Art and Ecology

Presently, considering the most widely available technologies, the most ecologically sound art is either existing art,digital art displayed digitally (providing energy source is pure, i.e., emerging technologies), and purely "natural" art.

Existing art doesn't require pollution because it is already here. Barring the cleaning and maintenance, which can have polluting aspects, existing art is not harmful to ecological systems. Polluting aspects of the maintenance of fine art include the solvents necessary to remove varnish, the cleaning of brushes, etc., but this is minimal.

Natural art has its own caveats in that nature needs those natural items in order for them to take their place in the cycle of life. Their decay is part of the healthy natural environment. Further, art that makes use of natural items, such as dyes, may or may not be produced by damaging living plant life. If you are moving toward vegetarianism and respect plant life, you will understand where I am going as to killing plant life for the sake of art which, though important, is not directly involved in primary sustenance.

Therefore, while it may be somewhat ironic, the use of existing so-called "junk" in art, may very well be far more sound ecologically, than most any other physical representation of art (that is apart from performance art). One big reason this is so, is because the fact that the "spare parts" are not being recycled actually may be kinder, certainly in some respects, to the overall environment, than some forms of recycling, especially those forms which reform the refuse at the molecular level, i.e., melting down, and where processes may use copious amounts of water.

I am approaching this subject purely from what is more or less widely known through the world at this time in Man's history. I add here that all this will change. Our very survival as a species depends on this change. Countless other species have already suffered and died out due to the need for the overall change of resource use and attitude toward planet Earth. No need to be glum about it, those sacrifices were not in vain as people have been awakening to the truth as to what is important. They have awakened to the the truth that all is not as it seems and "help" we've been telepathically "asking" for will be forthcoming. Hold on to your hats, in other words.

I may or may not write further on this subject pending many "changes". Just keep in mind, worrying about art and how it affects the environment is a concern until better methods of dealing with the overall pollution the activities create are available. Until then, until we can effectively protect the waters, the soils, the animals, insects, and ourselves from the menace of pollution, we should keep in mind how all our activities, including the creation of art works, effect the whole. This being the case, it is the responsible person who recognizes that creating art that has consequences described here, especially of dubious value, is really not wise. Let us all pursue planning and premium execution in art so value at least approaches a worthiness to exist under the circumstances.

Art and Decor Ideas: General, Bedroom, and Bath

Art may be used to evoke emotion, to decorate, to commemorate.
The art wall may be used to design a personal form of art for the art enthusiast - a means to express one's self through art arrangement. Such as is done, for example, in displaying family pictures on a wall or horizontal surface.

Taking coordinating colors into consideration is the designer's choice. This factor and the style of the piece, the era that is being recreated, the size may all help one decide just which art forms and paintings one wants for decorating purposes.

Art may be specific and so commissioned. There is incredible variety available for portraits, to coordinate colors to bring a room together, or to capture the beauty of a dog or cat.
The dog or cat painting will offer a nice black and white addition to decor or a warmer look if the animal is brown or buff or even calico. You have your cool grays too (and grays may be made warmer).

Art is often the finishing touch for a room's decor and sought post painting the room. Some who are dedicated to providing the ultimate place for a prized piece will work the room's decor around the art. This I highly recommend if one is looking to make a new start for a room or remaking an abode. It may be a convenient way to choose a color scheme or style.

Bedroom decor may be very personalized and may reflect the person's age group or sex. There are also countless options that may enjoyed regardless of sex and sometimes eclectic mixes of one's favorite things may not give many hints as to the sex of bedroom occupant. One example is a love of horses. Horses are a beloved animal admired by both sexes though some may argue that women have more affinity for horses than men do.

The bathroom may be enhanced by a small work or set that really adds charm or an interesting look. Larger washrooms have options such combining three coordinated paintings or more. The bachelor may opt for a sports car theme or piece that harmonizes with the theme while many ladies may want floral or some take off on a floral - maybe an impressionistic piece without flowers or a creative piece that has the colors of floral but is more geometrical. Geometric art somewhat like cubism will go nicely with modern sleek fixtures and may delight either or both sexes when it comes to choosing art for the powder room.

Feel free to let me know what colors or themes you like for your bedroom and bath and in general. I may create an artwork based on what you like.
