Abstract

This form of art uses visual langusge of form, colour and line to create a composition which may exist  with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art.

This departure from accurate representation can be only slight, or it can be partial, or it can be complete. Abstraction exists along a continuum. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable and one is unlikely to find references to naturalistic entities.

   

psychedelic art

this is any kind of art work inspired by psychedelic experiences; an experience characterized by  the perception of aspects of one's mind usually unavailable to ordinary waking consciousness, or by the creative exuberance of the mind liberated from its ordinary restraints.

it is usually induced by drugs that alter cognition and perception. Psychedelic Art is informed by the notion that altered states of consciousness produced by psychedelic drugs are a source of artistic inspiration.

    

Resist dyeing

Resist dyeing is a technique of  dyeing textiles with patterns. Methods are used to "resist" or prevent the dye from reaching all the cloth, thereby creating a pattern and ground. The most common forms use wax, some type of paste, or a mechanical resist that manipulates the cloth such as tying or stitching. Another form of resist involves using a chemical agent in a specific type of dye that will repel another type of dye printed over the top. The most well-known varieties today include tie-dye and Batik.

Tie-dyeing became fashionable in the West in the late 1960s and early 1970s as part of hippie style. it was popularized in the united states by musicians such as John Sebastian, janice Joplin, The Grateful Dead and Joe Crocker.

   

Mosaic

The art of of creating images with an assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other colored material. This art is viewed in my opinion, as one of the most beautiful and creative forms of art. Mosaic is the decorative art of creating pictures and patterns on a surface by setting small pieces of coloured glass, marble or other materials in a bed of cement, plaster or other adhesives.

Mosaics were developed extensively by craftsmen, mostly in the form of pavements. later, during the era of  Byzantine art, artists specialized in creating mosaic design for walls and were reknowned for their shimmering masterpieces of gold and multi-coloured glass.

                 

       

African art

African art constitutes one of the most diverse legacies on earth. Though many casual observers tend to generalize "traditional" African art, the continent is full of people, societies, and civilizations, each with a unique visual special culture. The definition also includes the art of the African Diasporas, such as the art of African Americans. Despite this diversity, there are some unifying artistic themes when considering the totality of the visual culture from the continent of Africa.

Traditional art describes the most popular and studied forms of African art which are typically found in museum collections. Africa is also home to a great and thriving contemporary art culture. This has been sadly understudied until recently, due to scholars' and art collectors' emphasis on traditional art.

       

Outrageous fashion

Fashion is constantly evolving. this seems like a good sign initially, but with the recent trends that grace the cover of magazines or the body of celebrities, one begins to think otherwise!. in the olden days, fashion used to accompany a sense of decency and style. recently, anything from a fishnet to a meat costume could pass for fashionable!!!.

Pls feed your eyes!!!

       

Shakespeare

William Shakespeare, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.  His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Many of his plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime.

Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the 19th century.  His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the 16th century. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the English language.
