The Era Of Social Media And Art

The development of technology has continued walking hand-in-hand with progressive artistic concepts and has changed the way you look at art, enabling groundbreaking artists and their innovative expressions to gain fair access to whole new groups of people admiring beyond the conventional boundaries of the art world. In today's society, the use of social media and art has become an unmissable part of our day-to-day routine. It is a valuable communication tool with others locally and worldwide, as well as to share, create, and spread information over art and culture.

Social media enables you to come across people sharing the same interests as you and your artistic skills without leaving your studio. People from around the world looking for the type of art you are making can be found using social media. Utilizing these tools, an artist can develop an audience, boosting their visibility. Social media's biggest impact has been providing a platform. It offers small and unnoticed artists a blank canvas for them to pour their creativity into and represent themselves and their uniqueness, reaching audiences they wouldn't have otherwise.

Impressionism tells a story through its work and illustrates it according to the artist’s impression. It is characterized by small, sharp, and thin brush strokes playing with light and movement.

It emerged in the middle 1950s and is still among the favourites of all age groups. Pop art can also be seen as a reaction to expressionism at the time.

It was started by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in the early 1900s. Cubism as a style can be described as a real expression of realism representing a new perception. Artists use geometry, figures, and passage to create this look.

Indian art is always fascinating but has fewer opportunities due to a lack of sources. Social media came as a boon for Indian art, especially those small-scale businesses. You got your phone, you got your art and here you go! Ready to be the next sensation via social media.
