-up, given that her father is currently working with the department of architecture and her mother is an artist.) When it comes to inspiration, Dain says there is “nothing grand” about her sources. “Anything, even in a very ordinary life, could be great inspirations with different perspectives.”

Gutai group 具体美術協会 The Gutai group (具体美術協会 Gutai Bijutsu Kyōkai) is the first radical, post-war artistic group in Japan. It was founded in 1954 by the painter Jiro Yoshihara in Osaka, Japan, in response to the reactionary artistic context of the time. This influential group was involved in large-scale multimedia environments, performances, and theatrical events and emphasizes the relationship between body and matter in pursuit of originality. The movement rejected traditional art styles in favor of performative immediacy. Gutai art has included many mediums such as paint, performance, film, light, sound, and other unconventional materials. Attempting to create unprecedented art, many Gutai artists experimented with materials that challenged the boundaries of art. Some artists who challenged the art making
method are Saburo Murakami who punctured paper with his body, Atsuko Tanaka who schematically wired alarm bells and wore a dress made of flashing lightbulbs, and Shozo Shimamoto who shot paint from cannons and threw bottles of paint from elevated surfaces. Kazuo Shiraga, the "foot painter," wrestled in cement, gravel, clay, plaster, pebbles, and twigs in what he called "Challenging Mud" and then went on to create works in which he would suspend himself over a canvas and paint with his toes. His work "married theory with practice"[16] which was one of Gutai's aspirations. The mediums used to produce Gutai art had no restrictions.
Illustration An illustration is a decoration, interpretation or visual explanation of a text, concept or process, designed for integration in published media, such as posters, flyers, magazines, books, teaching materials, animations, video games and films. The origin of the word “illustration” is late Middle English (in the sense ‘illumination; spiritual or intellectual enlightenment’): via Old French from Latin illustratio(n- ), from the verb illustrate. Contemporary illustration: Contemporary illustration uses a wide range of styles and techniques, including drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, montage, digital design, multimedia, 3D modelling. Most illustrators work on a freelance basis. Depending on the purpose, illustration may be expressive, stylised, realistic or highly technical. In the art world, illustration has at times been
considered of less importance than graphic design and fine art. Today, however, due in part to the growth of graphic novel and video game industries, as well as increased use of illustration in magazines and other publications, illustration is now becoming a valued art form, capable of engaging a global market. Original illustration art has been known to attract high prices at auction. The US artist Norman Rockwell's painting "Breaking Home Ties" sold in a 2006 Sotheby's auction for USD15.4 million. Many other illustration genres are equally valued, with pinup artists such as Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas, for example, also attracting high prices.
SOME ILLUSTRATORS Ensee Known as Ensee, Korean artist MiKyung Choi creates pure and pastel-colored digital illustrations depicting young girls with their eyes closed, concealed by flowers and cactus. A visual and delicate approach, to discover in images. Her illustrations reverberate profound beauty in stillness as if capturing moments of the organizational and curious thoughts that stream through her life. The kind of art that takes stillness into a familiar place of love and beauty. A place we often forget within our own selves. Some of the images appear to be self-portraits that conceal, and yet reveal, her essence and unique talent.
Kelsey Beckett Kelsey Beckett is an illustration Graduate from the College for Creative Studies in Michigan. She is a young 22 years old with a gorgeously defined style, rendering mysterious portraits of ladies, with a focus on The Game of Thrones. She works mainly in digital formats, occasionally
showing her process with her tablet in Photoshop. With the proper use of traditional and digital painting tools, Beckett gives us impressive portraits of female beauties. She knows how to capture the charm, fragility, mystery and feminine glamor under a childish spirit surrounded by natural environments.
Pat Perry When he does not spend time riding his old Honda motorcycle, exploring the Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA road, Pat Perry draws. Illustrated on paper using simply a pen, ink or acrylic. This young artist has no filter, he simply immerses us in an interesting fusion of styles: from urban elements, through the graffiti culture to the incorporation of surrealist and psychedelic forms in which prima the color. This surprising talent has attracted the attention of brands such as Urban Outfitters, Fearless Records and DesignKitchen, for which it has created attractive graphic campaigns. For Pat, nothing is random; he looks for innovation, adrenaline and creativity in his life. And he finds it. Every day he tries to wake up as soon as possible. Once he has gotten out of bed-a real feat-he dedicates to paint or draw. Depending on how productive the process continues for several hours, otherwise, he prefers to continue working at night still
immersed in his travels and his love for a bucolic nature.
