Tingatinga: The vibrant and mesmerizing painting style of East Africa

Tingatinga art is a vibrant and mesmerizing painting style that traces its roots back to East Africa. This unique and enchanting art form has captivated the hearts of many, making it one of the most prominent tourist-oriented painting styles in Tanzania, Kenya, and neighboring regions. The genre is named after Edward Tingatinga, the visionary Tanzanian artist who founded this distinctive…

Poorly? This is a nice artistic style that looks like it belongs on someone's wall.

It kinda reminds me of African Tingatinga art (NGL had to look up what it was called)

Yeah, you could make a whole line of this

IDEA: Painting Skill Improvements

Here is a collection of ideas to improve and refresh the Painting Skill in Sims 4.

IDEA: Easel Painting: Add Frame

IDEA: Folk Art category for the Painting Skill

IDEA: Occult Paintings & Crafts

IDEA: Easel Painting: Add Frame

POST: EA Forum AHQ, add +MeToo

The Painting Skill only comes with one frame: Black. It would be a great update if the same color choices we get with Add Frame to Photos (Photography) were applied to our painted art from the Painting Skill.

Empty Frames would be a cool Buy Mode item to add to the game. These empty frames would snap to Small, Medium and Large paintings and come in a variety of sizes, styles and colors. Empty Frames could also be used as a stand-alone wall decor item to create an artistic gallery feature wall.

Additions like these would enhance the Painting Skill and could fit perfectly as a Kit, or include in a larger Stuff Pack that introduces a new Art Hobby, such as a Sculpting or an Antique/Art Collector pack.

IDEA: Folk Art category for the Painting Skill

POST: EA Forum AHQ, add +MeToo

The cultural additions of wearable CAS and regional Foods are welcomed inclusions to the game. To expand upon this, what if your Sims could paint their own Folk Art using the easel?

Sims could decorate their homes with hand-painted art of their heritage. For example, Artesanía paintings would beautifully compliment the world of Ciudad Enamorada and Selvadorada. Nihonga folk art would add the perfect painted touch to homes in Mt. Komerobi. Go beyond DLC to include other folk styles: Kalamkari, Tingatinga, Dalmalning, Gongbi, Wycinanki and so many more.

Choosing the Folk Art category would behave the same as any other painting category, producing a random cultural painting to sell or display. Easel > Folk Art > Small, Medium, Large

Let's introduce a new art style for the Painting skill: Folk Art.

IDEA: Occult Paintings & Crafts

POST: EA Forum AHQ, add +MeToo

What if Occult Sims had their own painting category on the easel? What if art truly imitated Occult life?

This is what it could look like:

LINK: Google Docs: Occult Arts & Crafts Examples

Occults could express their unique lived experience and view of their world through art. These works would make wonderful decorative pieces for their homes keeping with the theme exclusive to their Life State. Paintings would reveal "Oh, a Werewolf must've painted this."

This painting feature would only become available if playing as that Occult. For instance, clicking on the easel as a Vampire Sim gives the option to paint Vampire, Pop Art, Impressionism, etc. It would be very rewarding and add more creative depth to all Life States the Sims 4 has to offer. Aliens could decorate their homes with galactic-inspired paintings. Servos could produce robotic Figure Paintings or pixel art.

This feature needn't be limited to just the easel. Child Occults could produce their own crafts on the Activity Table. Spellcaster children could craft a glitter-and-glue magic wand. Alien children could craft a paper plate UFO. Mermaid children could draw dolphins. Vampire children could craft a popsicle spiderweb.

Woodworking could also play a role with Occult art. Vampires could create a small Coffin trinket box, and then advance to a full-size Coffin furniture item, both rough and refined versions. Spellcasters could craft the common Wood Wand at low level, then introduce a new Intricate Wood Wand at higher skill. Servos could craft a wooden Icosahedron. And so forth.

Uploading some of my old Africa photos. The first photo was taken just off the main market area of Stone Town in Zanzibar (which is part of Tanzania). Some of the art you see on the right side is known as Tingatinga, or Tinga Tinga. This style of art was developed in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and later spread to most East Africa. We have a few pieces here at home on our walls. The painter typically uses vibrant bicycle paint. If you guessed “made for tourists,” yep, you’re right. Regardless, it’s fun.

The second photo was taken in the main market in Stone Town.

Quiz question for you. Stone Town is famous for being the birthplace of which famous rock star? Freddie Mercury. Back then, when he was born, the legal name of his birthplace was the Sultanate of Zanzibar, which was a British protectorate. Mosque towers dominate the local landscape.

“Edward Saidi Tingatinga’s art career lasted only four years from 1968–72; cut tragically short when he was shot dead at the age of forty. His impact on Tanzanian art however has been profound and his legacy has continued to gain momentum. The artist initially developed his distinctive approach to creating paintings out of necessity to make ends meet, finding that he could use enamel bicycle paint on ceiling board and sell his work inexpensively. He displayed these pieces in stores across Dar es Salaam and many expatriates who lived in the area began to collect his work. As his success grew, Tingatinga hired and trained close friends and family, firstly helping him to prepare boards, and later guiding them to make their own paintings. The Tingatinga style has now become a large industry in Tanzania, with high demand from local and international buyers, but few E. S. Tingatinga originals come on the market. Value continues to increase as original works become more and more rare.”
