  1. VISUAL ART

  2. Visual art is a vast subject, including all kinds of pictures and sculptures. Artists make art for many reasons: • Hundreds of years ago - when many people couldn’t read -paintings were often designed to illustrate stories, especially Bible stories. And a lot of paintings were made to decorate churches. • More recently, artists have begun to paint to express their feelings or explore ideas, or just to create something beautiful.

  3. People have always argued about art: • how to make it • what it should look like and why. But there are no right or wrong answers. Some people think that paintings should look true to life. But many artists want to create more imaginative works – especially now that we have photographs to record how things look. It’s common knowledge that there’s a huge difference in what artists do. What kind of art you enjoy is up to you.
