Push Pin Art

Posted by Surfie 55 days ago

When you think of art, you probably think of art created using traditional media such as oil or acrylic paints, watercolors, charcoal or graphite pencils, or sculputural media such as clay, stone, or metal. But have you ever seen art made out of PUSH PINS? These works of art use a technique that allows pixelation to guide the placement of the pins. Much like with Pointillism, the varied placement of different colors of push pins allows the viewer to see a wide range of colors. For instance, the artist may use a combination of blue and yellow push pins in a section of the work to create the perception of green. Up close the viewer would see the individual colors, but from a distance the colors would seem to blend to create a completely different perspective.
