myself ( n.g.jhonzsonn),a creative painter from india. creative art allows me to explore intuitive intelligence and the expansion of pursuing creativity as an improvisational way. try to explore myself by depicting my dreams 'n' agonies of inner core and here are few oeuvres depicted with new motifs with improvised hues on vibrant palettes and wielded brushes where colours had been run wild to make a riot on canvases. these paintings are nestled between reality and dreams attempting to create a realistic interpretation of the subject matter focuses on revealing the expressive elements of light, texture, and hues. the use of color configurations and the art of transforming curvilinear forms to create varied motifs. it's an exploration of the unlimited potentiality of chromatic and tonal scales, visual planes to make this exposition meaningful.

thank you for experiencing my oeuvres.

NOV 25 -International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women

the theme of the day is 'Orange the World: End Violence against Women Now!'

it's celebrated every year on November 25. According to the United Nations, violence against women and girls (VAWG) manifests in several forms. From violence inflicted by an intimate partner to human trafficking and child marriage, there are several forms that cause trauma to women and girls across the world. 

The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women was issued by the UN General Assembly in 1993 and it states that violence against women is "any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life. "

Orange the World: End Violence against Women Now!

This year, the theme of the day is 'Orange the World: End Violence against Women Now!' Orange is a colour that represents a brighter future that is free of violence against women and girls. 

The UN states that nearly 1 in 3 women have been abused in their lifetime. According to a UN report, since the pandemic, 2 in 3 women have experienced some form of violence and are more likely to face food insecurity. The UN report, which compiled the data of 13 countries, added, "Only 1 in 10 women said that victims would go to the police for help. "

Some women are more vulnerable than others:

The UN says, "While gender-based violence can happen to anyone, anywhere, some women and girls are particularly vulnerable - for instance, young girls and older women, women who identify as lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex, migrants and refugees, indigenous women and ethnic minorities, or women and girls living with HIV and disabilities, and those living through humanitarian crises. "

Approximately 6,000 girls are subjected to female genital mutilation each day, and 30 percent of girls subjected to its most radical form die from the effects. Four million women are sold each year as slaves. In sub-Saharan Africa, 55 percent of HIV-infected adults are women, and teenage girls are five times more likely to be infected than boys. These numbers, gathered from a variety of sources and published by Global Women, an organization that supports the global ministry of women, are only the tip of an iceberg adrift in developing countries across the world.

The reality is grim. Women around the globe face problems like poverty, lack of education, lack of medical care, female genital mutilation, sex slavery and trafficking, female infanticide, the AIDS crisis, honor killings, dowry killings, a low value in Hindu and fundamental Muslim societies, abuse and displacement in war and, where employment is even available, poor working conditions.

When one is born with a creative gift, that creativity flows into many different areas. For example, Picasso was a painter, sculptor, ceramicist, poet, and playwright.

Art came about long before written works. Since the beginning of time, art has communicated ideas and kept records of important events. Art offers a connection to the past. Artists record our history, indelibly. They also unearth truths. Through their work, they tell stories and pass on traditions. Artists have a unique way of connecting to the people around them. In a world full of bad news, one of their most important roles is to offer messages of hope.

what is painting therapy?

The goal of painting therapy is to stimulate the body and mind alike through, as the name implies, artistic methods. It’s commonly used for seniors who have trauma, or illnesses such as Alzheimer’s. The use of art allows for an alternative method of communication for the elderly, especially when verbal speech is limited. Art is a more visual and sensory way for seniors to express themselves, and can help them lower stress, combat depression, feel a higher sense of well-being, and connect with memories they may otherwise have

forgotten.

painting therapy has proven to be a successful form of treatment for special children and kids with other behavioral, emotional or psychological issues. This type of therapy can be considered a psychotherapeutic service. It allows kids to express themselves in non-verbal ways through the use of art tools and supplies. This form of expression can tell a counselor many things. In fact, it provides a way for the child to communicate things they simply cannot say in words.

Children are encouraged to express their feelings through the art that they create in their session. In addition, they have the chance to learn social skills, gain cognitive growth, obtain coping mechanisms through the resolution of frustration and practice sensorimotor skills such as sensory stimulation and hand-eye coordination. In addition, practical skills are learned such as how to find and put away art supplies, ways in which to utilize certain tools and the importance of putting away their supplies and cleaning themselves up.

What are the Benefits of painting Therapy for Seniors and children with special needs?

