Pastel Art

Pastel is an art medium in the form of a stick, consisting of pure powdered pigment and a binder. The pigments used in pastels are the same as those used to produce all colored art media, including oil paints; the binder is of a neutral hue and low saturation. Most pastels come in a variety of colours, the difference between chalk pastels and oil pastels are:

Chalk Pastels are chalk based mediums, more of a powdery substance, displaying different and a variety of colors. Chalk pastels are generally dusty just like a piece of chalk. they very easy to work with in the sense, mixing two colors together. They however require a carefullness,otherwise the painting will simply dust off.

Oil Pastels are oil based mediums, more of a oily substance compressed into a solid. Like the chalk pastel it also come in a variety of colours.

    Oil pastels are similar to wax crayons, but are
    softer, and also due to the binder can result in                  
    the effect of an oil painting, they are less   
    dusty and are convenient for carrying.

    Pastel techniques can be challenging since the medium
is mixed and blended directly on the working surface, and unlike paint, colors cannot be tested on a palette before applying to the surface. Pastel errors cannot be covered the way a paint error can be painted out.

ART: Phenomenon of Graffiti art

 

       It is on the walls of buildings; it paints towns, and surfaces on trains; graffiti is one form of art that has been around for thousands of years.  To some, it is a form of  art that should be displayed in galleries and exhibitions and to others its merely vandalism. However, Graffiti could be catagorized in both catagories. its an art when its is spray painted  on public buildings for everyone to admire and enjoy. on the alternative, its considered a vandalism when painted on private homes without premission of the  property owner. it could lower a property balue and it could be very expensive to clean up, if a graffiti arist gets caugh vandalizing a propery he could get arrested and is expected to pay a fyne to get the surface cleaned.  inexpert bypasser might look at spray painted wall and might look at spray painted surface and might identifiey it as just "graffiti."  there are many types of graffiti art: one example is wild sytle graffiti   is a name given to graffiti done with aerosol spray paint that is abstract or hard to read. It is a style of graffiti that is wild , basically. Graffiti is about the letter forms, transforming each letter and the word to make it flow a certain style.
