Styles of Art

Artists used many styles in their paintings and drawings. Here are some of the more common styles of art.

Abstract  
Abstract artists felt that paintings did not have to show only things that were recognizable. In their paintings they did not try to show people, animals, or places exactly as they appeared in the real world. They mainly used color and shape in their paintings to show emotions. Some Abstract art is also called Non-objective art. In non-objective art, you do not see specific objects. It is not painted to look like something specific.  Artists: Sonia Delaunay, Jackson Pollock


Cubism  
Cubism is modern art made up mostly of paintings. The paintings are not supposed to look real The artist uses geometric shapes to show what he is trying to paint. Early cubists used mainly grays, browns, greens, and yellows. After 1914, Cubists started to use brighter colors. Cubism was the beginning of the Abstract and Non-objective art styles.  Artists: Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Georges Braque

Expressionism  
In Expressionist Art, the artist tries to express certain feelings about some thing. The artists that painted in this style were more concerned with having their paintings express a feeling than in making the painting look exactly like what they were painting.  Artists: Marc Chagall , Wassily Kandinsky, Ludwig Kirchner

Fauvism  
Fauvism was an art style that lasted only four years, beginning in 1905. The leader of this movement was Henri Matisse. The word Fauvism is french for "wild beasts". It got this name because the paintings had bright and unusual colors. The subjects in the paintings were shown in a simple way, and the colors and patterns were bright and wild.  Artist: Henri Matisse 

Impressionism 
Impressionism was developed in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These pieces of art were painted as if someone just took a quick look at the subject of the painting. The paintings were usually in bold colors and did not have a lot of detail. The paintings in this style were usually outdoor scenes like landscapes. The pictures were painted to look like they were shimmering.  Artists: Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissaro

Pointillism 
In Pointillism, the artist uses small dots or strokes of paint to make up the pictures. From far away, these dots blend together to form the picture and give the impression of different colors as they blend together.  Artists: Paul Seurat, Paul Signac

Pop Art 
Pop art can be any every day item that is drawn in a brash and colorful way. Pop Art is short for Popular Art. It is inspired by comic strips, advertising, and popular entertainment.  Artists: Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenberg, David Hockney

Postimpressionism  
Postimpressionism began in the 19th century. It was mainly still lifes and landscapes. The postimpressionists liked to use lots of colors and shadows.  Artists: Vincent Van Gogh,Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cezanne

Primitivism
Primitive Art looks like art that is done by a child. Usually the picture is painted very simply, and the subjects are "flat", or two-dimensional.  Artists: Paul Klee, Henri Matisse

Realism 
Realism is a type of art that shows things exactly as they appear in life. It began in the 18th century, but the greatest Realist era was in the mid-19th century. Most Realists were from France, but there were some famous American painters who were Realists also.  Artists: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Leonardo Da Vinci, Gustave Courbet, Honore Daumier, Thomas Eakins, John Singleton Copley

Surrealism  
Surrealists paintings were generally based on dreams. Their paintings were filled with familiar objects which were painted to look strange or mysterious. They hoped their odd paintings would make people look at things in a different way and change the way they felt about things. They thought that their paintings might stir up feelings in the back of peoples minds. Artists: Salvador Dali, Henri Rousseau, Max Ernst

So what are the hallmarks of personal style?

1. Comfort

It starts with the clothes you feel comfortable in. Do you have one perfect pair of pants? A dress you always wear? And are you more at ease in neutrals than vivid colors? Narrow it down and don't feel guilty that you are 'boring' if beige and grey feels good to you. If clothes don't make you feel good, you''ll constantly feel insecure -- and that is as obvious to onlookers as a torn hem.

It's about neutral colors, sweaters with shape but not cling, crisp white shirts, and tailored pants or pencil skirts. When you've figured out a few of yours (Dresses with boots? Tailored jackets with jeans?), bring a critical eye to these favorites and make sure they fit as well as they can. (Get a friend to give input). Then, look for similar shapes or get a tailor to make copies. It's the best investment you can make. And suddenly, you have the core of a wardrobe that works.

2. Personality

Great personal style synchs up with your persona rather than fights it. I am petite and quite modest, so I don't make outrageous statements with fashion or show off my body that much. I communicate my personality with small touches: a great shoe and a great bag. You might be the opposite. Think about the woman you are and consider if your clothes tell that story.

3. Consistency

Some style icons often used just a few pieces over and over (think Jackie O's trench coat, sunglasses, and beautifully fitted T-shirts with slim pants). Stick with a focused selection of clothes that look and feel great, experiment with accessories for fun, and refine the fit, color, and texture from season to season. Not only is this cheaper than buying a whole new wardrobe each spring, it's much more genuine. It's about telling the world who you are, rather than letting fashion dictate to you.


What do you think makes for memorable personal style? I'd love to hear.

Here are some Coping Strategies, u can share yours...

Active Solitude
This first type of coping is called active solitude.  What this means is that when you feel lonely you have a tendency to engage yourself in active behaviors, like writing or reading, etc.  These kinds of behaviors are generally believed to be healthy behaviors, since they tend to pull your mind away from the loneliness and direct your energies to something positive or creative.  It is also generally believed that people who engage in active solitude tend to be individuals who suffer more from state loneliness than trait loneliness.  That means that you are probably lonely because of some situation you presently find yourself in (like moving to a new area) and if the situation were to change you would probably feel a lot better.  Your friends probably won't describe you as a very lonely person.  Therefore active solitude is a good way in trying to deal with loneliness, especially if it is a situation  you can't escape.

