Art Class Costume Ideas

If you think about it, creating your own Halloween costumes is undoubtedly a form of artistic expression. Why not turn the idea on its head and actually dress up as a artist? Here is how to splash the colors together:

Anal Artist

The anal artist takes their work seriously and is entirely committed to creating the best work possible. For this costume, wear beige, tight-fitting khaki pants, a white shirt, and a beret of your color choice. It is okay to spill a little paint on your outfit, but again, this student is more focused on the painting.

This artist always seems to have a paintbrush in hand and is hard at work creating the next masterpiece. You can get creative in the ways you wish to express the "anal" side of the artist, but this general guideline is a great start. If you and your friends show up to the next Halloween gathering as members of an artist, you'll certainly be the talk of the weekend.

Expresive Artist

There are lost of artist that fall in love with the process and seemingly cannot keep the paint on the canvas. It inevitable ends up all over their body and clothing. For this costume, you want to lay an oversized shirt on top of some newspaper. Make sure you have a wide variety of paint on hand and get to work.

Spill blots of different colors all across different areas of the shirt. As you allow the shirt to dry, now its time to get a little dirty yourself. Smear various colors of the paint across your face, sleeves and hands, suggesting that you are such an enthusiastic artist you can't even keep the paint on the canvas.

It is entirely up to you how much paint you want to spill on yourself. Once the shirt has dried completely, put it on and you are good to go. Be sure to accessorize with art supplies as well.
