The
Flash Mob Revolution
Usually,
when you see a live show or attend some kind of artistic event, you plan to do
it beforehand: You see it advertised, reserve a ticket and then go along to the
venue at a specific time and date. The audiences of flash mobs, however, do
none of these things because they are completely unaware that they are about to
see something special! In fact, it's the surprise element of flash mobs that
have made them such a popular form of performance in recent years.
A flash mob
is a group of people who gather suddenly and seemingly spontaneously in a
specific public place and who then perform some kind of act together before
suddenly parting ways again. The act could be anything from dancing, singing,
having a pillow-fight or even just standing still like a statue. Whatever it
is, it's meant to seem like it came out of nowhere for the shocked and amused
people who witness it.
Another
interesting aspect of a flash mob is that the participants are not trained
actors, dancers or performance artists, they might not have attended any
rehearsals together and it's quite possible they may never have even met each
other before! What makes these events possible in these cases is the power of
social media. Flash mobs can be organised very easily, and in secret, using
only the Internet.
Since the
first flash mobs happened in New York
in 2003, they have been happening at airports, shopping centres and town
squares all over the world. Their aims can range from artistic expression and
light entertainment to political protest or charity awareness. Lots of
businesses use flash mobs as a promotional tool, too, because they’re an
effective way to catch the attention of the media.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN
ARTWORK
6 Oil
paints can help an artist create very realistic pictures. All you need are the
paints, brushes and a canvas. Working with oils is a difficult skill and takes
a lot of practice, but if you are patient you can get amazing results!
7 Drawing
is very easy and inexpensive. Artists around the world have used drawing to
capture all sorts of images and ideas. It’s a lot cleaner and easier than oil
painting as with a simple pad of paper and a pencil you can create beautiful
pictures using a range of different techniques.
8 For a
challenge, why not try working in 3D? Materials like wood, stone and clay can
be used to make beautiful artwork. For thousands of years, artists have made
statues with all sorts of tools. From Ancient Egypt to modern times, sculpting
and carving have played a major role in the history of art. Try it for yourself
and create something totally different and unique.
