Contemporary Earth Day Art Inspired by 2017, Earth day Protest


Earth day was protested over the weekend and I sat at home and watched on TV, all the protest around the world and read some Op-eds on why this particular 2017,
earth day protest is needed.

It aimed to emphasis the need for science and funding for research on how to create Jobs and sustainability around climate change and reduction of global carbon emissions, because of climate change deniers and defunding for research.

Also how all this is pivotal to sustaining our well being as humans and for our planet which by the way is under all sorts of threat.

As I watched and saw all the signs made and carried by the protesters,  I was amazed at the sheer audacity of the number of people who came out.

I was struck by the diversity and the facial expressions of the protesters, that was awesome to say the least.

By the way facial expressions drawn in a simple or rather abstract way is one Art I just love to paint or draw.

So this 2017, earth day march and protest gave me fantastic personalities and content to use.

 A lot of the signs I noted, where written on brown corrugated cardboard paper, it looked like they where torn up in a hurry and made into signs. 

It maybe intentional or not, for me it looked like a sign of what the earth is experiencing, a desperate need to combat climate change, tearing the earth through incessant floods, wild fires, hurricanes, constant volcano eruptions, etc.

I was immediately inspired, to  create some sort of Art on all my cardboard boxes I, was looking to dispose.

It simply showed that our messages, can be seen or heard regardless of the material used to convey its content.

As an Artist I was inspired by the creativity and simplicity of these messages and decided to create some Art on all my card board boxes packed to be discarded.

Well maybe I did something right or wrong the truth is I created some sort of art, inspired by 2017, earth day protest round the world....Enjoy.

Understanding Abstract Art | Artmiabo

Understanding Abstract Art                                 The secret essence of abstract art is to have an open mind toward art that appears distorted and different.  Abstract Art creates, a kind of curiosity and a sense of wonder around the artist. Typically, one is always intrigued, when they view an abstract painting or Art in general.

Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view | Miabo Enyadike

  Modern Abstract Art Silhouettes to view   I enjoy painting abstract art silhouettes especially faces.The simple reason is I can manipulate the profile of an individual, with several layers of color. Color for me is an integral part of my art aesthetics I allow color to lead my creative process in the way I see the art I am about to create.            Silhouette of a woman; Abstract Art; by miabo enyadike. My Abstract Art this week is all about using colors to create a simple silhouette, of a woman and a man. When I decided to create this particular abstract painting, it was more of emphasis on color than on the human profile. I wanted to see what the outcome of the creative process would look like.  Also to see if and when the human features are covered in colors, other than our natural colors would this Art evoke any emotions?... that simply belies the fact, that color seems to be one the many problems we have in our so...

Abstract Art Faces Ideas to View Now | By Miabo Enyadike

  Abstract Art Faces Ideas to View Now Indigo Blue color is a color tone, I have come to know and love. This color was huge in the late seventies, in my home country of Nigeria. It is a  blue color, I remember vividly that was used on fabrics to create what we know as Adire(Tie dye) pronounced Ah-d-rear.               FACES IN BLUE ABSTRACT PAINTING BLOG The Inspiration for this series is drawn from the blue tye-dye fabric in my home country, where different shades and tones of blue are applied on white cotton through natural dyes to create a traditional textile design called Adire.  This used to be an ancient textile Art of dying pure cotton fabric for days in a dye pit dug in the ground, using natural elements that create this awesome blue hue, and this method of traditional dyeing is still used till this very day.

My Art Weekend Project with Clipboards by Miabo Enyadike

                     Abstract art on clipboards                                       My weekend, was one I spent lazing around in my pjs, eating  flatbread and hummus.  Sounds crazy or weird but for me, it was fun and a bit out of the norm.  The weird part, was not the choice of food or being in my PJ's all day, but the brief I got from a client who commissioned me to create abstract Art on clipboards for him 10 days ago.                                 Well, I have done decoupage on clipboards but actual painting no.  Not only was I not so sure, his brief was equally abstract to say the least, "just paint me anything abstract on these clipboards he said".             ...

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women by Miabo Enyadike

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women  Drawing women and their expressions is something, I am truly interested in. Female profiles and faces in abstract is intriguing and Ink drawings, are a way for me to throw that notion out there, of a female portrait created differently.  This is something that is important to me as a woman artist, this matters.                                                                                                                 I draw faces in a way that is uncomplicated  and easy to read, in a rather caricature way though not comical, with ink, it is easy to let the colors flow so that they create for me, the facial contours and structure.  My emphasis...

Recycled Paper Art Inspiration and Ideas By Miabo Enyadike

 Art and Paper Inspiration Ideas   Craft will always be my first creative love, when my Art block comes I resort to making things, that  calm my nerves or create things that inspire me and take my mind gently back to art.                                                                               This time around I decided to work with Paper to create accessories and art that is appealing but inexpensive.  That would serve as both decor items and handmade gifts.                       Paper can be manipulated easily, it really does not pose any challenge just cut and paste.      I decided to drop by the craft store and pick up objects of interes...
