What’s your style? 3 Personality Types That Determine Everything You Do:

Personal style is more than just the clothes you wear. It’s also your way of speaking, the kind of music you like and even your approach to life. Still, no matter what type of art you’re into, there’s a certain personality that goes with it. Read on to find out what personality type you are and how to improve your home décor according to your tastes.

Tone:matter-of-fact

There are three distinct types of personality that determine everything you do, says artist and teacher Belinda Parmar, and knowing which one you have will provide you with a valuable insight into how to get the most out of your art practice. Parmar’s theory is founded on the idea that each personality type responds to the external world in a particular way. The response can be categorized as “concrete,” “abstract” or “feeling.”

What’s your style? The three personality types are:

Concrete: If your response to the world is concrete, you will focus on what is happening around you, and express yourself using what you see as a starting point. You will trust facts and data and want things to be clear-cut, simple and straightforward. Abstract: If your response to the world is abstract, you will focus on feelings, emotions and ideas. You will place more emphasis on internal responses. Feeling: If your response to the world is feeling-based, you will focus on relationships within the environment, including people and animals. Your work will typically be quite personal, idealistic and concerned with how things feel rather than what they look like.

Tone:informative

There are three major categories of art styles out there: realism, impressionism and abstract. Each has its own set of rules, and each appeals to a different personality type. Understanding your personality will help you choose a style that is right for you, and this can help you with your artistic endeavors.

TIP: Don’t be discouraged by the idea that not all artists can be successful in each style. While it’s true most artists have a preference, there is really no limit to what you can accomplish as long as you put your mind to it.

TIPS: If you are on the fence about which style to try first, I suggest abstract because it is the easiest. This doesn’t mean it’s easy to become good at it though! It just means the barriers to entry are lower since it doesn’t have much in the way of technique or rules. You could even still consider doing realistic or impressionistic work while you learn, though I would suggest only trying one at a time as that can get confusing!

Realism – Realism means creating images that are very close to real life. Artists in this category strive for photo-realism and take great care to get things as accurate as possible. They want you to look at their image and mistake it

There are many different types of art and artists out there, from abstract and surreal to naturalistic and realistic. But which one is the best for you? Maybe it’s not what you think.

The way you see the world can determine your overall personality type. And in this sense, your art preferences might be a good indicator of what kind we are talking about here.

Let’s start with your senses. Sensory-based people tend to prefer decorative styles, such as impressionism, expressionism, and pop art – unless they are introverted intuitive personalities, in which case they may lean towards abstraction or surrealism. If your senses are underdeveloped, you’re likely to enjoy nature-based styles such as landscape painting or photograph realism.

Let’s move on to the creative process itself. Creative personalities usually enjoy abstract or surreal arts, since they don’t need a story to follow while they are looking at a piece of artwork. On the other hand, when it comes to realistic arts, creative personalities get bored rather quickly if the work is too accurate (the technical term here is “psychologically distant”).

Now let’s check out your ideal lifestyle: Do you like a routine or a more flexible schedule? Routine-oriented personalities tend to

The three personality types in the chart above have a lot of overlap.​ (Remember, this is a simplified model.) The Least Likely are sometimes Artisans and sometimes Guardians; some Artisans have Social Style, just as some Guardians have Analytical Style; and almost everyone in the world has both Guardian and Artisan tendencies.

TIP: If you’re having trouble deciding between two types, consider your basic values. If you value achievement, then you’re probably an Artisan. If you value harmony, then you’re probably a Guardian. But if you value both, then you’ll need to decide which one is more important to you.

The artist’s method of analysis is to take an existing style and use it as a starting point for creating a new style. This means that any stylistic innovation is likely to be made by someone who has already mastered the style he or she is innovating from.

A good way to get over this problem is to think about what you like best in the work of artists whose work you admire. Think of your favorite paintings, sculptures, buildings, songs, poems, movies, books, or dances. What do they have in common?

What are the qualities that make you love those works? What do they give you? How do they make you feel?

Those are qualities you can develop further in your own art. You can learn to paint landscapes like Monet or dance like Martha Graham or create poems like Emily Dickinson. Not by copying their work but by using it as a starting point and developing your own version of the style they exemplify.
