The ‘World Body Painting Festival 2009’ ended a couple of weeks ago in Austria. The celebration has been fashioned to promote the art of body painting, support artists all over the world and finally to encourage fair trade between artists and companies. It has been around since October 2001 and involves a show that mixes music, dance, choreography and a circus to parade the body designs. The competition is distinguished by categories; brush-sponge, airbrush, special effects, fluoro effects and face painting then results are giving based on 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners.
The idea is for professional body painters or painters who paint for a hobby to show off their skills and be appreciated for their talents. By looking at pictures of some models online, it’s clear that there’s a multitude of talented artists that take part in the event and have been given a good opportunity to show the public what they are capable of. The style of each model depends on the medium, what you can do with that medium and what sort of effect you desire.
The brilliant feature of the festival is that the association holds an academy to help people develop skills so that they are able to body paint and eventually take part in the festival. The academy includes painting and airbrushing workshops, lectures and demos and special effects therefore individuals can be given the basic skills and then cultivate their own style. It’s difficult to tell you what different designs appear in the festival so it’s worth having a look at the website.
