Art

Art galleries display the works of lots of painters. There have been many painters. Some of them are very famous. Artists makes many different kinds of paintings. But they are all beautiful in their own way. There are two main kind of art. They are realistic art and abstract art. Some artists like realistic art, but others prefer abstract art.

Realistic art shows object as they look in reality. For example, a realistic artist pains a picture of an apple. The picture will look exactly like an apple. Most art in the past was realistic art.

Abstract art looks different than realistic art. Abstract art does not always look exactly like the real thing. For example, an abstract artist paint a picture of an apple. It will not look like an apple. It might just be a red ball. That is abstract art. Nowadays, much art is abstract.

There are many famous paintings in places around the world. People call the greatest paintings "masterworks". What makes a painting great? There are many different elements.

First, the lines and shapes that artist uses are important. The way of using lines and shapes is the main difference between realistic and abstract art. Realistic artists make their lines and shapes imitate reality. Abstract artists do not.

Also, the colours in the painting are important. The colours should go well with each other. Light and shadows are important elements of paintings, too. Light can effect the way you feel. The way that artists use light in their paintings can effect your emotions as well. So some artists may use a sharp contrast between dark and right.

An artist should also have a good sense of space. This means that the painting should not be too crowded or too empty. The painter should always try to find balance in a painting. That makes great art.
