What is behavior art?

What is behavior art?

A Chinese term that describes performance art. This concept is relatively new and may be challenging to articulate unless people understand the intentions behind it. It is a flexible concept that emphasizes everyday, common, and community-focused elements. The art form is heightened, refined, and reflective of how people behave, move, and live.

Tempera

Tempera is a paint traditionally made by mixing colored pigments with egg yolk. It dries quickly and is highly durable, with some examples dating back to 100 AD still in existence. Modern tempera paint often uses glue size as a binder instead of egg yolk. Tempera is known for its bright colors and fine, detailed application, making it popular for panel paintings and icons.

Plastic

Plastic is a material made from synthetic or organic compounds that can be molded into various shapes. It became a popular medium for artwork in the 20th century. Plastics can be cut, shaped, assembled, and painted with acrylics, making them versatile for creating new objects and art forms.

Found objects

Found objects (or objet trouvé in French) are everyday items that an artist finds and incorporates into a work of art. While collectors have displayed aesthetically pleasing objects for centuries, modern art often uses objects that originally had non-artistic functions, such as recycled or repurposed materials.
