What's your "Style"?

Contributed by:  Kim of Kim's Crafty Apple

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.
