Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Halloween est une fête d'origine celtique, elle se fête le 31 octobre.
Les enfants profitent de cette occasion pour se déguiser en fantômes, sorciers et vampires.
Ils sonnent aux portes des voisins afin de demander des bonbons et des gâteaux.
Canel le lapin et Automne la petite York ont arraché la pâte de la Tarentule pendant son sommeil afin de préparer une potion magique.
Ils n'oublient pas de l'écrire sur un grimoire!
A son réveil, la Tarentule est très en colère et décide de descendre très vite de sa toile pour attraper Canel et Automne.
Oups...Automne se cache derrière la citrouille quant à Canel il se glisse à l'intérieur.
- Zut...nous aurions dû préparer une potion d'invisibilité ! dit Automne

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Technic Painting

Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
