Whats is nail string art:

String art or pin and thread art, is characterized by an arrangement of colored thread strung between
points to form geometric patterns or representational designs such as a ship's sails, sometimes with
other artist material comprising the remainder of the work. Thread, wire, or string is wound around a
grid of nails hammered into a velvet-covered wooden board. Though straight lines are formed by the
string, the slightly different angles and metric positions at which strings intersect gives the appearance
of Bézier curves (as in the mathematical concept of envelope of a family of straight lines). Quadratic
Bézier curve are obtained from strings based on two intersecting segments. Other forms of string art
include Spirelli, which is used for cardmaking and scrapbooking, and curve stitching, in which string is
stitched through holes.

Seni tali atau seni pin dan benang, dicirikan oleh susunan benang berwarna yang diikat di antara titik
untuk membentuk corak geometri atau reka bentuk perwakilan seperti layar kapal, kadang-kadang
dengan bahan seniman lain yang merangkumi sisa karya. Benang, wayar, atau tali dililit pada kuku kuku
yang dipalu ke papan kayu yang ditutup dengan beludru. Walaupun garis lurus dibentuk oleh tali, sudut
dan kedudukan metrik yang sedikit berbeza di mana rentetan bersilang memberikan kemunculan
lengkung Bézier (seperti dalam konsep matematik sampul keluarga garis lurus). Lengkung Kuadrat Bézier
diperoleh daripada rentetan berdasarkan dua segmen bersilang. Bentuk seni rentetan lain termasuk
Spirelli, yang digunakan untuk pembuatan kad dan buku skrap, dan jahitan lengkung, di mana tali dijahit
melalui lubang.

The Origins of String Art:


String art is weaving colored string, wool, wire, or yarn between hammered nails to
make geometric patterns. Artists use lines of thread to create curved patterns that can form
various desirable shapes. This organic idea to use thread and nails to form angles has grown
from an educational tool to an art form like no other.
Artists from around the world continue to make their name through being able to
execute string art uniquely. Their creations attract a global audience with an appreciation for
intricate design. The best way to know where string art will go in the future is to understand
what gave birth to this innovative visual art.
Brief History of String Art:
The first person known for forming curves out of straight lines is Mary Everest Boole. The
Englishwoman used what is known as curve stitching to help teach children mathematics. She
would go on to publish a book in 1909 titledPhilosophy & Fun of Algebra. The curves Mary
Everest Boole used in her teaching methods became known as theBèzier curve.
Inspired by an algorithm created by French mathematician Paul de Castejau, Pierre Bézier -- a
fellow French mathematician -- developed a curve formula to help solve a practical issue. At the
time, Bèzier was working at a car company and was in need of an accurate way to describe a
curve that worked for both manufacture and design. The result was the Bèzier curve, which can
describe any second degree curve with only four points. The curve was publicized in 1962 and is
credited with inspiring numerous artists although its intentions were strictly mathematical.

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is a finite sequence of well-defined, computer-


implementable instructions, typically to solve a class of problems or to perform a computation.

String Art in America

One of those inspired artists is American artist John Eichinger. He specialized in creating geometric
designs which he referred to as “string mandalas.” A popular hobby kit distributor at the time, Open
Door Enterprises, first marketed his string art kits in the late 1960s. This is noted as one of the first times
everyday people took interest in string art. It became widely popular in the 1970s with an uncountable
amount of U.S. homes boasting home-made string art on their walls.

CARA NAK BUAT ART:


1. Gather Materials And Locate An Image
- Before you begin, gather your materials and start sourcing an image to use as your pattern
for the string art. You can either search the internet for simple shapes—like a house, for
instance—or check around your home for illustrations to use as a pattern. Print out or
photocopy the image and cut out its silhouette.

2. Outline the Shape With Nails


- Next, position the pattern on the piece of wood and use tape to secure it temporarily. With
a hammer, lightly pound linoleum nails all the way around the paper pattern. Try to space
them as evenly as possible and nail them to the same depth. To prevent your fingers from
getting hit with the hammer, pinch each nail in a clothespin and hold that instead of the nail
itself.

3. Outline the Shape With String


- When the shape has been outlined completely with nails, remove the paper pattern. Using
embroidery floss, outline the perimeter of the shape. Begin by tying the floss to the first nail,
and leave a tail for tying off when you are finished. Make sure to use all six threads of the
embroidery floss. Using fewer will cause the strings to break when you pull it taut against
the nails.

4. Changing Directions at a Corner


- When you reach a corner or need to change the direction of the string, wrap the string
tightly around that nail. This will keep things tight and help maintain the integrity of the
shape.

5. Fill in the Shape With String


- Once you have outlined the shape with string, begin filling it in by crisscrossing and
wrapping from nail to nail. There is no rhyme or reason to this process. Simply go from side
to side; top to bottom and corner to corner, varying the lengths and order randomly. If you
see that you're about to run out of string, try to end where you left a tail of string at the
beginning. Knot the ends tightly and start another bundle of floss there as well. Repeat this
process until the shape is filled into your liking, then tie off the end when finished. Clip the
tails of thread. Now that you've finished, you can display your creation wherever you want
in your home! You can also start a new string art project while you're at it.
