Arts for the YOUNGER GENERATION
Art is a very simple yet widely used word. Without art, the world is with no color and life. In Malaysia, art is looked down upon as most Malaysians believe that art is off value to which some people can not reach. In the modern days, there are many things that can be defined as art. Photography is a type of art that captures the art. Painting is a type of art that is created by artist. Different people looks at art differently, hence, it is safe to say that the real art has not been understood well. Without proper understanding of the real art, younger generations would not be able to enjoy art. There are a few ways of how younger generation can appreciate art and enjoy art. First and far most, art must be encouraged. In school, children were taught to draw and color, but as they grow, art seems to fade away as if it was just an activity of fun. Art is fun, but it also needs to be a consistent fun for everyone to enjoy. To encourage art, student in school or universities should be recommended to participate in art classes. From there, the younger generation can learn the true value of their art and other artist’s art. Secondly, to encourage art for the younger generation, art events should be held regularly and student should be invited for further exposure of the world’s art. Art exhibitions are usually specific for people of a certain qualifications or rankings, but the higher authority should also invite potential fresh keens to be inspired by world greatest art from all over the world so that they can learn be produce the best art the future can still enjoy. Last but not least is competitions. Open competitions should also be held for young generations to be able to share their potential in art. Art is agree to be subjective, hence with many different talents from younger, many types of different and new arts can be discover and noticed by the world. As a conclusion, to encourage art to the younger generations, the world should give a chance to them to show what they are capable of doing and what they can create for the future tomorrow.
Art Movement
Impressionism
This piece of impressionism art movement
was created by Mary Cassatt titled Lydia Leaning on Her Arms ( in a theatre box ) in 1879. An impressionism art movement is defined as an art by concentrating on the immediate visual impression
produced by a scene and by the use of unmixed primary colors and small strokes
to simulate actual reflected light.
It mainly demonstrates the technique artists use
to paint by short and broken brush strokes that barely convey forms, pure unblended colors, and an emphasis on
the effects of light. From the pictures selected, it has inspired me to
look deep into the details of the painting. The painting was painted in
such that the brush strokes were from top right to lower left shows of how this
painting has a certain demure characteristics to it. The art was soft yet very
classy. It portrayed a women of beauty and elegance without having her to
define her as the ultimate beauty because the painting itself is the great beauty.
Surrealism

The art work that I have
chosen was randomly picked from Google pictures. I have not managed to find the
talented artist that painted this painting but I believe this particular
painting has an amazing story behind it. Surrealism basically defines the attempt
to express the workings of the subconscious and is
characterized by fantastic imagery and incongruous juxtaposition of subject
matter. As the picture selected, it definitely portrays another life’s
fantasy of life and peacefulness. The woman of which represents softness in the
pictures, shows of how the artist believes the woman to be a protector to the
world and how she is strong to have to let go of her man to sea. With all the
time she has without him, her home is at her best care to welcome her man when
he comes back. In the painting shows her gracefulness in which gives a vibe of
strength to be independent before her man comes home. It may not be the exact
story for this painting, but from the beauty I believe it to portray, that
story I see is a wonderful fantasy of love and strength.

Street Art
On the 22cnd of March 2013, a trip to the Central
Market Kuala Lumpur was held by our Introduction to Design lecturer, Mr.
Khairuazhar. The purpose of the field trip was to get us exposed to the art
street and other arts made available by people at the Central Market. From the
first step into the building, lights shined bright to every angle of the
building. From outside, the building may looked like any other building but the
content of the building had a different say to it. There were so many things to
see inside the Central Market and even around the Central Market. What is best
about the Central Market is the varieties of art in the building and around it.
With
so many arts made available at the Central Market, there was one that had my
attention the most. It was a Buddhist elephant. The elephant was beautifully
made by metal. The shop located with this beautiful elephant was the right side
shop lot at the back exit of the building. It was easy to locate and I was
fortunate to have seen the elephant. The elephant was made carved as it was
meant for a ride. From the seller, it was said that the elephant is believed to
be a symbol of physical and
mental strength, and also a symbol to responsibility and earthiness.
From the picture
taken, details of the elephant can be seen better. From the carvings of the
elephant, it was certainly shown of how the small tiny details made big
differences to form the elephant. Not only were the details on the elephant
were made with care, but the meaning of every cravings managed to grab part of
my soul to it. Even with no such believe as the Buddhist has, deep down, I had
a belief of my own. The elephant had a story of courage and responsibility. No
doubt the person that was responsible to the cravings on the elephant and the
elephant itself was a creative and
talented artist.

The Purple Girl
From time to time,
colours have revolved around everyone’s life and had brought memories and
different meanings to them. To the assignment given to us students, the
instruction was interesting, which was to type out an essay about the colours
that effects your emotion. Personally, my ultimate choice of colour would be purple. The reason to that is
because purple speaks deeply to me. Through this research done, I have understood
why purple has much relate to me better compared to any other colours
available.
According to Frank, M. G. &
Gilovich, T. ( Color Psychology, 1998 ), purple represents many different
types of positive and negative emotions or characters. There are some to which I
agree with as I believe I portrait those emotions from time to time but there
are also some that I am still learning in what form I may portrait that certain
emotions. Of which those positives emotions that I agree with Frank, M. G.
& Gilovich, T.’s research are the feeling of being mysterious, sensual
and noble. On the negative emotions, I have to agree that I may easily mourn,
exaggerate and get confused at certain times. From these research, I have realized
how the colour purple has much become part of my life for a long time in
support to my emotional moments. The reason to this is because purple has seemed
be a vague yet big colour in terms of causing different mood effects ( Colors,
Going Mental. n.d) .
To which I believe, purple may also create
other different emotions from within me. In addition to the stated emotions
above, other emotions like being imaginative, soulful, limitless, safe, royal,
feminine, powerful and energetic may also have been cause by the colour purple.
On the negative emotions that can be caused by the colour purple may be of
these emotions, which are looking snobby at certain times and being expensive
for certain wants.
I have learnt that purple not only has been a colour in my life,
but it has also been a belief for my life. The belief I stand for purple is
that it is not only a colour but it is a way of my life. From the
characteristics of the colour purple, it has created a sort of guidelines for myself.
Without a touch of purple in a day, I am
not complete. Even with other people’s perception, I was referred as ‘The
Purple Girl’ for a reason. Purple has meant so much because it is the colour
that is in me and has become me. Due to its very personal meaning to myself, I can
easily relate, feel and become the colour purple that most people believe it to
portrait.
To my conclusion, purple is not just a colour, it is my life, it
is my friend, and it is a piece of my heart. Purple speaks perfectly for me and
with it, I believe I can become the woman I plan to become one day in the
future.
