25 Art Forms to try and Artists who already use them.
There’s a lot of different art forms, medias and types of art that are used everyday. Many people pretty much stick to one or two during the course of their painting life, but I would challenge you to pick up a few more and try them before you settle on just a few choices.
So I’ve started a list of Art Forms and Artists who use them.
My list is now at 25, but I’d love to feature you and your unique art form too if you have something different from what is listed.
These are in no particular order, but have fun exploring each and checking out each artists work.

Hey, thanks for the link, William!
This will be the first time that I have appeared on a list with Jackson Polllock (other than a Google crawler, that is). Get out my red letter pen for the calendar…

At twenty five a month it could be a few months before it gets hard, but what then? :-P Let us know if you need help, I am sure several of us can throw out a few and at least one artist who uses it! ~Danelle

Hi William,
You have me listed as an artist who does glass etching. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried it, yet. I just discussed glass etching in my blog. I also saw a really cool glass pendant that was etched.
I still plan on giving it a try, but right now I am fusing glass art pieces. You can see my glass art at: http://www.mastersglassart.com/products289162.html
Thanks for including me in your artist list and different art forms!
Christine
