the UPWARD gallery Feelings and Emotions
One of the most important functions of art is that it helps a person to clarify their own feelings and emotions. It provides a mirror that reflects the images of the feelings we experience, which allows us not only to evaluate ourselves and see our emotional world from the outside, but also to tell something to another about his world. Looking into this mirror, the viewer can identify himself with the character or the author, penetrate the world of a work of art, understand the feelings and perceive the emotions contained in it.
We are excited to introduce the Feelings and Emotions juried art exhibition for curators.
Acceptable mediums include all traditional art media (e.g., oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, mixed media, gouache, egg tempera, pen and ink; drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, scratch board, markers, metal point), digital painting, arts and crafts (beadwork, pottery, embroidery, floristry, batik, stained glass, two-dimensional collage and fabric art as well, etc.).
