We all know that art is a form to express feelings, ideas, moments, things, looks, and many other things. Art comes in many different ways like music writting, painting, drawing, sculpting, photography, e.t.c.
each art form has its techniques that are recomended so that the finish product is perfect or close to being clasified as part of that form of art but one is never obbligated to fallow those techniques or rules because art is creativity that comes from inside and ones thoughts which makes each piece special and unique.
Art has always been a part of the hsitory of every country and every country has its own ways and forms of art; because of this specific characteristics of art we have been able to learn about different cultures, different tribes, and our history; we have been able to learn about what it use to be like many decades ago and about the amazing abilities that we humans can have if we just put a bit of hard work and focus into everything we do.
Personally i love art and i seriously think that it should be used by everyone even when they think that they are not good at any form of art some ideas that the public my use are the following for drawing and painting:
-Abstract ---Abstract artists felt that paintings did not have to show only things that were recognizable. In their paintings they did not try to show people, animals, or places exactly as they appeared in the real world. They mainly used color and shape in their paintings to show emotions. Some Abstract art is also called Non-objective art. In non-objective art, you do not see specific objects. It is not painted to look like something specific.
-Cubism---Cubism is modern art made up mostly of paintings. The paintings are not supposed to look real The artist uses geometric shapes to show what he is trying to paint. Early cubists used mainly grays, browns, greens, and yellows. After 1914, Cubists started to use brighter colors. Cubism was the beginning of the Abstract and Non-objective art styles.
-Expressionism---In Expressionist Art, the artist tries to express certain feelings about some thing. The artists that painted in this style were more concerned with having their paintings express a feeling than in making the painting look exactly like what they were painting.
-Fauvism---Fauvism was an art style that lasted only four years, beginning in 1905. The leader of this movement was Henri Matisse. The word Fauvism is french for "wild beasts". It got this name because the paintings had bright and unusual colors. The subjects in the paintings were shown in a simple way, and the colors and patterns were bright and wild.
-Impressionism---Impressionism was developed in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These pieces of art were painted as if someone just took a quick look at the subject of the painting. The paintings were usually in bold colors and did not have a lot of detail. The paintings in this style were usually outdoor scenes like landscapes. The pictures were painted to look like they were shimmering.
-Pointillism---In Pointillism, the artist uses small dots or strokes of paint to make up the pictures. From far away, these dots blend together to form the picture and give the impression of different colors as they blend together.
-Pop Art---Pop art can be any every day item that is drawn in a brash and colorful way. Pop Art is short for Popular Art. It is inspired by comic strips, advertising, and popular entertainment.
-Postimpressionism---Postimpressionism began in the 19th century. It was mainly still lifes and landscapes. The postimpressionists liked to use lots of colors and shadows.
-Primitivism---Primitive Art looks like art that is done by a child. Usually the picture is painted very simply, and the subjects are "flat", or two-dimensional.
-Realism Realism is a type of art that shows things exactly as they appear in life. It began in the 18th century, but the greatest Realist era was in the mid-19th century. Most Realists were from France, but there were some famous American painters who were Realists also.
-Surrealism---Surrealists paintings were generally based on dreams. Their paintings were filled with familiar objects which were painted to look strange or mysterious. They hoped their odd paintings would make people look at things in a different way and change the way they felt about things. They thought that their paintings might stir up feelings in the back of peoples minds.
I ENVITE EVERYONE TO TRY IT. IT IS CRAZY WHAT ONE CAN REALIZE AND DO WHEN INVENTING OR USING AN ALREADY EXISTENT ART STYLE. I LIKE ART AND I PERFORM IT ANY TIME POSSIBLE. TRY IT!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must remind everyone that everybody can try it; kids, adults, senior citizens, anybody!!!!!!!!!

Cool post! I figured I'd give a visual example of pointillism, as I've done several pointillism drawings for fanart.
The picture is of Laura Vandervoort who plays Kara on Smallville. (If the link doesn't work, I'll try another way to do it.)
