Today it's the lovely ^SylwiaTelari, your Community Volunteer for Traditional Art

:iconSylwiaTelari:
Hi ^SylwiaTelari, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
I'm a creation addict... and my name is Sylwia (: My personality and interests are clearly visible in what and how I do; a bit twisted, with a creepy shell, sometimes rigid, but I tend to hide a smile in details that require your search.
I'm crazy about trying new things and techniques and what you can see in my dA gallery is just a tip of an iceberg.
What is it that attracts you to Traditional Art?
It's traditional (: Anything I do has a connection to the past and it gives me a chill when I think that some of the techni

Today it's the adorable ^pica-ae, your Community Volunteer for Text & Typography
:iconpica-ae:
Hi ^pica-ae, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
- Hi! I am a web designer form Hamburg, Germany. In my spare time I have always enjoyed doing any kind of art. When I was smaller I started with Watercolors and moved on to Oil, before I went to design school and focused mostly on digital art.
My style… I am not sure I found it yet. Well, I am always looking for it, tho! I see finding one's style as a constant struggle. In my works you can find lots of bright colors, very often things are kept simple, minimal maybe in content or simple in composition. Mostly I try to keep away from

As part of Traditional Art History Month I will be interviewing some of the Traditional Art Community, including your lovely TradART Community Volunteers

Today it's the talented ^kiwi-pdd, Community volunteer for Street Art

:iconkiwi-pdd:
Hi ^kiwi-pdd, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
The name I go under is Kiwi. The style of art I produce is usually
labeled as street art. I produce canvases using spraypaint and stencils
cut out of card/paper, also hand drawn stickers for trade/placement on
the street.
What is it that attracts you to Traditional Art?

My answer is twofold to that one. Firstly the joy of creating something physical and real that can be held and admired from multiple angles. Secondly my complete ineptitude when it comes to image manipulation software

Today it's the delightful ^SRudy
:iconSalvador-rudy:
Hi ^SRudy, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
Hi, I´m a surreal artist, I love drawing / painting surreal-themed artworks. Since I really like both surreal art and the classical renaissance realism, I try my best to mix them most of the time.
What is it that attracts you to Traditional Art?

What I love about traditional art is its originality, and how almost everything can be done using traditional tools...
How much do you think that the roots and origins of Art affect what we create today?
Although that art is creating and improving, I believe that we're

Art History: Discovering Dali

Salvador Dali was born in Spain in 1904 and has been best known and recognised throughout the years for his surrealist, ambiguous works. Dali is responsible for inspiring a plethora of artists to create, combine and step outside of their comfort zones. Many know him for his paintings, but actually like many modern artists today, Dali traversed the fields of the artistic world to pick up talents in Writing, Photography, Sculpture and Film.

Dali was not famous for his methods. That's one of the mistakes that people make when tracing his history or seeking him out for inspiration. Dali's methods were much the same as anybody else's. However his concepts trumped them all and made him what he is remembered for today. He achieved his effects through a mastery of perspective
and a critical eye for color and shape, symmetry and innuendo. It is this realization that opens up the market for future dali-esque artists. There's nothing unusual behind the crea

Golden Age of Illustration

When in the second half of the 19th century newspapers and illustrated books became popular and widespread thanks to improvements in printing technology, many artists found their base to spread their skills. The official time span of the Golden Age of Illustration is said to be from 1880s to 1920s, but it varied a little bit between Europe and America.
While European illustrators were influenced mostly by the Pre-Raphaelites, Art Nouveau and Post-Impressionists (especially by Les Nabis, a group of Parisian artists), their American colleagues focused around Howard Pyle's Brandywine School of American Illustration in the Brandywine Valley.

Amongst the most popular artists of this time we find Arthur Rackham (UK), Howard Pyle (US), Ivan Bilibin (Russia), Theodor Kittelsen (Norway), Edmund Dulac (France), John Bauer (Sweden), Beatrix Potter (UK), N.C. Wyeth (US), Sul

Digital Art vs Traditional ArtFollowing the article I wrote for #ArtHistoryProject Digital Art - Why it's such a popular medium I wanted to bring to you another topic for discussion. It has been a prevailing topic for a while now around the internet and amongst community members in respects to Digital Art and Traditional Art.

