Gen-z’s hands-on palettes and brushes

But are they hands-on with their approach?

As a writer, journaling seems the most standard way to let out feelings and balance out thoughts. Recently, I was struck with a situation where I needed to organize everything in my mind. Surprisingly, that day, I picked up the pen and started doodling. What came out as one-of-a-kind yet identifiable image imprints, helped me gain a perspective about the whole thing i.e. the overburdening thoughts as well as what art means to humankind.

Similarly, many Gen-Z individuals choose art as a creative approach to self-description. Many of them form part of the infamous aesthetic enthusiasts who believe in further pioneering curation via means of formation, placement, and adding beautifying elements. Owing to this generation being 51% more creative than the millennials, they are seen dwelling into further depths of fine arts. Here's everything that you need to know:

They value everything that has already been around.

This generation is an elite plagiarism checker before youthful thinkers. They strive for authenticity and head-on with calling out whoever is concerned if any fault is found. They value the realness of the art piece not just to understand it thoroughly but also to acknowledge the efforts of the artist. This fact-checking is contributed using the sources of the internet connecting the world. In no time do they have every information they need for what is a Picasso original or not to further information regarding its creation. Want to know about Albrecht Dürer’s Apocalypse Series?

Their aspiration remains in their inspiration.

This generation knows that to excel in any field, they are required to learn all that's already there. Especially when it comes to art. They ensure that they understand it thoroughly not only while purchasing but while creating as well. They believe in going into the intricacies of anything and then reciprocating the same in the art they form. For example, my 13-year-old niece resorted to understanding all four views of the Eiffel Tower while drawing, when, in my defense, all of them look the same. They believe in learning the intricacies and further adding layers to create their masterpiece.

These creators create new forms of creation.

This generation might have converted the traditional pen, brush, and paper to pen tools, brush tools, and blank spreadsheets, but they have nothing but advanced forms of their creations. While some might see this in the form of meme creations, a lot of them use this as a source to create their digital masterpiece. This pixel-based artistry starts with digital illustrations, 3D art and modeling, graphic designing, and even manga & anime art. It has certainly come to the beholder's eye to visualize their art forms and convert them to digital imprints, which remain much more detailed, with infinite scalability, limitless color precision, and non-destructive editing. Recently, the internet has seen many such art sensations like Abhishek Samal, Vidushi Yadav, and Sangeetha Alwar, who haven't only created a huge fanbase, but their art pieces carry much deeper value.

They are the practitioners of their ideology and further relatability.

Gen Z sticks to what suits them. They believe a lot in understanding themselves, and it is the only way to resolve their struggles and insecurities. To do so, a lot of self-identification comes via the means of depiction of what's currently on an individual's mind. This also remains a further important funda into crafting a tapestry of art. Gen Z proves to be great visualizers who can beautifully transpire the same on a piece of paper (or in their case, digital screens). Self-depiction often remains a way of creating art with layered meanings. It does not only craft a ‘worth-understanding’ painting but also a mirror for others to sometimes reflect and relate to. The viewer tends to see it from their perspective, further driving a lasting impression on their minds as well.

They are the marketplace.

While some art can't be placed with a price tag, a few art pieces are created from a commercial point of view. That's where a Gen-Z opens their door, all puns intended. Owing to their ideology inspired by Ariana Grande, they resort to ‘I see it, I like it, I want it, I get it.’ If the art piece resorts well with the individual and they see a sense of its inherent value or even approachability to their sense, they are willing to offer a blank cheque for the same. Tahira Chawla is one such art collector who has amazing social media connectivity as well, and who doesn't hold back from showcasing eye-gazing contemporary artistries.

Art is no longer confined to galleries.

What seemed as limited access using only a few stops for the one interested, this generation finds art everywhere. This does not merely involve locating ancient art forms but also implying their ways of creation. This generation seeks to take inspiration from everything around them. They resort to implying their everyday life as well as their day-to-day experience through art, much more taking the art form to its origin. Their tapestry, while showcasing what the artist saw, will be observed as everything around for everyone. This won't make their art basic but a task to make it more meaningful by adding depth to the commonality.

In the hands of Gen-Z, art is always going to be about creation utilizing blending traditionalism while adding what resorts to their self-expression. They might bring about revolutions in forms, types, and ways of art, but their value for the same will just be glorified. In pursuit of creation, this generation won't only have a profound impact but also further globalize what was once limited to a particular community. In all of these, the value of art will never die but just be amplified by time. Hence, safe to say, that our tapestry is in safe hands.
