Dating from 2400 BC, archaeologists have found smooth, perfected and idealized features of the classical period in Sumerian art. Some of the portraits are in marble and others in black-grey diorite. Excavations have unearthed great skill and artistry in Sumerian art. Sumerian art was complex and ornate with clay being the most abundantly used material. Stone, wood and metal had to be imported into Sumer. Painting and sculpture was the main median used and art was primarily used for religious purposes.

Sumerian art had Three-dimensional statuettes made of marble with an obvious hierarchy of size. The tallest statues were of the vegetation God almost about 30 inches in height. A number of statutes and sculptures were religious and depicted the mother goddess. Mother goddesses were worshipped in the hope of bringing fertility to women and crops. These were the next tallest statues. Smaller than these were the priests and the smallest were the worshippers. All statues have their heads uplifted and hands clasped with cylindrical bodies devoid of any gender differentiation. The clasped hands are the pose of supplication or portraying 'wanting or waiting for something'. In Sumerian art the entire body of the statues is simple except the faces. This reinforces the power of the face with dominating eyes. The vast eyes would be inlaid with colored stones or enamel making them stand out.

These figures were stand ins used during religious rituals. The rituals involved leaving the stand-ins at the temple when a person died. These large eyed statues seemed to speak as they stared open eyed offering supplication to the gods on behalf of whoever donated them to the temples.

Another piece of Sumerian art was the standard or the banners, which was a part of the state. The figures on these banners pretty much summed up the Sumerian life in its entirety. One side of the banner had soldiers leading prisoners to the king, while the other side had a king holding a banquet and commoners bringing him gifts of livestock and farm produce and manufactured goods. This Sumerian art piece is 18 inches decorated with shell and lapis lazuli. The mosaic was designed in bitumen.

Sumerian merchants led their barley and textile filled caravans into Asia Minor and Iran returning with timber, stone and metals. Soon, these were used in making weapons and Sumerian art as well. The Sumerian art forms reflect on the culture and lifestyle of the ancient Sumerians.

It seems like most artists have this problem - they just want to be left alone to make art, to heck with all this other commercial stuff. The thing is, this is the first time I've ever felt like this in my artistic career.

Don't get me wrong; I love art, and I love making art. But for most of my life I've been more concerned with how my art was going to make me famous, rich, or both. I really didn't give much thought to the fact that I really didn't have much passion for the art I was creating; I fooled myself into thinking that I enjoyed the art that I thought would be most profitable. It wasn't until I started getting disillusioned with the art that I was creating that I realized that I had never stopped and tried to find art that I enjoyed doing...I was too focused on what I should enjoy doing. I stopped dead and went on a quest to find new ways of making art. My exploration into what art I really enjoy doing led me to digital abstract art. Abstract is something that I love exploring the potential of, yet it is an art form that I never understood, and never would have seen myself doing before. Yet once I committed to only doing art that I enjoyed, I learned that I completely love doing abstract art. Weird, huh?

What about you? Do you enjoy the art that you create, or have you let the inner demon or other people's expectations drag you into something that you really (if you are completely honest with yourself) don't like doing?

Did one of your parents want you to be a certain something? Are you too afraid of what so-and-so would think? Are you blinded by the attitude you've always had towards a certain type of art? You might be keeping yourself locked away from an exciting art form.

Why not try something completely new? If you want to try Digital abstract painting, sweet! It's so much fun, and well worth testing. Is it pixel art? Cool! Go learn a little about it, and if you don't end up liking it, who cares? Move on, then move on, then move on, until you find something you love. Don't hold on to things for too long, or you may be stuck in something you hate for years. Go find the art you love!

Painting as an art form has undergone several changes, especially during the 20th century, wherein a transition from figurative painting to abstract painting was the chief feature of the era. Renowned painter Pablo Picasso is generally believed to have ushered the shift from figurative to abstract painting. Picasso, along with George Braque, formulated a new pictorial representation known as cubism, wherein the artists depicted an object as seen from a different viewpoint.

Abstract art painting took a further leap in 1911 with the creation of synthetic cubism and analytical cubism. These forms of cubism fragmented the subject in the painting, for example, in analytical cubism, painters used crystalline geometry, while in synthetic cubism the subjects were reduced in size. Artists like Piet Mondrian, whose paintings ultimately led to the first non-figurative paintings or pure abstract art from 1914 onwards, pioneered such forms of cubist painting. In the twentieth century, Russian painter Wassily Kandisky pioneered non-figurative art.

Furthermore, in the 1940s, another form of abstract art called Abstract Expressionism emerged, in which the theory of expressionism was applied to abstract paintings. The art form had an enormous impact on contemporary American artists, with New York becoming the hub of Abstract Expressionism. Jackson Pollock in his action paintings used this technique of abstract expressionism wherein he dripped, dropped, smeared or threw paint onto the canvas to create an art object. Other well-known followers of Abstract Expressionism, also known as the New York School and Action Painting, are Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko.

Abstract art painting does not refer to any figurative reality; instead it depicts real forms in a simplified or reduced way, creating an allusion of the original subject.
