Art Classes in October 2025: Abstract Art, Sculpture, and Modern Art Guides
When you're exploring abstract art, a form of visual expression that doesn’t rely on realistic representation but instead uses color, shape, and texture to convey emotion. Also known as non-representational art, it’s one of the most accessible ways to start creating without formal training. You don’t need to know how to draw a perfect face or copy a landscape to make powerful work. All you need is a brush, some paint, and the willingness to let feeling guide your hand. That’s exactly what the posts from October 2025 focus on—cutting through the noise and giving you real, doable ways to start making art, no matter your experience.
But abstract art doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s part of a bigger conversation about modern art, a movement that broke from tradition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, prioritizing emotion, experimentation, and new ways of seeing over technical perfection. Also known as contemporary art in some circles, though they’re not the same thing—contemporary art, the art being made right now, often using digital tools, installations, and unconventional materials—you’ll find both clearly explained side by side. You’ll also see how sculpture, three-dimensional art made from materials like clay, metal, or even recycled plastic fits into this world, whether you’re asking what the most expensive sculpture ever sold is or how to build one for free using scrap wood and wire. And if you’re wondering how to turn your art into income, there are guides on portrait painting, custom artwork commissioned from an artist, priced based on size, medium, and skill level that break down exactly what you’ll pay in 2025, and how to sell prints without getting ripped off.
What ties all these posts together? They’re not theory-heavy lectures. They’re practical, no-fluff answers to real questions artists ask: How do I start? What should I charge? What materials actually work? You’ll find out why Édouard Manet is called the first modern artist, how to choose between idealized and observational landscape styles, and whether YouTube music is safe to use in your videos. There’s no guessing. No vague advice. Just clear, direct information that helps you move forward—whether you’re painting your first abstract piece, building a sculpture from cardboard, or pricing your first portrait commission.
Below, you’ll find every article published in October 2025—each one written to help you make better art, understand the market, and stop wasting time on what doesn’t matter. No fluff. No jargon. Just what you need to keep creating.
