Paintings and Art

All of the time that I've spending thinking and researching Chinese paintings and art has made me want to create some art or a painting of my own. I decided to not be too picky about what type or anything and just let my creativity flow. I've been addicted to Astarte's Mega-Zine. I can't even explain how cool all of the issues are. For those of you who don't know Astarte's Mega-Zine is an online magazine is stuffed full of art tips and information about art and paintings. You can check them out here or click the image at the bottom. I have found all of their issues to be really helpful. Right now I don't think I'm good enough to post pictures of any of my attempts at Chinese painting and arts, but maybe soon. I would definitely recommend you check out Astarte's Mega-Zine, its very inexpensive and definitely full of lots of helpful things and a great deal. I can't want for the next issue.

Chinese Paintings and Art

One of the interesting things about Chinese paintings and art is the incredible span of time that we can view. The example on the left is from 706 A.D. It is the mural of Li Xian's tomb and dates back to the Tang Dynasty.








There are a lot of famous Chinese paintings and works of art dedicated to landscapes. One of my all time favorite Chinese painting is seen here on the right of the screen. It is a landscape painting by Zhao Wei. This painting is much much more recent the the mural at the top of the post. Zhao Wei himself was born in 1957! More then a thousand years after the mural from the Tang Dynasty. I find it important to see how the Chinese paintings and art has prevailed throughout times.
