Journey into the Fascinating World of Abstract Art: Dance of Colors and Masterpieces of Geometry

HISTORY OF ABSTRACT

    The history of abstract art emerged from the mesmerizing combination of colors and geometry! The emergence of abstract art was made possible by the creativity of bold artists who pushed the boundaries of traditional painting. These artists created a new form of art using colors and geometric shapes that could replace figurative paintings. Initially criticized, this art form was eventually accepted and abstract paintings became some of the most beloved works of art in the world. These works create an environment where emotions and thoughts can be freely expressed, transporting people to a completely different world.

    The history of abstract art dates back to the early 20th century. During this period, many artists began to rediscover the art of painting and attempted to merge different art forms. Instead of classical painting techniques, the use of colors and geometric shapes stood out in abstract paintings. Russian avant-garde artists can be considered pioneers of abstract art. Kazimir Malevich paved the way for abstract paintings with his work "Black Square" created in 1915, which showed a simple black square drawn on a canvas. With this work, Malevich completely overturned the traditional understanding of painting.

    In later years, many different artists became interested in abstract painting and developed their own styles. Swiss artist Paul Klee created unique abstract paintings by using colors and lines. American artist Jackson Pollock created abstract paintings using a technique called "drip painting".

    Today, abstract art is still considered a popular art form in the world of art. Art lovers can immerse themselves in this colorful world and express their emotions and thoughts freely.

FEATURES OF ABSTRACT ART

    The characteristics of abstract art are quite interesting and diverse. Firstly, abstract art expresses abstract concepts instead of depicting concrete objects. These concepts are found in color, form, line, and texture. Another feature of abstract art is that it can evoke emotional responses in the viewer. The use of colors and the arrangement of composition can elicit different emotional responses from viewers. Abstract art also helps to increase the viewer's interaction with the artwork. This strengthens the viewer's connection with the painting and makes the artwork more meaningful.

    Abstract paintings are also important in allowing artists to express themselves freely. Artists can create unique and interesting works using their imagination without being bound to concrete objects.

BASIC ELEMENTS OF ABSTRACT ART

    The basic elements are quite interesting, and perhaps the most important of these elements is geometry. Geometric shapes are essential in abstract art. In addition, colors have great significance in abstract art. Different combinations of colors can change the atmosphere and mood of the painting. Another important element is line, which determines the movement and rhythm of the painting through different types and directions of lines.

    Another characteristic of the basic elements of abstract art is that artists create their own unique style. Each artist has their own approach and style. Some artists use intense colors while others adopt a minimalist approach. Some emphasize line and geometry while others exhibit a more free-form approach.

    After learning about the basic elements of abstract art, you can recognize and understand them better when you see an abstract painting. Additionally, you can more easily distinguish the styles and approaches of different abstract artists.

    There are different subcategories among different types of abstract art, such as geometric abstraction, amorphous abstraction, and nature abstraction. Geometric abstraction focuses on the use of shapes and geometric forms, often utilizing geometric shapes such as rectangles, circles, triangles, and ellipses. Amorphous abstraction, on the other hand, prefers organic, undefined, and fluid forms over geometric ones. Nature abstraction involves abstracting and reflecting natural forms, such as transferring the colors of a landscape onto a canvas or creating an abstract representation of a specific natural form.

SURE, I CAN CREATE AN ABSTRACT PAINTING NOW

    Come on, let's download the Sketchbook app on your phone and create an abstract drawing together! My phone is an iPhone 11, and I downloaded the app from the App Store. Speaking of the extra advantages offered by the iPhone 11 when drawing, the Apple Pencil support is really great. I once borrowed a friend's Apple Pencil who had an iPad Pro and tried it on my iPhone 11. My drawings become much more precise and accurate, and sometimes I can even feel like I'm drawing with my finger. The screen resolution is also high, making it ideal for creating detailed drawings. The colors are also really vibrant and realistic, and I can even transfer colors from photos to my brushes in the app. Additionally, I can easily synchronize my drawings with my other Apple devices, making editing and sharing my drawings much easier. If you're an Android user, don't worry, you can also download Sketchbook from Google Play and have a similar experience!

    The Sketchbook application has a user-friendly interface. When you open the application, you are presented with a blank page and you can learn about your brushes and sizes by experimenting with the menu on the left side. I also downloaded it again and it opened without any problems. I did a little test and you can try it too. Have a good work!
