| Portrait little girl Pencil Sketch |
Pencil / Charcoal / Chalk Ordinary lead pencils are made of graphite mixed with variable amounts of clay according to the degree of hardness required, with the softest varieties containing little or no clay. The paper texture must be coarse so that it 'files' down the pencil. Charcoal, due to its crumbly nature, can be used either for wispy strokes or shading, and is good for creating strong dark lines - the drawback with charcoal is that it smudges and tends to break easily. Chalk is usually used for shading. |
| Pastel landscape painting |
Pastel Pastels are normally sold in three grades: soft, medium and hard. The soft is universally used, the other two mainly for special effects. The soft texture of pastels allows them to be easily manipulated. One of the charms of the finished drawing is its texture, as manipulations of the crayons produce a varied effect: thin or thick, smooth or rough, level or impasto. |
Ink Ink has been used for many centuries in the Far East, and used to be sold in sticks that were rubbed with water in shallow mortars. Modern ink is sold in liquid form, either soluble or waterproof; the former is more suited to fine lines and delicate manipulations and effects, and coloured ink can be applied to wet paper to produce magnificent spreading effects. |
| Artist Ho Hoang Dai's paingting Collage art |
Collage Collage became recognised as a serious art form in the early twentieth century. The term is derived from a nineteenth century craft called 'papiers collés' in which a variety of found objects including fabric, newspapers and cardboard are adhered to a flat surface to create a work of art. Decoupage refers to the pasting of cutouts all-over a surface rather than the use of cutouts as individual shapes or patterns in a design. |

| Spongebob- Graffiti art found in Hasselt (Belgium) artist Hertkore |
Graffiti Art Originally used as a form of advertisement, political campaigns, and love declarations in the streets of Pompeii in A.D. 79, it grew in popularity after the 1960's in Philadelphia and New York. Graffiti quickly spread to Europe in the 1980's through the Hip Hop culture. Towards the end of the 20th century, this form of creation aimed at self-expression and creativity. It become a type of public art, a way of communicating to the surrounding society. Today, it has become a mainstream form of art ranging from inscriptions to figure drawings, expanding in calligraphic styles and visual effects. |
Laquer Lacquer is made from a natural substance obtained from the sap of a Lacquer tree. The sap is used as a clear or coloured varnish in pottery and painting which produces a hard durable finish when dry; this type of finish is referred to as 'Lacquer'. Used in many East Asian cultures, lacquer has slightly different methods of application and varying results. For example lacquer yielding trees in Vietnam are slightly different, and though the finish is similar, the sap produces a slightly softer finish than the Chinese or Japanese lacquer. Therefore you will often find the thousand year old Chinese technique of lacquer has been mainly used for decoration and preservation, while lacquer paintings are the preserve of Vietnamese artists. Popular in Vietnam, many artists using lacquer painting utilise a range of multiple layers of lacquer, colours, eggshells, gold and silver leaves to express texture, light and colours within their paintings. |
| Extra ordinary digital art work |
Digital Art The term 'Digital Art' encompasses three different categories: - Digitally produced reproduction of an artwork already existing in another form, for example a painting. - Work produced to be viewed via digital means, which cannot be easily 'owned', such as web-art. - Work produced digitally, or using a computer as a tool in the process, which results in a work existing outside of the computer - perhaps in the form of a lambda or giclee print, so that this digitally produced print can be considered to be an 'original'. Work in this category may also exist in the form of a video, or more recently, a DVD. Such videos and DVDs will often be sold in limited editions, as with prints. At The Affordable Art Fair, work in the first category is not accepted, as it is not considered to be an original work of art. Work in the second category tends not to be for sale, but is instead freely accessible to experience, but not to own, via the internet.Works in the final category are sold at The Affordable Art Fair, subject to their being produced under the same strictly limited editions as conventional prints. In other words, when a print's edition has been fully run, the artist must not produce any further prints in the series. |
