ART

Who could imagine a world without ART? Art plays a very important role in making our lives rich.
Art stimulates different part of our brain with a wide range of emotions. It is a vehicle for  individual creativity and self-expression. Art can mean something different to every person.

Art is a broad topic and there is no universally accepted definition of ART., that it is impossible to go with a single definition. Traditionally the word ART was used to refer to any skill or mastery. It is derived from the latin word 'ars'.  Art is a global activity which encompasses a host of disciplines, for example - Fine Arts, Liberal Arts, Visual Arts, Decorative Arts, Applied Arts, Design, Crafts, Performing Arts, Culinary Arts, and so on.

Art exists in everyone of us in some form or other. It would not be wrong to say that ART is all about self-expression.It is a medium through which you can communicate your thoughts, feelings and emotions to others. This can help people who feel the same way, but cannot express themselves to relate to these feelings and emotions. It is so much a part of our life that we fail to stop and think about it.

Art is classified into many specific categories depending on the materials used,such as drawing, painting, sculpture, glass art, metal art, fine art photography, animation, collage, murals, etc. Painting can further be classified into watercolors, oils, acrylics; sculptures in wood, stone, bronze, etc. I intend to make people aware of what Art is as I understand it and try and help everyone find their personal preferences.


I want to recognise my mentor, the Late Mr K B Kulkarni for helping me develop my skills. I learned not only about Art from him, but also some important life lessons.  After years of learning every kind of Art from Oils, Watercolors, Pencils, Pastels, Acrylics, Mosaics, Glass, I have discovered that I can do my best at painting on glass.
Through my blog I intend to pass on my ideas to those who would like to learn or know more about  'Painting on Glass'.
