Body Painting Art Female

In fact, we love our bodies to painting since prehistoric times. In the past we used to paint the body with natural materials such as paints, coatings and pigments. In some cases, we used ash and mud, too.

The brands that people make on their bodies are thought to be magical powers that could ward off evil spirits or enemy tribes. That was the thinking in the past. Body painting was designed to celebrate occasions like New Year at low prices or a dance. The same practice still observed in indigenous populations of countries like New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands and parts of Africa.

In India, women and men are happy with the henna. It is a color of a henna plant are derived, is also known as mehandi. This form of henna body painting is a way in India and the Middle East for many years. People make their hands and legs and other parts of the body with henna ceremonies such as weddings at affordable prices. The use of henna or mehandi has been popular in Western countries, starting in the last two decades.

The art of body painting is not a new phenomenon in the countries of South America as well. People here have made use of local materials, paint their bodies and body parts. They use the wet coal and other materials in the vicinity. In some parts of America, a material is known to be used as Huito to paint the faces and bodies. Huito is a black dye, and it takes weeks to disappear.

The Beauty of Body Paint Art

Since the beginning of time people have always had the desire to make art. It is born from this desire body painting, the human body, on the cloth. The history of this craft dates back to the point that historians consider the oldest form of art. Compared to other forms of body art like tattoos or piercing, are perishable. It only takes a couple of hours at most.

In the ancient tribes were often at important ceremonies and festivals. Each color has its own meaning. Chiefs and warriors had often show their style, their status in the tribe. In the 12 th century a new type of body painting known as Mehendi popular. The Mehendi is an ancient ritual that originated in Egypt. And 'the art of henna body painting. This type of dye usually lasts a little 'longer, about 1-2 weeks before fading. Native to South America had its own way of decorating their bodies. They would wet coal as Huit known. As a semi-permanent henna Huit has for the last few weeks.

In modern times this is a way of self-realization. This is driven by the generosity of modern society. As for the nudity was considered by society as unfair and wrong Look, it's something. Under the guise of self-realization and practice of human freedom, an agent, attracted the attention of the public. This is particularly effective in protests and demonstrations. Instead of signs and placards, the protesters would not have been painted.

The art of body painting can transform a person into a beautiful work of art. There may be a statement that words alone can not deliver attractive presentation and add meaning and significance of an important event. It is used not only for the living, but also to preserve the dead. It is really world-class, which will last until the end of time.

Body Painting Festivals in the World

Dragonmen, Alien sirens, fire dancers Barebacked fantastic Santa Claus, and even painting a Labrador, you can see all this and more is fabulous festival of body painting that now occur each year worldwide.

There is a wide range of body painting festival hours. All bodies are painted, of course, all this with a kind of races, but rather a skill set and size in different festivals, and some are more "families" of others.

Here's a quick look at the first festival of body painting six years in which they occur and what you can expect to find:

1. Body Painting Festival World

Included in this festival some of the most interesting professional body painting can be seen in today's world. A three-day program includes demonstrations of dance, music and fireworks, and many competitions. Many paintings of a body should fall under the category of "art" of the body with some of the paintings of dancers alone, I think this challenge. A great event and well worth traveling for.

Where: Seeboden, Austria
Duration: Three days
These events include: the world championships in three categories: competition night for the effects of UV, Special Effects awards, courses and workshops; BodyCircus (fantasy ball) on the music and dance, an international photo competition, and a large fireworks.
Line art: One of the best, with a surprising range of styles and themes surprising.
For families, it is not clear, but it is in Europe, it is unlikely that the prohibition of 18. However, keeping the body painting that looks like families, as some others.

2. The Canadian Body Painting Festival

This is another festival that showcases the body painting artist did a great job. The quality of art here is similar to that seen in the World Body Painting Festival. Theme of the Festival each year, with the latest about "a jungle out there." Also included are Body Painting Championships.

Where: Nanaimo, British Columbia
Duration: two days
These events include: body painting contest, in general, a brush and sponge, airbrush and, along the Canadian Body Painting Championship
Artist Series: The most fascinating and one of the best in general. Images very realistic and fantastic Double-Take.
Family friendly: not specified - it is useful to make a first call.

3. The International Body Painting Festival

The festival takes place in Mainz, a city with over two thousand years of history. It is situated on the Rhine, has strong Celtic roots and can be determined by the Romans in 13 BC. When I think that body painting has a long history here, if you remember the Celtic tradition of painting their bodies before going into battle. Once again, the artistry and the range is attractive to the international festival.

