Taj Mahal from TAJ MAHAL: Artist's transformative blackboard sketch gets 30 million views β watch to know why
Art has the power to educate, inspire, transform and motivate. But it also has the power to stun and stupefy.
The latter is only achieved through pieces that are hard to forget or replicate.
You don't need to go far back as Leonardo Da Vinci or Vincent Van Gogh. You could just surf the internet, which is now full of stupendous works by talented artists around the world.
Art and craft videos have a positive impact because they teach netizens about new concepts, ideas, and styles. They also play a huge role in promoting talents on social media.
Fascinating and awe-inspiring works of art and craft are on every platform these days. They are so widespread that it often becomes difficult to choose one to discuss and praise.
But we couldn't stop ourselves from sharing and discussing this piece by an artist called Akdev.
Before you see it, you should know that the clip showing the creation has collected over 30 million views on Instagram. Yeah, it's that impressive.
The clip shows the artist standing in front of a blackboard that has 'Taj Mahal' written on it with white chalk.
Taking a small piece of chalk in his hand, the artist begins to transform each letter of the word into structure of the monument itself.
He draws the minars on both sides of the word and then draws the main structure at the centre. By the end of it, the word disappears and all that we can see is a white chalk drawing of the Taj Mahal.
The whole process is highly satisfying to watch.
Take a look:
The clip was posted on January 17 on the Instagram account 'akdev__art_', which has close to 40k followers. Unsurprisingly, netizens were blown away by the transformative art.
The artist's profile is full of other similar transformative. He has created a drawing of a Bullet bike from the spelling 'Bullet', turned the word 'Durga' into a full-blown drawing of the goddess, and made Batman from the word Batman among many other things.
