What is art?
Art can literally be anything. It can be anything from a delicate picture to an unmade bed. You can draw art, paint art and feel art. Most people would do ANYTHING to get their hands on paintings, such as:
The Mona Lisa
The Scream
The Last Supper
The Starry night
People would pay millions. I cannot find a picture of them, but I hope you know what at least one of them look like. Some of the most famous paintings don't make any sense. This is called abstract art, like the picture above. And this one.
If you look at it properly, you can sort of see a waterfall, rocks, and part of a sea/ocean. Cave pintings have been found in lots of places, France, Spain, Portugal, England, Italy, Romania, Germany, Russia and Indonesia. Cave paintings are an excellent source of art. They date back 1000s of years ago. Cave paintings illustrate the need to communicate. This communication takes form in leaving a mark for the future- to help guide, or communicate something so important it needs a pernament representation.
Thankyou for reading,

Thankyou for this post as I did not know many of these facts. I found the abstract paintings very interesting and might even try my own! I also didn’t know that they communicated with art! I could see the water fall and the reflection of trees on the water. I really enjoyed reading this post and looking at the pictures trying to figure out what bit was what. The last photo has created a picture using different shades of green which makes the painting stand out and this way, you can see the different things in the art piece. This post made me think about the paintings more now and look closely at them to see if there is any hidden things in the picture.
Very openminded, generous_seagull, it's nice to see you see the different shades from a different point of view!
Thankyou hopeful _city!
You're welcome!!! 👌👌😋

Art is a skill that some people are good at.But art is not just painting. It could be a sculpture,a collage or any other artworks that are created by us.
Do you think animals can create art?
Animals can create forms of art, but not exactly defined pictures e.g a human could paint a person, an animal could make a pawprint picture!

The thing that is good about art is that there is no right or wrong. Some people might say if they draw a picture. My pictures rubbish it not art at all. Well they are wrong because art can be anything from a beautiful picture to splats of paint on a piece of paper.
That i very, very good! Where did you learn that?!
Yes I agree with you there! If a splash of paint is art, then a piece of painting has to be art!
