Ways to Stir Up A Passion and Appreciation for Art

November 20, 2015 by DailyBits

There is no secret that some are better equipped to be able to draw, paint or sculpt something in a striking likeness to whatever it is they are trying to emulate, while others can hardly draw out a straight or curved line.

Science explains that there are three different categories that essentially separate those who can from those who can not when it comes to drawing or anything related to in the visual arts. It all comes down to how a person perceives reality, how well they remember that reality, and how exactly they long to communicate that in the physical form.

Ever heard of Kumi Yamashita? Before discovering his shadow art work today, I had never heard of this name, but this is a worthwhile discovery.

Incredible, Unique Jack O’ Lanterns

I can’t express how bad I am at carving pumpkins. I still struggle to cut triangle eyes, I never seem get those right. I blame my underdeveloped motor skills and my mom for dropping me when I was a child. When I see amazing intricately designed pumpkins, I am overcome with jealous rage. I see red and my mind goes blank. When I finally come-to the room is in shambles, my neighbors have made the 911 call and the police are already kicking down the door. Even if you do end up punching a hole through your monitor (which is NOT going to make you any better at carving pumpkins so I’ve learned), these Incredible Unique Jack O’ Lanterns are definitely worth a look.

3D street art is not a new trend. It has been popular for many years, with photos and images spreading on the Internet like wildfire. The history of 3D street art actually goes back to as early as the 16th century. Of course, they did not have the Internet to spread the word, but the amazing art already caught the attention of the people back then.

I just came across a nice little collection of art over at Toxel ((Toxel – Street Art)), and I think that these will make your day. [Read more…] about 3D Street Art That Will Make You Go WOW!
