Text to ex. 4 Lesson 59

TYPES OF ART

There are various types of art practiced by the people with extra talent. It is a common observation that people excelling in different kinds of art are supposed to be the gifted ones and their ability to put their thoughts through various art forms keeps them apart from the crowd. Passion and skill automatically come in mind with the art. Painting, writing, sculpting, acting and dancing are some of the popular types of art that are practiced by the people as hobby and profession as well.

All types of art have a wonderful history behind them. This history is actually the source that gives rise to present shape of art that we see today. Painting is one such art that dates back to the prehistoric times. Canvas used to be the walls of caves where people used to paint to communicate the hidden messages. Painting is much older than the discovery of languages. Some countries like China still use language that mostly consists of sign and shapes instead of words.

When the language came into existence, man started developing ma- nuscripts. Language became the mode to communicate thoughts. Writing books, poems and lectures are some of the ways to express thoughts. Writing is considered to be one of the most widespread methods to express thought. This belongs to the category of those types of art that are the prerogative of intellectuals. Again, writing needs talent and readers too. World is uni- maginable without books which are the product of a writer’s talent.

All types of art are incomplete without the audience. Art is a way to communicate and if the audience is not there, then that poses danger to the existence of art. Hence, art needs propagation to exist and flourish. All types of art need a platform. Exhibitions, cultural and dance shows, concerts and debates are some of the platforms that are helpful for artists to reach to the audience.

8. Listening

Listen to Ethel Smith who is talking about different types of art and name the contemporary types of art which are mentioned in the article.

There are so many forms and types of art. Music, poetry, garden, pho- tography, architecture and dance are all forms of art, but I shall assume that for the purpose of this article that we are referring to art such as paint- ings and sculptures.

These differ so much depending on the artist, period of time, material and style. Among the different styles of art are modern, traditional, pre- raphalite and neo-classical. Then there are naive paintings, ones using cu- bist or impressionist styles and many, many more.

Paintings may be on walls, canvas, paper or just about anything. Think back to those pictures, which you will have seen at school, that caveman painted on the walls of their caves. The medium used may be crayon, oils, pastels watercolours, inks, enamels or again anything really. Sculpture em- ploys a variety of styles, materials and sizes. The vast ‘Angel of the North’ in the North of England is a fine example of the diversity of sculpture these days.

Myself, I still enjoy pencil sketching when time allows and find it relax- ing. Art can be used well for relaxation, as well as decoration or for a pecu- niary use.

The beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder. There are no rules, and no rights or wrongs. If you look at something and deep down know that you honestly appreciate and like it, it is good art.

Advertising and installation art seems to be one of the biggest markets today. Installations can be seen at galleries and are usually large pieces of work, often a little strange and often involving the viewer participating. Advertisers are using more and more of their creative talents to sell prod- ucts. Some of their adverts become famous and this has always been so. Harry Hudson Rodmell was a famous artist who created many wonderful poster adverts, usually I think for various forms of transport.

The newest and final type of art I shall mention is computer art. Com- puter graphics are taking the world by storm. They are in the film business, advertising and coming to more traditional art works now. I guess this will be the art form of the 21st Century.
