Street Art Tour: Melbourne Street Art Culture

This photo was taken when I went to Melbourne's alleyways for the tour of street art for my school excursion. For me, it was absolutely breathtaking to see this artwork being displayed on the wall as if I walked into an big, art gallery only this time it is out on the open for locals and tourists to see and visit and take photos. No wonder I am not surprised that Melbourne is the street art capital of the world and it is amazing how much color that there is on the wall. These talented street artists turned this blank canvas into a huge masterpiece and for them to make all that hard work and effort and putting their heart and soul into these types of artwork and for that I owe them a debt of gratitude. What I saw that day, was very vivid and vibrant and the artists took risks by clashing the two brightest colors which were (in this image) pink and bright yellow and it actually made a dramatic effect on the work which I thought it worked well in the end.  A lot of street art when I have been shown during the tour was very contrasting and it capture the main focal point which was to see what the image was about and I felt the theme was dominating the street art scene during the tour. It might be different now but I still feel it will be the same once I go back into the alleyway and see what's changed. I hope this post might recommend you to visit to alleyways in Melbourne and take in the street art culture which we proudly have in this wonderful city of ours. <3 S xo

Welcome to The Artistic Effect

Hey Beautiful People, this me Steph and this is my new blog called "The Artistic Effect". The reason behind me creating a new blog is because lately I have been inspired by posts on Instagram and Facebook about how people used their artistic talents to create wonderful masterpieces. My favourite is fashion illustration because you put a lot of soul and work into the designs of clothes whether be for haute couture week or fashion week or lookbooks but the love and passion for these artists are what drives me, what inspires me to keep me going when I have nothing to do on the weekdays when I get home from school or on the weekends. So, in this blog I will post images of my sketches, final pieces of artwork, school art, fashion illustrations and drawings, my folio progress, tips and tricks for art, color theory, theory of art, art tips of the day, my reference images and so forth. So I hope you had a chance at looking at my new blog. I know there will be nothing there at the moment, but throughout the year and the future years to come. This blog will blow up filled with exciting things about my art, your art and everything that involved creating something (crafts are also included too!!).  See you all soon for my first post!!!! Love S xo
