Favorite/least fav kind of art Options

[*salcha4u*]

I'd have to say watercolors as least favorite because they take so long and it's tedious. Oil pastels are my favorite because the colors are pretty and it always turns out nice at the end.

That modern art crap. Paint blots, ugh. All they do is splash paint on canvas and it's "art."

it's definately not just splashing paint on a canvas. you've still got to think about balance in colors, hot and cold. composition. so what if it's just paint splatters? a lot of people that paint like that actually use the colors and shapes to express an emotion or an event. i think it takes a lot more thought that just spelling it all out in a realistic rembrandt kind of thing. if you want to express anger you use hot reds, oranges. but if you're trying to explain an event like 9/11 it's a whole lot harder to do it abstract than it is to do it realistic. you could just paint the trade centers collapsing and smoke. but i saw a huge one today and was so cool. it had dark gray blotches to represent smoke and then bright orange planes. and he use big jagged lines and shapes to show rubble and remains of the buildings. it took me a second to realize that it was 9/11 but it was a whole lot more interesting that just a picture of the trade centers. anyway i think i've made my point.

as for answering the question, i like pop art. and my favorite medium is oil paints. don't like acrylics. but my least favorite is either pencil or watercolor. pencil can be done really cool but it's just not for me. i like charcoal though i lot. and chalks....goodness I DUNNO!!!