Location: Mainz, Germany
Duration: Weekend Festival
These events include: Competitions include face painting and special effects
Artist Series: Beautiful, strong artistic ability.
Family: Unknown, but again, is in Europe. I would call ahead.

4. Welsh International Festival of Body Painting
The festival is a little "younger and less established that the top 3, but it has some wonderful works of art because they are just the beginning. The environment is even more" fun "orinted, less" high art "and family participation is strongly encouraged. A big party to consider if you want to do a family trip and see a wonderful job in the process.
Where: Wales (of course)
Duration: two days
Events include hands on demonstrations, flower specialists and experts fear
Artist Series: Alto, and surprisingly for a small event, not like some other mysterious or creative
Childcare: All right, in fact, they encourage families and the camp, an "all ages and environmental events designed for young participants

5. UK Body Painting Festival

The festival features some less impressive - even if the body painting is more ridiculous, but I must say that it is not shown as "high art" an enclosed area, but rather a kind of circus or ride the County Fair for the whole family. Fun, relaxed and not self-conscious allows for some more amazing body art and purely "fun" is seen. If you are not a dummy, and want to get your body painted without worrying about the offensive remarks, may be a good choice for you.

Where: Ashford, United Kingdom
Duration: two days
The following events: face painting at family friendly, body painting contest for professional and amateur categories, craft fair, children's activities, workshops, and a "bouncy castle.
Artist Series: Frequently, more than a family outing with lots to do in a show of spectacular art.
For families: Very high, how to advertise a family event. Lowest cost of all body painting festivals - like a movie ticket.

6. The U. S. Bodypainting Festival (or the New Mexico Body Painting Bodypainting Festival / Contest U.S.)

There are certainly some wonderful body painting can be seen in the celebration, and many changes in the creative design and hair are not unusual seen anywhere else yet. One example springs to mind is a model dressed in the theme of racing cars with red hair, white and blue splashed behind it seemed to fly in the air. Also, if you're in the U.S., then that obviously does not need a ticket. However this is not a family outing, as clear as the prohibition to children under 18.

Where: Alberquerque, New Mexico
Duration: Three days
These events include demonstrations, workshops, contests, body painting
Artist Series: low Well, there is a mix of artistic works of great beauty and things best left unpainted, although this is "interesting".
Family: Not at all. We are in U. S. Remember, no one under 18 allowed.

Afghanistan in the 1950's and 1960's

This is Afganistan of 50s and 60s. Lots of people would think that they will see pictures of wild, underdeveloped and medieval country with lif econditions worse than now. Oh well, think again.

Mohammad Qayoumi, president of California State University, East Bay, writes in Foreign Policy:
On a recent trip to Afghanistan, British Defense Secretary Liam Fox drew fire for calling it "a broken 13th-century country." The most common objection was not that he was wrong, but that he was overly blunt. He's hardly the first Westerner to label Afghanistan as medieval. Former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince recently described the country as inhabited by "barbarians" with "a 1200 A.D. mentality." Many assume that's all Afghanistan has ever been -- an ungovernable land where chaos is carved into the hills. Given the images people see on TV and the headlines written about Afghanistan over the past three decades of war, many conclude the country never made it out of the Middle Ages.

But that is not the Afghanistan I remember. A half-century ago, Afghan women pursued careers in medicine; men and women mingled casually at movie theaters and university campuses in Kabul; factories in the suburbs churned out textiles and other goods. There was a tradition of law and order, and a government capable of undertaking large national infrastructure projects, like building hydropower stations and roads, albeit with outside help. Ordinary people had a sense of hope, a belief that education could open opportunities for all, a conviction that a bright future lay ahead. All that has been destroyed by three decades of war, but it was real.

1. The physical campus of Kabul University, pictured here, does not look very different today. But the people do. In the 1950s and '60s, students wore Western-style clothing; young men and women interacted relatively freely. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


2. Today, women cover their heads and much of their bodies, even in Kabul. A half-century later, men and women inhabit much more separate worlds. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


3. In the 1950s and '60s, women were able to pursue professional careers in fields such as medicine. Today, schools that educate women are a target for violence, even more so than five or six years ago. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


4. When I was growing up, education was valued and viewed as the great equalizer. If you went to school and achieved good grades, you'd have the chance to enter college, maybe study abroad, be part of the middle class, and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. Education was a hallowed value. Today, I think people have become far more cynical. They do not see the link between education and a better life; they see instead that those who have accumulated wealth and power have not done so through legitimate means. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


