What's your favorite type of art?

*As you comment, assume the role of a second grader who doesn't know much about artwork*


Hello Third Grade Class!

Art is everywhere in society; it is in the clothes we wear, the cars we ride in, and the artworks we hang on the walls around our houses.

In todays assignment, I want you all to look around your house and pick out something that looks like art to you. It can be the shape of a glass, the picture your mother took of you as a baby or something you painted. When you find what you want to write about, describe it to us and say why you think it is considered art.

Have fun exploring the world around you!

EXAMPLE:

My mom is an artist and she paints all the time, so I have multiple paintings from her. One of my favorites that she has painted is a fish bowl with the song lyrics "we are just two souls swimming in a fish bowl" by Pink Floyd. She painted fish and and whimsical bubbles on the canvas. Every time I look at it I think of her now. I think it is considered art because she put her time and heart in to the piece for me.

  1. There's an old picture of my mom and her two sisters on the wall in the living room. I think it's my favorite piece of art because it was taken with a black and white camera, and I feel happy when I look at it.

  3. My grandmother has a painting that is of a mother and a child playing a piano. i have always loved this piece of art because if you look at it at a certain angle in the light it looks like the mothers ring is shining.

    1. That actually sounds similar to a painting my grandmother has.

    1. That's awesome! My mom painted the earth on a canvas a few years ago.
