Western Painting - Body Painting - A Contemporary Yet Ancient Style of Being a Canvas

Body Painting - The Intricacies

The origin of body painting is unknown, but its use has been widespread - sometimes as an art form, sometimes as a part of tradition, and the other times, as a necessity. The evidence of body painting is found in ancient practices across various cultures and remains a popular fashion statement in the present times. There is no set style or technique for body painting. It can be a localized design or a fuller one, covering the entire body in some cases. The color pigments used can be natural or synthetic. Similarly, it can be a work of an expert or an amateurish hand of a novice. However, unlike permanent tattoos, body paints are temporary or semi-permanent in nature.

The Geographical Spread
Painting the body was prevalent in ancient Egyptian civilization, where Pharaohs and high-class individuals painted their faces in red ochre & white pigments, and eyes in kohl. The Himba group of Namibia also generously uses red ochre. These people paint their entire bodies in the uniform pigment, as a traditional practice. In India, body painting is an elaborate work of expertise, which requires training and a lot of experience. One of the best examples of this art is the make-up of Kathakali dancers that involves the use of white, red, black, and yellow colors against a base of bottle green color, on face.

The use of 'henna,' a natural plant extract, is very popular among the Indian women across the country and is again, done by trained experts. Henna is used for decorating the hands and feet in beautiful, complex designs. Native Americans use streaks, concentric circles, and other patterns of colors, which include red, white, yellow, blue, and black. The indigenous Yolngu people of Australia use detailed and painstaking technique to embellish their bodies. It is an inspiration for many other art forms and a job that only the experts can do.

Painted faces have been a trademark of comedians and mimics, throughout the history of performing arts. Body painting has found as much use in military operations, as in local communities. Facial colors, particularly in nature tones are heavily employed as camouflage by almost all armies in the world. Now days, this art has become a fad, especially among the youth and is treated more as an avant-garde fashion accessory, rather than as a religious belief. Across the US and Europe, body painting is used in theatre, cinema, fashion, carnivals, and body painting festivals. Despite facing criticism and rejection from various corners, this art continued to grow and is still evolving!

DORMITORIOS EN TONOS PASTELES: RECAMARA AZUL CLARO Y ROSADO

Me preguntaron cómo quedaría decorar un dormitorio rosado con azul, pero azul me parece que es muy fuerte para combinarlo con rosado. Sin embargo, si el azul es claro, es decir celeste, queda muy lindo generando una habitación en tonos pasteles. Esto es lo que encontré:

Azul un poquito mas fuerte si hace un gran contraste con un rosa casi fucsia tipo lápiz de labios: La calidez del rosado hace el dormitorio mas divertido y joven. Ideal para la habitación de una joven adolescente.

Bold blue makes a great contrast to a lipstick pink - and the warmth of the pink really makes the room fun and young looking. Ideal for a teenager's room, it suits a not too feminine scheme, too. Ikea

Last 100 years Painter : Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci was a Florentine artist, one of the great teachers of the High Renaissance, which is also celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineers, and scientists. Love-depth knowledge and research is the essence of both artistic and scientific efforts. His innovations in the field of painting influenced the course of Italian art for more than a century after his death, and scientific studies-particularly in the field of anatomy, optics, and hydraulics-anticipated many of the developments of modern science.

Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, in the small Tuscan town of Vinci, near Florence. He was the son of a wealthy Florentine notary and a peasant woman.

In the mid-1460s the family settled in Florence, where Leonardo was given the best education that Florence, the intellectual and artistic center of Italy, could offer. He quickly advanced socially and intellectually. He was handsome, persuasive in conversation, and a fine musician and improvisation. About 1466 he was apprenticed as a garzone (studio boy) to Andrea del Verrocchio, Florence's leading painters and sculptors of the day. In Verrocchio workshop Leonardo was introduced to a variety of activities, from painting altarpieces and panel pictures to the creation of a large sculpture projects in marble and bronze. In 1472 he entered the painters guild of Florence, and in 1476 he was mentioned as Verrocchio's assistant. In Verrocchio's Baptism of Christ (c. 1470, Uffizi, Florence), the kneeling angel at the left of the painting by Leonardo.
