| Miniature Painting |
As
Hindu-rulers of Rajputana carry on close political and social links to
the Mughal court, one can examine strong Mughal influence paintings
here.Influenced by the surroundings, miniature paintings have their
own unique style; court assemblies and hunting expeditions, hills and
valleys, religious festivals, processions and scenes from the life of
Lord Krishna - a widely devoted Hindu God in India.
Miniature paintings are different in size and material. Paper, silk and wood was used, for more precious paintings also marble and ivory. The colours were made from minerals and vegetables, valuable stones as well as pure silver and gold. The mixing and preparing of colour was an elaborate process. It took weeks, sometimes months, to get the desired results. The brushes have to be very fine and are therefore prepared by the artists themselves. To get high-quality results, the brush is even today made from hairs of the squirrels, tail- carefully cut without harming the little animal. |
| Tradition of Miniature Paintings in Rajasthan |
The
tradition of the miniature paintings in Rajasthan is very rich in its
form, colors, texture, and storytelling. The Kishangarh School of
miniature Rajasthani Painting is one of the popular and richest forms.
Rajasthan is the main center of this art and even today regions of
Jodhpur, Jaipur, Udaipur and Kota look after the art schools of
miniature paintings. The two chief school of the art are the Mughal
School and Rajput School. While Mughal school is obvious by moderate
colors to give depth, the Rajput have skills in using colourful
exciting shades to make it more showy.

The earliest forms of art around the world depict little that could really be called landscape, although ground-lines and sometimes indications of mountains, trees or other natural features are included. The earliest "pure landscapes" with no human figures are frescos from Minoan Greece of around 1500 BCE.[6] Hunting scenes, especially those set in the enclosed vista of the reed beds of the Nile Delta from Ancient Egypt, can give a strong sense of place, but the emphasis is on individual plant forms and human and animal figures rather than the overall landscape setting. For a coherent depiction of a whole landscape, some rough system of perspective, or scaling for distance, is needed, and this seems from literary evidence to have first been developed in Ancient Greece in the Hellenistic period, although no large-scale examples survive. More ancient Roman landscapes survive, from the 1st century BCE onwards, especially frescos of landscapes decorating rooms that have been preserved at archaeological sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum and elsewhere, and mosaics.[7]

The Chinese ink painting tradition of shan shui ("mountain-water"), or "pure" landscape, in which the only sign of human life is usually a sage, or a glimpse of his hut, uses sophisticated landscape backgrounds to figure subjects, and landscape art of this period retains a classic and much-imitated status within the Chinese tradition.
Both the Roman and Chinese traditions typically show grand panoramas of imaginary landscapes, generally backed with a range of spectacular mountains – in China often with waterfalls and in Rome often including sea, lakes or rivers. These were frequently used, as in the example illustrated, to bridge the gap between a foreground scene with figures and a distant panoramic vista, a persistent problem for landscape artists. The Chinese style generally showed only a distant view, or used dead ground or mist to avoid that difficulty.

The World Of 3D Street Art: Renaissance Roots
The penchant for putting chalk to sidewalk was practiced widely by Italian vagabond artists. Known as the Madonnari because of their copious reproductions of Madonna, the artists would travel between festivals, creating religious works from brick, charcoal, colored stones and chalk. Giving credence to the ‘starving artist’ stereotype, the Madonnari lived solely off the coins passers-by tossed at them for their skill. |

| 3d paintings |
3D street art — alternatively known as pavement, chalk or sidewalk art — is a form of anamorphic art pioneered by American Kurt Wenner. Sprawling over sidewalks, walls, and public spaces, artists use chalk or pastels to render pictures that use mathematical continuation of perspective to give the illusion of three-dimensionality. Though the medium is widely regarded as a modern art, street art traces its origins back to the Renaissance.
3D Street Painting
Pavement painting, pavement drawing and
sidewalk chalk art is done by artists from all over the world,
such as the street painters Kurt Wenner or Edgar Mueller or
the pavement artist Julian Beever. Through the study of
anamorphosis used in the paintings of the Renaissance
and Baroque periods to give an illusion of more height and
broadness, Kurt Wenner developed a
new form of street art, the 3D street painting, to produce
three-dimensional impressions on a two-dimensional horizontal
surface, the
asphalt.
This new
art form of street painting has been gaining in importance all
around the globe
and is disseminated by numerous artists. It is admired at street
painting festivals as well as promotional events.
Manfred Stader combines the
street painters' "folk" art, which sprung up in Italy in the 16th
century, with the
modern perception of illusion painting of the 21st century, using
pastel chalk. This art appeals to a very large audience.
The
most popular form of his art as a street painter are the interactive projects -
or interactive street art - where onlookers can pose
in a logical connection with the pavement art image to get
photographed or filmed.
A brand new form of pavement
drawing is XXL 3D street painting - as seen for instance in the latest
work of Edgar Mueller. It is mostly done directly onto the asphalt by
using acrylic paints. An example of this type of 3D pavement art
can be found at the the top of this site under XXL - Schiphol Waterfall.

Sadanga of Indian painting
Around the 1st century BC the Sadanga or Six Limbs of Indian Painting, were evolved, a series of canons laying down the main principles of the art.[2] Vatsyayana, who lived during the third century A.D., enumerates these in his Kamasutra having extracted them from still more ancient works.These 'Six Limbs' have been translated as follows:[2]
- Rupabheda The knowledge of appearances.
- Pramanam Correct perception, measure and structure.
- Bhava Action of feelings on forms.
- Lavanya Yojanam Infusion of grace, artistic representation.
- Sadrisyam Similitude.
- Varnikabhanga Artistic manner of using the brush and colours. (Tagore.)

| If Neanderthal man created any form of art, no traces of it have yet been found. But with the arrival of modern man, or Homo sapiens sapiens, the human genius for image-making becomes abundantly clear. In the recesses of caves, people begin to decorate the rock face with an important theme in their daily lives, the bison and reindeer which are their prey as Ice Age hunters. And sculptors carve portable images of another predominant interest of mankind - the swelling curves of the female form, emphasizing the fertility on which the survival of the tribe depends. |

| Cave paintings: from 31,000 years ago |
||
|
Prehistoric cave paintings have been discovered in many parts of the world, from Europe and Africa to Australia.
Africa has some of the earliest paintings and rock engravings to have
been securely dated. Nearly 30,000 years old, they are discovered in
1969 on the rock face in a cave near Twyfelfontein in Namibia.
But the most numerous and the most sophisticated of prehistoric
paintings are on the walls of caves in southwest France and northern
Spain. About 150 painted caves have been discovered in this region. Perhaps the most startling of all are the paintings in Chauvet cave, found as recently as 1994 and thought to be as much as 31,000 years old. But far better known, as yet, are the glories of Altamira and Lascaux. |

| The walls and ceilings of these caves are covered in paintings, with shades of red, brown, yellow and black created from powdered minerals, probably mixed with animal blood and fat. The subjects are mainly the animals of the chase - bison, wild cattle, horses and deer. Many of the paintings are d | ||
