Talking Points
- Artists create artworks for different reasons. For example, some artists create art to express their emotions, while others may create art to tell a story. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to create art.
- When we look at a piece of art, we can interpret it in different ways. Just like how we all see things differently in the world, art can be seen and felt in many different ways.
- Art is a form of expression. It allows us to communicate our thoughts and feelings without using words. What do you think the artist was feeling when they created this artwork?