5. This infant ward in a Kabul hospital in the 1960s contrasts sharply with one I visited in 2004 in Mazar-e-Sharif. There I found two babies born prematurely sharing the same incubator. That hospital, like many in Afghanistan today, did not have enough equipment. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


6.In the 1960s, about half of Afghanistan's people had access to some level of medical care; now a much smaller percentage do. Today's hospitals are crowded, the facilities limited; nearly one in four babies born in Afghanistan today does not reach its fifth birthday. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


7. Above is a vaccine research center attached to a Kabul hospital in the 1960s. Today, medical care across the country is limited by several factors, including lack of electricity. Less than 20 percent of Afghans have access to electricity; many homes are lit by kerosene lamps, with only fans running to combat the heat. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


8. The central government of Afghanistan once oversaw various rural development programs, including one, pictured here, that sent nurses in jeeps to remote villages to inoculate residents from such diseases as cholera. Now, security concerns alone make such an effort nearly impossible. Government nurses, as well as U.N. and NGO medical workers, are regular targets for insurgent groups that merely want to create disorder and terror in society. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


9.Afghanistan once had Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. In the 1950s and '60s, such programs were very similar to their counterparts in the United States, with students in elementary and middle schools learning about nature trails, camping, and public safety. But scouting troops disappeared entirely after the Soviet invasions in the late 1970s. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


10. This movie theater was located near where I once lived, and we could even see Hollywood movies there. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


11. A playground a few hundred yards away from the theater, where mothers used to take their children to play. Now, only men loiter in the city parks; it is unsafe to bring children outside. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


12. Light and medium industry, like this metal shop in the Kabul suburbs, once held great promise for Afghanistan's economy. But today, how could you run such an operation without ample electricity? Now there are only small shops, people who work at home -- no major industrial centers. Currently, Afghanistan's chief export is opium. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


13. With German assistance, Afghanistan built its first large hydropower station, pictured here, in the early 1950s. At the time, it was state of the art. It is still in operation, but unfortunately, in the last eight years, Afghanistan's government has not been able to build a single large power plant of any kind. The only sizable accomplishment has been the expansion of a transport line to Uzbekistan so that power can be imported from the north. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


14. Afghanistan did have medium and light industry, such as the textile factory pictured here. There was a sense then that Afghanistan had a bright future -- its economy was growing, its industry on par with other countries in the region. Back then, most of the cotton processed in a plant like this was grown locally. But three decades of war have destroyed industry and the supply chain. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


15. Compared with the 1950s and '60s, fewer women work outside the home, and their outfits are much more conservative than what you see here. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


16. If you flipped through the radio dial in the 1960s, you would hear broadcasts of world news, local news, music programs, funny skits, political discourse, maybe an art program, a children's show. Radio Kabul, a state-run station whose old offices are pictured here, was launched in the 1930s. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


17. Modern Afghanistan actually has a greater number of private radio stations, as well as broadcast and satellite television shows. This is one bright spot. But access to radio and TV depends on electricity, and so in a practical sense, the audience is therefore limited. Only the most well-to-do families have private generators to ensure uninterrupted electricity to power electrical devices. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


18. During the annual commemoration of Afghanistan's independence, Kabul was lit up at night in late August and early September for nine evenings in the early 1960s. Now the city is dark. Even driving at night gives an eerie feeling. There are hardly any lights on; the streets are desolate, and there is no night life. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


19. Clothing boutiques like these were a familiar feature in Kabul. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


20. So, too, were record stores, bringing the rhythm and energy of the Western world to Kabul teenagers. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


21. Today, furniture stores like this one are a rarity. Most furniture is manufactured outside Afghanistan, and only a small percentage of Afghans now have even simple furniture like this in their homes. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


22. Today it is only the fruit bazaars that still look the same. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


23. The education level of Afghanistan's cabinet today is far less than it was 50 years ago, when this photo was taken. Back then, most high-ranking government officials would have had master's or doctoral degrees. Western dress was the norm. These days, government meetings in Kabul are conducted among men, many with long beards, big turbans, and traditional garb. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)


24. Afghanistan's once strong and functional defensive forces are today only a memory. After the Soviets left, Pakistan was instrumental in destroying the country's armed services. Since the 1990s civil war, the subsequent Taliban takeover, and the U.S.-led intervention, domestic security forces have proved extremely difficult to build, even as security remains a top concern. (MOHAMMAD QAYOUMI)
