block environment without beamer

Question

I like the block environment, namely:

\begin{block}{Example}
Something interesting
\end{block}

However, it seems it is linked to beamer. So, is it possible to have something like the block environment when you have \documentclass{article}?

I added the package \usepackage{beamerarticle} which I found here, but when I use block it doesn't really show the block.

The output of the block environment depends on the beamer theme you use, but if you're referring the the more colorful ones, you can achieve a similar output using the tcolorbox package in your article. — leandriis, Sep 26 '21 at 20:37

\PassOptionsToPackage{svgnames}{xcolor}
\documentclass[twocolumn,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\tcbuselibrary{skins,breakable}
\usetikzlibrary{shadings,shadows}
\newenvironment{gblock}[1]{%
\tcolorbox[beamer,%
noparskip,breakable,
colback=LightGreen,colframe=DarkGreen,%
colbacklower=LimeGreen!75!LightGreen,%
title=#1]}%
{\endtcolorbox}
\begin{document}
\begin{gblock}{Example of \texttt{exampleblock}}
wwwwwwwwwwwwww
\end{gblock}
\end{document}

Or you may also like this

 \begin{tcolorbox} 
 [colback=white!100,colframe=red!75!black,width=10cm, 
 righttitle=0.5cm,subtitle style={boxrule=0.4pt, 
 colback=yellow!50!red!25!white},title= \bf{qqqqqqqq}\hfill  
 \bf{qqqqqqqqqqq}]
    \begin{center}\bf{aaaaaaaaa}\end{center}
    \tcblower
    qqqqqqqqqqqqq
\end{tcolorbox}
