Art - what is it? It is something that can be used to express someone's feelings or a way of doing something. It can even be something nice to look at! Whether it is the art of karate, or a painting showing red, it symbolises, or even represents something.



Look at this picture. The blue may represent sadness or misery.

This is an extremely old piece of art. It dates back hundreds of years, yet it can represent perhaps a fight, or mixed feelings.

This is perhaps one of Van Gogh's most famous pieces. It goes back to 1889. It symbolises his mixed feelings and emotions when he was put into a mental health care home.

This is modern art. The art we have nowadays looks completely different to the ones our ancestors made, yet it still uses the same techniques used during ancient times. Even now, our art is the same, but different to ancient art.