The previously mentioned study, which took place at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, noted a higher quality of life for seniors participating in art therapy. Some positive effects of art therapy may include:

  • Reducing stress, confusion, and lowering the risk of depression;

  • Coping with traumatic memories through artistic expression;

  • Increasing cognitive function, and triggering previously forgotten memories;

  • A decrease in frailty and an increase in physical ability (creating art helps promote coordination, also decreases pain from diseases such as Arthritis)

  • Promoting a sense of accomplishment for seniors by creating something themselves;

  • Helping a senior learn to effectively use their hands when dealing with pain, through art projects such as knitting, painting, and drawing;

  • Promoting communication: elderly persons who have difficulty expressing themselves through verbal or written language may find art useful for connecting with loved ones, helping to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness;

  • Certain types of art may remind the elderly of their younger years;

  • Restoring many mental and physical functions, while providing a general sense of well-being.

  • Helped reduce pain, decrease symptoms of stress and improve quality of life in adult cancer patients.

  • stimulated mental function in older adults with dementia.

  • Indicated a reduction in depression in Parkinson's patients.

  • studies on art’s effects on the brain are limited. however, researches suggest that artistic engagement may help to ease common behavioral symptoms of dementia like anxiety, agitation and depression. It may also boost mood and self-esteem, and possibly help stimulate memory. by having a beneficial effect on those with Alzheimer’s, caregivers may find relief as well.

By the age of thirty, Dürer had completed or begun three of his most famous series of woodcuts on religious subjects: The Apocalypse (1498; 19.73.209, 18.65.8), the Large Woodcut Passion cycle (ca. 1497–1500), and the Life of the Virgin (begun 1500). He went on to produce independent prints, such as the engraving Adam and Eve (1504; 19.73.1), and small, self-contained groups of images, such as the so-called Meisterstiche (master engravings) featuring Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513; 43.106.2), Saint Jerome in His Study (1514), and Melencolia I (1514; 43.106.1), which were intended more for connoisseurs and collectors than for popular devotion. Their technical virtuosity, intellectual scope, and psychological depth were unmatched by earlier printed work.

More than any other northern European artist, Dürer was engaged by the artistic practices and theoretical interests of Italy. He visited the country twice, from 1494 to 1495 and again from 1505 to 1507, absorbing firsthand some of the great works of the Italian Renaissance, as well as the classical heritage and theoretical writings of the region. The influence of Venetian color and design can be seen in the Feast of the Rose Garlands altarpiece (1506; Národní Galerie, Prague), commissioned from Dürer by a German colony of merchants living in Venice. Dürer developed a new interest in the human form, as demonstrated by his nude and antique studies. Italian theoretical pursuits also resonated deeply with the artist. He wrote Four Books of Human Proportion (Vier Bücher von menschlichen Proportion), only the first of which was published during his lifetime (1528), as well as an introductory manual of geometric theory for students (Underweysung der Messung, 1525; 125.97 D932), which includes the first scientific treatment of perspective by a northern European artist.

Dürer’s talent, ambition, and sharp, wide-ranging intellect earned him the attention and friendship of some of the most prominent figures in German society. He became official court artist to Holy Roman Emperors Maximilian I and his successor Charles V, for whom Dürer designed and helped execute a range of artistic projects. In Nuremberg, a vibrant center of humanism and one of the first to officially embrace the principles of the Reformation, Dürer had access to some of Europe’s outstanding theologians and scholars, including Erasmus (19.73.120), Philipp Melanchthon, and Willibald Pirkheimer, each captured by the artist in shrewd portraits. For Nuremberg’s town hall, the artist painted two panels of the Four Apostles (1526; Alte Pinakothek, Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, Munich), bearing texts in Martin Luther’s translation that pay tribute to the city’s adoption of Lutheranism. Hundreds of surviving drawings, letters, and diary entries document Dürer’s travels through Italy and the Netherlands (1520–21), attesting to his insistently scientific perspective and demanding artistic judgment.

The artist also cast a bold light on his own image through a number of striking self-portraits—drawn, painted, and printed. They reveal an increasingly successful and self-assured master, eager to assert his creative genius and inherent nobility, while still marked by a clear-eyed, often foreboding outlook. They provide us with the cumulative portrait of an extraordinary Northern European artist whose epitaph proclaimed: “Whatever was mortal in Albrecht Dürer lies beneath this mound.”
