Art as a form of expression is defined by its limitless potential for new mediums. Innovations in technology lend to new art forms, which is why — yes, absolutely — Lego can be used to create art. At Bricks & Minifigs, we believe in creativity. Whether as a fun pastime or as an outlet for the kind of emotion that a transcendent artist feels, as long as you have an idea to convey, you can use Lego as a form of expression.
Form and Space
Compared to paint on a canvas or pencil on paper, working with Lego transcends the boundaries of form and space. Building in three dimensions frees your imagination as you develop a form that provides different visual impressions based on the physical perspective your creation is viewed from.
Color
The vast array of colors is as palatable as a paintbrush on a white canvas. The only thing you can’t do is mix colors, as each brick is its own, but this constraint leads you to enhanced creativity.
Changeability
Working with traditional mediums such as acrylic on canvas means cleaning brushes and waiting for the paint to dry in order to make changes to your work. When you step back from your Lego creation and find new directions to take it in, it’s as simple as replacing, adding, or removing bricks.
Multimedia
You aren’t constrained to solely using your Lego pieces themselves, though you can definitely create great art using them alone. You can, alternatively, use Lego pieces as a component of a multimedia project. Think about combining other physical elements, like any kind of malleable material imaginable, into a modern art masterpiece!
Using Legos for the purposes of creating art isn’t just possible, it’s ideal. You’ll find endless inspiration from creators around the globe if you search for it.
