This practice is common during the fairs or in the public parks. Children and the teenagers paint their faces. There are many forms of face paintings such as the tiger, the spider, the butterfly, the cat, the clown and the cartoon characters. The materials which are used during the process of painting should be safe. It is necessary to have no toxic or allergic reactions. It is preferable to test the materials of paintings in small area of the skin before using it.
The space of body painting is very generous. It just needs creative minds and the people who love their bodies apart of art. It can spell some magic into the lookers to these beautiful bodies. It stirs the different emotions towards these masterpieces. Body paintings can add some warmness into the relationships between the lovers. It can changes the dump bodies into live ones. Body painting is simply the unity between human beings and the art itself.

Body painting is a form of expression used by people who like to be naked to communicate feelings and ideas about the human body by using the body itself as the canvas. Such ideas may sometimes be of a sexual nature, but that is only a small part of the possible range of thoughts that can be expressed. In fact, the expanded possibilities for self expression that are possible when one doesn’t wear clothes form one of the chief attractions of being naked for some people.
Only the best in their professions teach the classes. And because you never finish learning, the workshops offer possibilities not only for beginners, also for advanced artists to further their knowledge. Group arrangements for schools can be organized on request. There are a number of different contests (including a nighttime competition designed to showcase stunning UV effects) workshops, audience participation, music and performances and a massive fireworks show to enjoy

Creativity with proper identification
Friday, February 13, 2009
Body paints had been used in different purposes. For costumes, army camouflage, an intimidator (for athletes), fashion shows, and for promotional purposes.
The photo (above) of an Asian girl body painted in a “qípáo“ or a mandarin gown, (which by the way is one of the best “body paint” art I’ve seen so far) shows an example of a perfect body paint, matching the whole “Chinese” deigned theme with her Asian looks and semi-petite body figure, making it look like as if she was wearing a real “qípáo” as the dragon figure perfectly covers her breasts’ figure making it look sexy, but in an artistic way. Truly a work of art.
Body Painting combines creativity with the proper identification of ones natural body figures to envision, and apply a design that would perfectly compliment the whole art and the body itself.
