Abstract art can be rather non objective through the eyes of the artist and the viewers of the art piece. Abstract art can be paintings, clay sculptures, wood sculpture, stone carvings or basically with any object that the artist wants to use. There are cultures, such as the Islamic culture, who do not allow depictions of humans in any form when it comes to art pieces.
With today’s high-tech society, anyone can create their own abstract art. Abstract art pieces can be made with digital photography photos with the aide of Photoshop, with the use of digital cameras and the videos being uploaded to sites such as uTube and Associated Content, and even with the use of paint.