Spending Money
The second type of coping is called spending money.  In general, it is thought that spending money can have some beneficial effects, because it gets you out of the house (assuming that you shop offline, in malls and shops) and meeting new people.  But if your spending money doesn't cause you to get out the house and meet new people, then it probably isn't such of a good thing.  The researchers studying this type of coping were a bit ambivalent as to whether this is a good or bad coping strategy.  In any case, if you are spending money you don't have for things that you don't need, then this type of reaction to loneliness can prove to be extremely unhealthy.  You should consider buying things that will cause you to be social with other people.  The important thing is, when you feel lonely, get up, get out the house, got out to the malls, see what they have, and just look around without spending too much.  Perhaps you can leave your credit cards and money at home, so that you will be forced not to spend anything.  And carry a friend with you and see the sites together.

Social Contact
This third type of coping to loneliness is called social contact.  In general, it entails trying to call a friend, going to visit someone or trying to establish some kind of social contact when you have feelings of loneliness.  The researchers thought that social contact may be a good way of dealing with loneliness.  In general though, you should not be burdening your friends with constant calls for social contact.  But if you have friends to talk to, and yet you still feel lonely, you should stop and ask yourself, why?  Maybe the relationships you have aren't as fulfilling as you'd like them to be.  Maybe you need to go out there and make some new friends who can satisfy the need for a deeper relationship.  Maybe you should take one of your present relationships to a deeper level.  Something to think about.

Sad Passivity
Out of all the types of coping strategies to loneliness, this is the most looked down upon.  But don't despair.  Sad passivity means that you are involving yourself in types of behaviors that amplify your loneliness instead of relieving it.  These behaviors include such things as watching TV, sleeping, eating, taking tranquilizers (or alcohol, etc), sitting and thinking and doing nothing.  By engaging in these types of behaviors it only makes your situation worse, and the loneliness only pains you more sometimes.  But you probably feel powerless to do anything to change your situation.  You have to make a conscious decision to stop this sad passivity and move onto something more positive.  Take it one step at a time, find a new hobby, go out and join a new club, pick up exercising, find something useful to do with your time, something that will make you a better person.  Find someone to talk to about your loneliness.  It's okay to feel lonely, but it's not okay to keep feeling lonely all the time. 


It's time to move up and move on!

Coping With Loneliness
by Cathleen Henning Fenton


Accepting it and moving on when the time is right
Loneliness may be painful and even frightening, and it may indicate a need for introspection. Have you been feeling lonely for a long time? Perhaps it's time to make some changes; it is possible to feel less alone. Loneliness is not a sign that you have failed or that you will never have people in your life. It may take effort to change the way you feel, but you can do it. Here are several suggestions for learning about your loneliness:

1. Accept it.

There are many steps you may take to help yourself feel less alone, but before you take those steps, stop and think about how you are feeling. Loneliness is an emotion, and, as with other uncomfortable emotions, we often want to get rid of it as soon as possible. Sometimes, though, these kinds of emotions may be learning tools.

Before rushing to eliminate loneliness, think about how you came to feel this way. Changes are most likely in order, but think about the changes that will suit your individual needs.
Sometimes, too, no change will eliminate loneliness. People may feel lonely even when surrounded by loving friends and family. Time may be the only solution. You are not flawed for feeling lonely, and, if you accept the feeling, you will find that it is not as uncomfortable as you first thought.

Remember, too, that being alone and feeling lonely are not the same. If you are alone these days but enjoying it, then don't feel as if you must change because other people don't understand. Do, however, be sure that you have a support system and that you are available to friends and family.

2. Reach out.

If you had people to contact, you may be thinking, then you wouldn't be lonely. Sometimes, though, when we are immersed in loneliness, we may forget about all of our options.

First, think about everyone you know and have ever known. Maybe you think a certain friend or relative wouldn't want to hear from you. Think again -- you may be surprised. Try contacting them and see what happens next. Be sure, however, to have a list of possible contacts, just in case the first doesn't go as planned. Think of old friends, too. You don't even have to tell them you're contacting them because you're lonely. Just reach out and communicate, and you'll start to feel better.

Second, if you truly believe friends and family aren't an option, then reach out to people you don't know. You're already on the Internet, and your options here are endless -- from chat rooms to forums to games to pen pals.

3. Help someone else.

A great way to spend time with people and feel good about your contribution to the world is by volunteering. If your anxiety disorder is keeping you from volunteering in a traditional way, use your imagination. Even going to an online forum and giving support to someone else who is lonely is a significant way to help. If you are ready to volunteer outside your home, look to places that will be anxiety-friendly: churches, hospitals, daycare or pre-schools, and nursing homes, are some examples.

4. Pursue your interests.

Meet people who like to do what you like to do by becoming involved in your hobbies and interests. If you already have a hobby that tends to be solitary, such as needlework, look for local classes or groups where you may meet other people as well as learn more about your craft. If you've thought about an interest for a long time but have never followed through, consider starting now. Look at your local newspaper for classes, groups and meetings, if you need ideas. Take a nature walk. Attend a lecture at a local museum. Take a cooking class. If you're not sure what your interests are, just start participating until you find what you love.

5. Join -- or start -- a support group.

Look around for an anxiety disorder support group. Ask your therapist, check the local newspaper, and contact local hospitals. If there aren't any for anxiety, try a depression or 12-step group. Consider starting your own support group if you can't find one; you'll be helping yourself and other people. If you need a place to have meetings, contact local churches which often have space.

If you're not sure how to cope with your loneliness and you feel that it's making you depressed, talk to your therapist about it (or get a therapist if you don't have one). Talking about it may help you explore other issues or come up with unique ways to cope with your individual feelings.

Dire sa Sweden..ang laki ug baye parehas ra sila pwede maoy moingon or mocourt without being mis interpreted as igat.

Mao raniy ila iingon permero " Do I have a chance with you??" kon moingon gani ang laki or baye nga yes. pasabot na ok kana mosugod panguyab. ha..ha..
