preschool, children love to paint. No one cares if the

pictures are perfect. Children draw pictures to share

their feelings. And older artists remember these feelings

when they make art.

portraits is an ancient art. When the weather is nice,

the class goes outside. This is the perfect place to draw

landscapes from nature.

Every child is an artist. The

problem is how to remain an artist

once he grows up.

illustrators or sculptors . Each type of art

uses different tools. The supplies are called media . Art
