ABSTRACT ART

Abstract art uses a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.
Abstract art, non-figurative art, non-objective art, and nonrepresentational art are loosely related terms. They are similar, but perhaps not of identical meaning.
Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be slight, partial, or complete. Abstraction exists along a continuum. Even art that aims for verisimilitude of the highest degree can be said to be abstract, at least theoretically, since perfect representation is likely to be exceedingly elusive. Artwork which takes liberties, altering for instance color and form in ways that are conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable. In geometric abstraction, for instance, one is unlikely to find references to naturalistic entities. Figurative art and total abstraction are almost mutually exclusive. But figurative and representational (or realistic) art often contains partial abstraction.
Both geometric abstraction and lyrical abstraction are often totally abstract. Among the very numerous art movements that embody partial abstraction would be for instance fauvism in which color is conspicuously and deliberately altered vis-a-vis reality, and cubism, which blatantly alters the forms of the real life entities depicted.

Simple Doodle Art

Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may only be composed of random and abstract lines, mostly without ever lifting the drawing device from the paper, in which case it is normally named a "scribble".  Doodling and scribbling are most frequently associated with immature children and toddlers, because their lack of hand–eye coordination and lower mental development often make it very hard for any young kid to hold on their coloring attempts within the line art on the subject. Despite this, it is not uncommon to witness such behavior with adults, in which case it is generally done jovially, out of boredom.   Distinctive examples of doodling are found in school notebooks, often in the margins, drawn by student daydreaming or losing interest during class . Other common examples of doodling are produced during long telephone conversations if a pen and paper are available.  Popular kinds of doodles include car...

Islamic Calligraphy Art

Islamic calligraphy is the artistic pattern of handwriting and calligraphy, based upon the first principle in the lands sharing a common Islamic cultural heritage. It includes Arabic Calligraphy, Ottoman, and Persian calligraphy . It is recognized in Arabic as chat Islamic (خط اسلامي), meaning Islamic line, figure , or structure. The growth of Islamic calligraphy is strongly linked to the Qur'an; chapters and extracts from the Qur'an are a common and almost universal text upon which Islamic calligraphy is based. Deep religious association with the Qur'an, as well as suspicion of figurative art as idolatrous, has led calligraphy to become one of the major figures of aesthetic expression in Islamic cultures. It has also been indicated that Islamic calligraphy was motivated less by iconophobia (since, in fact, images were by no means lacking in Islamic art) torn by the centrality of the notion of writing and written text in Islam.   As Islamic ca...
