Teen artists

Introduction

Introduction
The medieval and renaissance painters they needed the patronage of someone rich and famous. This person (a royal or a noble) would pay them to produce commissioned artworks. So making a living from being an artist was not easy. However, now in the 21st century, things are different. The cost of materials is much more affordable and it probably won’t be a king or queen who buys your work! In fact, if you have Social media, you can easily show people your work. In this next section we look at a teenage artist and look at the phenomena of the social media and the promotion of art.

Where You See A Fork Or A Pasta Noodle, This Teen Sees His Next Work Of Art
22/01/2015 8:40 AM AEDT | Updated January 23, 2015 03:59
By Amanda Scherker Associate Editor, Viral Content, The Huffington Post

Most people probably wouldn't see much creative potential in a comb, a gum wrapper or a pasta noodle. But Kristián Mensa sees his next work of art.
The 17-year-old's Instagram account, @mr. kriss, caught the eye of Elite Daily -- and it's not hard to see why. For starters, take a look at his iPhone, transformed into a pool. Born in the Czech Republic, Kristián now goes to school in Colorado. In an email to The Huffington Post, the teen said that he started drawing when he was seven, and he's had a unique perspective from the get-go: "I've always liked to make my own rules and I didn't like being told what I should or shouldn't draw."
Every day, he sits down with a blank sheet of paper and lets his imagination run wild. Next thing you know, he's turned a fork into a convincing prison cell. Kristián couples hand drawings with iPhone photography. He's most inspired by "little and often 'not interesting' things" and enjoys "giving those things new meaning." For example, take his whimsical use of bow-tie pasta noodles. Kristián's happiest when his drawings "make his friends smile." This dinosaur teapot probably does the trick.
Kristián's advice to aspiring artists is simple: "Turn off your phone on your way from work or school and look up!"

This Teen’s Incredibly Intricate Drawings Take Doodling To The Next Level

We’ve all seen spiral notebooks decked out in mindless drawings. But when it comes to doodling, 18-year-old Prianka Bassi takes drawing to a whole new level. Bassi creates all sorts of intricate artwork meticulously sketched with unbelievable amounts of detail. No really, these things are so complex, it must take her forever to complete them. She started drawing at the age of 8 or 9 but has been doing pen drawings in detail since she was 16. “My first post was of a small pattern I did when I was bored in class and so many people liked it and wanted to see more, so from then I posted more and more.” said Bassi.
Thanks to her incredible talent, Bassi acquired quite a fan base on social media, with thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram.
Apparently, Bassi’s art teacher played a major role in helping her blossom into the budding artist she is now and even inspired her to follow her dreams and pursue a career in the arts.
Bassi continued, “She was the one who motivated me to continue with art regardless of the Indian stereotypes [that] only doctors or engineers are respected.”

Step 2 - Task

Task
The two artists of text A and text B (Step 1) have both become Instagram famous.
That means that because they have photographed their work and many people have liked it (each has a lot of followers) they have caught the eye of journalists.

Now, you are going to ‘discover’ an Instagram artist and write a review of his/her work.

  1. Find an artist whose work you like.
  2. Think what it is that you like about the art.
  3. Imagine that you are able to interview the artist. Write the questions that you would ask the artist.
  4. Your classmate will answer them (make sure that they look at your artist’s Instagram page!)
  5. Now write your answer to this question.

Your English teacher has asked you to write a review of an Instagram artist.
Write your review saying what you like about the artist, and where you think the artist will be in 10 years’ time. Write no more than 200 words.
