Miniature Miniature isn't merely about size, but
also the level of detail in the painting. It's the detail that differentiates a miniature from a small painting: if you look at it through a magnifying glass, you'll see extremely fine brush marks with every detail scaled down and miniaturized. Techniques used include hatching, stippling, and glazing. Composition, perspective, and color are as important as in larger paintings.
Symbolism A symbol, in general, is a visible sign of
something invisible in such as an idea or a quality.
Art of Symbolism is the art to use symbols to represent things, ideas and emotions.
Realism The representation in art or literature of
objects, actions, or social conditions as they actually are, without idealization or presentation in abstract form.
Adopted to describe things represent figures and exactly how they look like in real life.
Mural A mural is any piece of artwork painted
or applied directly on a wall, ceiling or other large permanent surface.
A particularly distinguishing characteristic of mural painting is that the architectural elements of the given space are harmoniously incorporated into the picture
Abstract ExpressionismAbstract Expressionism is a school of art
that developed from Expressionism. It applied the principles of Expressionism to abstract art. The artist's brush strokes, the visible evidence of the process of creating the painting, together with the use of color, are the 'subject' of the painting.
