What makes these places beautiful?

What makes these paintings beautiful?

- People find things of beauty in the world around them.

- Artists share what they think is beautiful in their art.

OUR EXPERIENCES: We see beauty when we look closely at nature or when we view a landscape a distance. We see beauty in the parts of the world that are built by humans such as bridges and buildings

We also can "see" or feel beauty in our actions of kindness,  love and respect.

ARTISTS HELP US FIND AND SHOW BEAUTY IN OUR WORLD.

Can you think of a beautiful place you would like to share? 

Is it a building or is it in nature?

What lines, shapes and colors will you use?

On an index card, or small piece of paper, take 5 minutes to write about or draw something you find beautiful.

What is a collage?

A collage is made by cutting up, arranging, and gluing down materials such as paper, string, fabric, and newspaper. 

"Coller is a French word, that means to glue something together, so it makes sense that a collage is when you glue materials to a flat surface.

In collage you can use many different materials to make something new!

interesting papers, torn or cut

newspapers/ any text

You can also draw on your collage!
