What art is most popular among consumers?
Q. Ok, so I'm planning on selling some pieces of art (paintings and drawings) on a site called etsy. I need some extra money and I'd like to sell a couple of pieces. So, if I wanted something to sell, what would be the most popular thing that people would buy? Like, what pieces of art do people like to purchase? Would it be drawings of dogs, or paintings of characters? All the help, is much appreciated :) Thanks again!

A. People like pets for sure -- and if you can learn to draw from photos, that can work for you. And horses, birds, animals of all sorts, lighthouses, etc. can be pretty popular. But everybody has different ideas of what they like, so doing just ONE thing is not the way to go. You need to do some research on etsy itself, by looking at your probable competition. See who is selling art and what is selling by looking at their "SALES" (Under 'Other Items' on the RIGHT side of their shops). Etsy is a great site. I sell there myself. But you need to understand that sales are NOT guaranteed there. Many people on the site go weeks between sales. I often do myself. Some never sell at all, or only very, very seldom. And it takes WORK to sell there,… [cont.]

How did the art of the Middle Ages reflect the social concerns of the time period?
Q. I am doing a project on the art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and one of the parts is writing a one page essay about the art of the Middle Ages. I already wrote about its features, I just don't know how it reflects the social concerns of this time period. Thanks.