Digital Art: is a general term for a range of artistic works and practices that use digital technology as an essential part of the creative and/or presentation process.[1]
Traditional Art: refers to fine arts that use the old methods for creating artwork, such as pens, brushes, clay and other tools. Although traditional arts has different techniques than digital arts, but in fact, the different forms of art are all related to each other by the same concept, which also involves digital arts.[2]

Art History: Takeshi ObataTakeshi Obata is an award-winning Japanese manga artist well-known for his contributions towards series such as Hikaru no Go, Bakuman, and more. His projects are often in collaboration with writers.
His style is unique among shonen artists, many don't explore fashion when it comes to manga - but his character designs often include fashionable clothing and trendy items. He's known for the extreme detail in his artwork.
One of his most popular works is Death Note, which is well-known globally. Death Note is one of two series where he worked with writer, Tsugumi Ohba; they recently collaborated again for Bakuman. At the time of publishing, Death Note was nothing anyone else had seen before in manga, and received positive views by critics.
In addition to his manga work, he's worked in the video game industry - doing character designs for Castlevania Judgment.

Up and ComingThere is an abundance of talent here on deviantART, and I love browsing our fashion photography galleries for emerging artists, at the forefront of the next wave of new talent.
There are always people who catch my eye, and I collect their names and keep an eye on them, because watching people make the most of their talent and fulfill their potential is a wonderful experience. I'm going to share some of the fresh talent I'm currently admiring and amazed by, so that when they're out shooting big campaigns and stories across the world, we can say I told you they were special!"
So have a look at these wonderful artists, this feature is the first in a series, and add them to your watch list to see the fantastic things they come up with in the future.

:iconjonniedee:
Hi *jonniedee, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.
The artwork that I produce has a few different styles. I play with more
than one look in order to keep myself from feeling stale. The styles are
black and white photojournalism/street photography, vintage aesthetic,
surreal and abstract.
What is it that attracts you to Traditional Art?
What attracts me to traditional art is the intimacy involved. When art
is hand made, patience is demanded. An person can't just pick up a
camera or paint brush for the first time and start making masterpiece
photographs or paintings . Time is needed for practice and the
accumulation of the sk

Art History - Interview with Astralseed

Sat Jul 21, 2012, 9:58 AM

As
part of Traditional Art History Month I will be interviewing some of
the Traditional Art Community, including your lovely TradART Community
Volunteers

Today it's the delightful ^Astralseed, your Community Volunteer for Traditional Art

Hi ^Astralseed, tell us a little about yourself and your style of Art.

Hi I'm Katy and I am not very good at talking about myself

. As far as my art style goes, I don't really feel that I have a particular style so to speak. I like to dabble in any and all areas of art which I possibly can and just absorb it all like a sponge. I think the style will follow eventually when I am more comfortable with the basics.

What is it that attracts you to Traditional Art?

Traditional art offers a lot of variety and options. There are so many different types of traditional media you can work with to literally get your hands dirty. But aside from that, traditional art is where my roots are. As a kid I started with crayons and markers and sidewalk chalk etc..

Are you a member of any dA Traditional Art Groups? If so, which?

Did you study Art at School / College / Uni? Or in your own time?

I took a few short weekend classes when I was young but aside from that I am self taught.

Which is your favourite Traditional Art piece on dA?

This is my all time favorite traditional piece on dA

_{Beyond the Forces by ~Bohmal47}

Who are your favourite Traditional Artists of all time?

My favorite traditional artist is Joan Miro. When I was younger we went to an exhibit of his at a museum and as wacky as some of his art is, I really enjoyed it a lot.

Thank you ^Astralseed!

Check out the #ArtHistoryProject for more about Traditional Art this month and be ready for the other galleries over the next year!
