Freezing Art

A form of art that has always baffled me is that of ice sculpting. The intricate details that some incredibly skilled sculptors are able to create are breathtaking. Not only are these artist challenged with working with easily crackable ice, they must also deal with less then perfect working conditions. In order to prevent melting or cracking these artist spend hours at a time in below freezing temperatures. The creations that result despite these difficult working conditions are nothing short of amazing.

Music

Music is my favorite art form. As I might have mentioned before I play the bass guitar and frequently write my own music and songs. Music is universal. It is apart of every culture worldwide. It is also a form of art that is more easily shared with others. Thus music allows the artist to reach and identify with more of their audience then say a painter could. Music is always changing as well are peoples taste in music but one thing is certain, as long as people exist music will continue to thrive.

Comic Book Art

Many people don't realize the skill that it takes to create the images in the comic book section of the bookstore. Although comics are not traditionally recognized as art, when you look at the skill and detail that goes into these books you may change your mind. For decades Marvel comics has been producing original stories and characters. Today, many of these famous comics are being adapted for the big screen. Talented comic artists are being hired to draw and create the story boards for these multi- million dollar films. Behind, the actors, producers, and directors are the artist that draw and create the visual concepts for these films.

Poetry

As I writer I appreciate lots of different genres and types of literature. However, when it comes to written works the most debated is probably poetry. Many people doubt it's worth and viability with our modern language and dialects. I know when I was in English class as a middle school student poetry was by far my least favorite portion of our curriculum. As I began to get deeper into poetry I found that my opinion began to change. There are many poems and works that are no less than excellent creations. Edgar Allan Poe is one of my favorite writers of all time. Having said this there are poems that I also think are tedious and boring. Poetry is literature's version of the abstract painting. One person can read it and have a revelation while another may see it as meaningless rambling.

Tattoos as art.

They don't call them tattoo "artists" for nothing. Tattooing has been around for centuries. However, today's tattoo's are more artistic and intricate then there predecessors. Tattoo artist take the human skin and transform it into a canvas. The permanency of ink in the skin also helps to add the the meaning of the piece. Tattooing is a difficult form of art to practice and requires a skilled and steady hand. Although many in the corporate world look at tattooing as a bad sign, I believe that it is unfair to judge someone in this way. Tattoo's are just another form of expression. You wouldn't look
down at someone for painting or writing a book would you?
