The Perception of Art

 The first and foremost thing people misunderstand about art is when they think that one thing is art, and the other thing isn't. Let me clear away that misconception for you.

A five-year-old blissfully scribbling away a doodle on a piece of paper, and a master artist painstakingly making a detailed portrait are both examples of art, and some people might be tended to put away the toddler's drawing as something that shouldn't be paid attention to (except parents who would stick it to the refrigerator), according to me show a wonderful sort of insight about various things. But people usually pay attention to the works of an adult, which is why so many paintings from famous artists have so much market value. 

Art is expression. 

There is no set definition to it. It is an expression done by the conscious mind, and therefore any such expression is to be considered art. One of my cousin-sisters made a tiny bookmark for me; It has an orange rabbit drawn by pencil holding an even more orange-colored carrot. I keep it in one of my Charles Dickens novels. That is an example of art, and so is The Starry Night by Van Gogh. By no means am I comparing the two, however, what I mean to say is that expression has tons of different ways to be shown, and each one means an entirely different thing to each person. 

A Fantasy Mushroom Land

Happy Friendship Day! It is after a long period of time that I picked up my pencil colors and carved out a scenic illustration that would be fit for a children's storybook, like one of Enid Blyton's tales or Lewis Caroll's sceneries. The doors in this one are inspired by Tolkien's doors in the quaint and lovely Shire, while the enormously towering and vibrant mushrooms are a product of my own wild imagination.

Flying Fish

Who said fish can't fly?! 

*cough*glide*cough*

Anne of Green Gables

 This is a stylized illustration done in brush-pens. Anne of Green Gables is a spirited, imaginative girl. I read the book last year, and loved the story Lucy Maud Montgomery weaved. It is considered a Classic Children's Novel. 

Billam the Cat

This is a sketch of Billam the Cat, a domestic grey tabby.

Creativity is Intelligence having Fun!

I recently read a thought of Einstein's. I felt that it was nice, so I doodled it away! Einstein really looks like a jolly, amiable old fellow. 

Merida from Brave

Merida is one princess I can identify with. She is courageous and does not fear to say her mind. I like her personality a lot so I sketched her according to my imagination because she has unrealistic proportions in the movie. I wanted to make her look realistic, so enjoy! 

PS- She also turned her mum into a bear. Good idea !

Indus valley poster

The Indus Valley Civilization

The Indus valley civilization was an early civilization with great drainage systems and wonderful craftsmen. They had a script of various different symbols which, till date, nobody has deciphered. I sure wish they do it quickly. Who knows, some one might've written an ancient story? This is a poster I made for my class . Have fun !

My Jungle Safari 

Hi everybody! This is my watercolour painting which was selected for the second round of an art competition. I made this drawing because I think that tigers are very courageous and majestic. In India, there are many tiger reserves but the tiger population is sadly, fast depleting. I like tigers and  maybe we can save them before its too late.

 An Evening Sun in Mongolia

This is the sun I watch from my home and this is the same sun I have made in this painting which is of Mongolia's fame, the Govi desert, not to be confused with the gobi ki sabji that mom so loving makes in the kitchen. 
The desert is not the conventional one, having less sand and more of rocks, boulders and pebbles. I went there when I was small. Here is my painting.

The girl Child

The Girl Child : A Tender bud

Little girls of the ages of 6 and below are a joy to see. They prance around, in their cute frocks and ponies all the while singing sweet rhymes and making the person with them so happy that for a while he/she can forget everything else and just listen to their enchanting chatter.
Now-a-days, the scenario is not so good for girls. I think I understated, and maybe I should mean quite bad. The crimes against women and girls of all ages are increasing day by day.
Such crimes such as rape, sexual harassment and molesting are a crisis, a problem that keeps coming again and again. The perverted  people who commit such disgusted and heinous acts should be punished severely. 

But look at the positive side! The government is trying its best to stop the crimes, some girls have made themselves powerful and strong and we all want our country to be a better place. 

Friends, here I have made a sketch about girls -

Nature  Scenery 

Hey Everybody ! This is my oil pastel drawing of an imaginary place I cooked up. 
Did you know ? Whenever you go to a much more greener place than the cities you live in, your eyes begin to relax. This is because our eyes have evolved like that. So go on , 
                     Enjoy the greenery that I have brought for you !

The Tree Frog

The tree frog is a magnificent species of frog that spends its major part of life in trees, thus its name.It is native to the eastern United States. 

Its biological name is Agalychnis callidryas.  These amphibians are arboreal, meaning they spend a lot of time hiding in the trees. The frogs live in tropical lowlands in Central America and northern South America, and though one might think that its bright red eyes and blue and yellow markings would put the amphibian in danger, the crafty frog actually uses its flashy colors to its advantage.They have no problem in scaling trees and leaves, and look Beautiful. 

I have made a drawing of a tree frog. I hope you like it.
