What is Dust Art?
Dust Art is a form of art that simply uses common dust as a medium of expression. Household dust, outdoor dust or any form of monsters is a potential material for the art of dust. Work can be two- or three-dimensional, creating representative and abstract images.
Two -dimensional dust art is produced using various tools, including fingers, brushes and any pointed tool that can create shapes and lines. Shading can be done by scratching the dust away to reveal the surface under it. The use of different pressure on dust areas also helps to provide a number of dark and light tones.
