Art!

Laddo

I am very passionate about art and was just wondering if there were any other art lovers out there? Who are your favourite artists and why? Do you do any art yourself? I'd love to know more about all you arty people!

Personally, I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. It has always been amazingly therapeutic for me - it feels as if all the stress, frustration and tension in me flows out through the pencil/pen and leaves me feeling refreshed. The problem is, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and always reject my own work after a while. Anyone got any tips to reduce this trait a bit? One of my favourite artists is Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz fame - I aspire to develop a style like his someday but I just can't seem to break out of my current (lack of) style at the moment!

  • I enjoy art, and looking at other artists' work.  The realistic paintings are amazing when an artist has so much skill to make it look like a photograph.  

    I like surreal art like Salvador Dali because there's a lot to see that is hidden in his paintings.  

    I like to draw with black ink in a more abstract way but often based on things from nature.  

    Like other people have said, art seems to be good for stress when I am concentrating on drawing something in detail.
