Our Beautiful Earth





Earth is so beautiful. We may not be sure of how other planets look like but there is one thing that we are certain of. Our earth is a place that mortals have a hard time of leaving. Many people are afraid to die. Many would wish for immortality. In fact, scientists are finding ways to prolong life or not to completely end it. Modern art like landscape painting is fine artist’s favourite art. It directly represents as how Earth appeal to human eyes.


It is not easy to let go of Earth. Despite slums and some danger zones, to humans Earth is simply a paradise that we embrace with all our might. If we can just hold up the piles of monstrous rocks as they erode from the mountains to put them back to their places, we will. But instead we would rather run or hide for our lives to be secured from disasters. What is the beauty of Earth without us? What is its use for if Earth would stand still without humanity? The least thing we want is to hand over this lovely planet of ours to new occupants that are far from being human. This is why, within all of us, is a basic instinct to protect our land as to how we all struggle to survive and continue living despite the odds. The clouds when we walk outside feels like just an inch above us. They just look like artworks for sale displayed in a gallery We color it with pink, baby blue or mint green and the beauty of the earth all of a sudden becomes a fantasy land. Sometimes at night, we feel like walking under the moonlight by the beach and see the waters sparkling like diamonds and when you look up the moon, you see yourself so lovely, so gentle, and so rich. It is just a shadow but it the vision you see is vivid and what a sight to behold! And yes, we know how lovely the earth is.


How blessed humanity is to be given a home so beautiful and so big. This explains why a child draws mountain, trees, flowers, clouds, and birds flying up across the moment they learn the use of pencil and paper. And as they grow old when this fascination is developed, they start creating their masterpieces like modern art landscape painting. The child, so innocent and pure, knows what beautiful and precious means.

Arts and their Origin





Arts differ based from their origin. Asian art is way
different from that of European’s. Both continents are known for their
brilliant arts. It is in Europe where the classic and collection of noble
creations were preserved and it is in Asia where exotic and highly cultural
pieces can be found. And in both are
great contemporary arts, as well.
Arts in Asia are rooted from different inspirations that are
based from varying subjects as that of culture, tradition, history, or
socio-political views. These are great contributing factors to individual’s
experiences and situations. The struggle of a race to progress or to overcome
challenges has a subliminal effect to every constituent of the nation most
especially as that of artists whose source of creativity originates from the
subconscious.
Arts like wall paintings are by-product of the creative
juices extracted from the subconscious emitted as feelings. This emotion when
applied to something via what we call talent or skill is what we call art. From
something raw, it is refined until this piece becomes a work of art. Just by looking at artworks, one can tell
where one piece comes from. American paintings can be very contemporary or if
not, their classic ones usually revolve around rural genre. Usually, it is
southern. We know it is American when we see a cowboy in his horse racing with
train amid a grassy vast land. This, obviously, is not a typical Asian art
where elephants and camels or panda are more expected as subjects than a horse
with a cowboy riding in it. You know it is Asian if you find lacquer or satins
silk as materials used rather than the typical oil and canvass. You know it is
Asian art if it is calligraphy, ceramics and tea pots and some other more
identifying marks. And we can tell which one is European no matter how
contemporary the work is. There is depth and sophistication that a piece
exudes. Why not? The world of art in
renaissance period is said to propagate in Europe first until it became
widespread globally. Renaissance was when art became so alive, contemporary,
and questioning.
And because arts like wall paintings differ from where they
come from, the expression of beauty or better yet the application of aesthetics
is different from one another. There is a generic beauty common to one’s place
of origin but then when blended with others coming from outside, then global
audience decides which among the many is the one.

Travel and Arts




Travelling is seeing beauty. They want to see the actual
picture of what inspires a beautiful wall painting. This is why people
make sure that they get the best place possible when they plan to go on
vacation. It is very seldom that one travels to see the mishaps the other place
has not unless one is up for charity work or on a mission. Other than that,
eyes are set to beauty only.

Many would feel disappointed that if during their travel they
spotted a place that disgusts them, moreso, if this place happens to be their
destination. Or if this is not the case, travellers, perhaps, over expected of
what to see which put their standard of beauty to unreasonable height
already. Simply put, in most cases,
people travel to be surrounded with eye-candies that for them are not up for
everyday treats. Whatever is in there to lure people to travel and to make the
travellers come back for more is an art. Contemporary art can be independent
from travel as a subject given that there are online sites that cater for this
alone and people need not even move from their seat just to have the affordable
art of expensive one they desire. But then travel as a subject is in no way
effective without tackling arts because we travel for beauty, comfort,
relaxation, or something that is strange to our eyes and these are all arts;
nothing more, nothing less.

With travel websites, people get introduced to arts more and
more because less is the chance that contemporary arts will be ignored when
travel is dealt. After all, the best thing to mention when one travels is all
about happiness, beauty, experience, and convenience. All these are arts. And
literally, the more arts will be dealt of when the travellers start talking
about souvenirs or memorabilia to bring back home for keepsake or as giveaways
to friends and families. It may not be landscape wall paintings to directly
represent the spot visited but miniatures will do like crafts or as simple as
pots hand-painted. And as for heavy fine arts like paintings, then better order
it online, hassle-free, baggage-free, and most of all stress-free. Just Google
and browse what to find. Let the mouse work and click on the desired art. Check
it out and you are as good as having the brilliant piece of affordable art in
your hand.
