For the purposes of this article an art exhibition is defined by any event an independent artist or craftsman can display their work. This can cover a wide base of events that can be participated within.
A more traditional art exhibition can be focused more on public relations and networking. Likewise it can also be targeting sales.
Artistic meaning can be applied broadly through a general definition. It essentially means an individual has an artistic capacity to create something with their hands and mind.
Knotted wood is a piece of lumber which had a branch grow from that section of the tree. The wood grain will grow around the branch, turning almost at times by 90 degrees.
Public relations for art is focused around platforms for artists which allow them to reach the public. This is a separate concept from marketing art.
How a self representing artist builds public relations is critical to their success. Local foundations can allow a broader outreach to communities beyond your borders.
Knowing how to build an art portfolio is critical for any artist. The reasons why they are needed range from art school applications, to art gallery representation, and beyond.
I wish to give you an inside look on how to actually build and use an art portfolio for the real world. In other words, it should be working for you to benefit your life.
A Marking Knife is used to create small lines within wood. The lines are typically created by light scratches or cuts into the grain.
Normally the Marking Knife is used for cross grain marking but can be used in other ways. Many prefer a scratch awl for marking when going with the grain.
The Principles Of Art are rhythm, balance, emphasis, proportion, gradation, harmony, variety, and movement. Each of these play a critical role within the composition of art.
Harmony In Art specifically concerns itself with how the formal elements of art are used. The principle of Harmony is easier to explain than Unity In Art as it is more quantifiable.
For the purposes of this article I am speaking of a wood carving kit as a set of tools used for the purpose of fine wood carving in art, lines, relief carving or “sculpting”.
With some products found online, stencils, wood pieces, or other arrangements of items can be packaged with the tools.
