Reflection #5

There is a lot more than just color and shading that goes into an art piece. The way an artist represents emotion can be through color, texture, movement, shape, value, space, and lines. By looking at children's picture books we can help students to appreciate and better understand art and the different mediums artists use. Students can learn what makes art powerful and how to express their emotions and stories by being exposed to different types of art and becoming familiar with the emotions and techniques that other artists use to convey their feelings.
