The importance of the Classical Art (14)

# data[].attributes.body
As you can see classical art has always been a favored artform throughout many periods of time.I can only assume that us humans as a whole desire the natural body.There are also some characteristics of classical art like balanced focus or proportion accuracy that make Classical art place a key theme on what is natural.

Another reason why this artform is favored among many people is because it allows artists to express their natural selves.Through classical art they can express themselves in the most natural form they see.This make their motives of expression transparent.

Although it can be hard to describe this is a work of Dada/surrealism.This is because this is an expression of my subconscious.When I started drawing on my paper,it was as if I wasn't thinking and my hand was moving it self.

This is merely my expression of Dada or surrealism,anyones version of Dada and surrealism can be varied wildly base on your mind or subconscious.So you are not bound by anything but your mind.
