Leonardo da Vinci spent years painting the Mona Lisa's lips.

Thank you for listening to my presentation. I hope you enjoyed it and that you learned more about different types of art! Now that you know more about my topic, why don't you make some of your own art?

Cave Art

Prehistoric Cave Paintings

To remember important events, the cavemen would write and draw on cave walls. Also, they wanted to express their feelings, so they painted pictures.

Thousands of years ago, cavemen carved and painted on stone. These paintings that they created help us know what happened in the prehistoric times. The oldest cave painting was made by the Neanderthals, extinct creatures that were very similar to human beings. It is 40,800 years old.

Art Fact

The cavemen would use finely ground

stone or sand mixed with animal fat,

animal blood, or plant dyes to make

paint. They would use the leg bone of

an animal to paint a picture, like we

would with a pen or pencil.

Leonardo da Vinci, who was left-handed,

wrote all his personal notes from right to left, so to read them you had to use a mirror.

Famous Painters

Modern Art

There were lots of famous painters, for example Leonardo da Vinci. He painted the world-famous painting, The Mona Lisa. Some artists painted portraits of royalty, like kings and queens. You can view artists' work in art galleries.

More 250 measurements are taken of the subject for

the wax figure. Some artists even try to take a mold of

the subject's teeth! Hair has to be added one strand

at a time. It takes about 800 hours in total.

Modern art is very unique and all about and all about creativity. Modern artists experimented with new ways of painting fresh ideas about functions of art.

Amazing But True:

Egyptian funerary masks, like this one, were used to cover the face of a mummy. They often had a special pattern on them and were made out of gold.

Painters had a very important job. They had to paint pictures of people, maybe even a painting for the inside of Pharaoh's pyramid if they got lucky. The hard part of a painter's job was that they had to make each painting very special. They person they were painting had to have something about them that made them instantly recognizable.

Modern art - unlike traditional art - doesn't try to make a picture realistic. It means the

artists experiment with lots of different

materials and colours. Some also try to make the picture unreal, like making the sky green

and the grass red. They also try to make the

picture pop. Much of modern art is abstract

and includes various shapes. Modern art

began with Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso,

and many others, who were all essential for

the development of modern art. Pictures of this very unique art are usually multicolored and always full of expression and emotion.

Men were usually drawn with dark skin and working out in the sun. Women were usually shown with fair skin and inside of a house. Different materials were used to make different colours. The ancient
