As a member of the Etsy Treasury Team I've benefited from the advice, knowledge and opinions of a truly talented group. Luckily for you all - this blog is a place that you can benefit from the knowledge of our team as well.
Almost a year ago now, etsy added more listing options. One of these options is choosing two styles that your creation fits in. Well – a few of these styles I know, but I really feel that I need to do some research on them to feel more comfortable with my labeling. Lucky you – you get to come along for the ride.
I’m going to go right down the list – define each style and then show examples of them. Hopefully, once I’m done I’ll feel more comfortable choosing my styles and you will too!
Style: ABSTRACT
Abstract art, nonfigurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art are loosely related terms. They are similar, although perhaps not of identical meaning.

And here are just a few examples of some abstract work I found on etsy:
Large Original Painting Abstract Texture from tjenkinsarts
Pottery Bowl Earthenware Clay Escher Fish in Purple, Blue and Green / Hand Thrown by Clay Lick Creek Pottery
Original abstract contemporary fine art palette knife floral painting by Nicolette Vaughan Horner

Kim,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea. I am always stuck on what I should pick in this section! I am looking forward to reading more of your posts.

I too look forward to your posts on this topic. I have wondered for awhile what certain styles are. I usually just stick to what I know. Now, I will be able to branch out a bit.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteA terrific idea, Kim -- choosing which style usually gives me fits! Thanks so much -- can't wait to learn more!
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteThis is so helpful. Some of the styles they list I have no idea what they mean. A picture really is worth a thousand words.
Great abstract choices! It's sometimes hard to figure out what styles to choose. Guess I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing this series. :)
