5th ARTstyleART Theme Announcement. MODERN + AFRICA. 25 STEEM + 15 SBD to GIVE AWAY
I want to thank all the participants of the previous contests. I am really impressed with your works and I want to invite you and new artists to explore more styles in art together not theoretically but practically.
This week we will haveModern + AFRICA. This was inspired mostly by Gauguin (in his case it was Tahiti).
Long time ago I made post about him. Unfortunately I couldn't scroll down to that post to give you a link. May be because of bad internet or other reasons. So, I will try to find this post and give you the link later as it was really interesting one.
When I just started to paint my teacher compared my first paintings with Paul Gauguin. I was soooo happy))). But she thought she insulted me as she was a supporter of only the realism school and all other schools were not accepted by her. But for me it was the best compliment ever.
Modern
The main point of this school is specific smooth forms, lack of depth. They exchanged light and shadow with colours. The representatives of this style showed their truth, they underlined what they thought was important. They considered it would be impossible to express it with just copying reality. The brightest representatives were Paul Gauguin, Gustav Klimt, Edward Munch, Michael Vrubel.
I also suggest the theme for your paintings: AFRICA! I visited Kenya in 2012 and would like to give you some photos for inspiration. It would be fantastic if you can use them for your paintings.
So, I invite you to take the idea of AFRICA and make it in MODERN style.
I bet it will be fantastic collection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

David, I can't wait to see! Thank you!
many thanks i posted another painting tonight
I'm going to paint
Super! I will add you to database
You can add me to the list if you want, excited to give this a try. I have selected one of your photos, when posting my results on other social media how would you like me to credit you?
as it ok to give a link to my post? if not, just use it)))
I can do that, was just thinking this is still a new platform that not a lot of people know about yet. Might be better to give them like a Facebook page or something.
Just take a photo)) that is ok
adding you! cool!
can i make my own version! like my idea of africa although i have not been there, more like a safari with humans living in harmony?
ok! but in modern style!
Hmm another challenging idea, now let me study modernism. thanks @aksinya, challenge accepted. i commit and hopefully finish on time!
))))))))) your entry will be fantastic! ask your daughter))
yes in times like these i might need to consult her on the subject. hehe
im excited and at the same time, my mind is till a blank canvas! lol
)))))))))))
Thanks again for throwing these shindigs. I am on Steemit chat now, yay!
