The Signs as Art Styles

Aries: Impressionism. Aries have a fascination and love for nature and colors, which is shown a lot in impressionism. They live in the moment and like to be present in time, instead of worrying about the past or future.
Taurus: Fauvism. Many Taurus's love expressing themselves. From wearing t-shirts with their favorite band or movie on it, to making their own stories or music. Artists that used Fauvism in their art use their art to express themselves. They are much like Taurus's in that aspect.
Gemini: Surrealism. A Gemini loves to explore their mind, delving into the depths of their creativity and learning all about themselves. Surrealism is all about exploring the unconscious mind, which is what Gemini's would love to do if they were artists.
Cancer: Naturalism. Cancers like to read people, and they drown themselves in their own emotions. Naturalism shows a range of expressions, gestures, and postures. A Cancer is much like art in Naturalism.
Leo: Cubism. Cubism was the first style of abstract art, and like a Leo would do, it started something new. Leo's are trend setters - they are not followers. They tend to look beyond what they see, and discover new things that they enjoy, they don't just look at what everyone else is doing.
Virgo: Dadaism. Virgo's are rebels. They don't like to follow the rules and they like to disobey, in order to prove a point. Dadaism was created out of anger for how things were at the time, in terms of the social and political state of the country. A Virgo would love looking into the history of Dadaism.
Libra: Post Impressionism. Libra's like to be independent. They don't care what the biggest trend is, they don't care how many friends they have - as long as they're happy. Post Impressionists were a small group of individuals who created their own independent styles, just like how Libra's and their group have similarities, but they are fully themselves.
Scorpio: Photorealism. Scorpios are blunt, upfront, and honest. Which sometimes makes them look like an asshole. Photorealism is a very realistic form of painting/drawing, which is like a Scorpio in the way that they're real and don't tell you lies.
Sagittarius: Abstract Art. Sagittarius are creative and imaginative, they like to look deeper into the things they see. They like to be interesting and they like people to want to ask questions. Abstract Art is just that - creative, imaginative, and it provokes questions. What does it mean? What is it? Some of these questions can be answered, some can't. Just the same as a Sagittarius.
Capricorn: Pop Art. Capricorns are fun, lively people who live freely and enjoy the little things in life. Pop Art started in the 1950's and 60's, bringing some light to the post war atmosphere that took over the US. Capricorns do the same thing, they try to lighten up anyone who needs - or even doesn't need - a little happiness in their life.
Aquarius: Scenic Art. A scenic artist has many skills, and can make their art using many different tools. Aquarius have different skills and they have many different traits - and most people enjoy a few of them. They're very likable and they work well with others, just as scenic art can conform to anyone's aesthetic needs.
Pisces: Expressionism. Pisces look into themselves. They, like Taurus's, love expressing themselves - but in a more emotional way. They don't hide their feelings and they're open to those they're close with. Expressionists used self expression in their art and showed themselves through what they created.

And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations, it’s this: I was here. I existed. I was young, I was happy.. and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture. - check my instagram for more pics! Paolo Raeli

How I Make My Stomach Stop Growling - Ana Tip #2

1) Take appetite suppressants! That could be diet soda, tea, coffee or just water.

2) Breathe with my stomach rapidly for like 15 seconds. Make sure your tummy is going in and out, instead of your chest going up and down.

3) If you’re lying down; don’t lay on your back! instead, lay on your side. When you lay on your back, your stomach sinks downwards and looks thinner, but for me, it also makes my stomach growl.

Get to know your own body, and find out what works for you!
