Art for Beginners

-

 


My name is Jaiya Upshaw and I am in the 4th grade. I have loved art for as long as I can remember. I like to draw and paint what’s around me like nature, people, animals, etc. This article is about why I love art and how you can create your own art.

 

WHY I LOVE ART

I love art because it’s my second voice. I can express myself through drawings. And when I draw something of my own, I feel like it has a part of me in it.

 

EARLY ART FORMS

A long time ago art and paint didn’t exist. So how did they create art, you ask?  

They didn’t have the paint that we have now, but they had their own paint: animal blood and mud. Isn’t that wild?! For example, this is a mural that was made with animal blood. It was created by hand on a wall in a cave.

MODERN ART FORMS

Today you can create oil paintings, use watercolor, and even spray paint walls.

 

One of the most common modern art forms is street art. You can make it with spray paint or acrylic paint. I love street art because it has unlimited ideas for drawings and it’s so colorful. I love driving or walking by the amazing artwork. This is an example of street art right here in Puerto Vallarta.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN ART

The first thing you need are materials.

·       Pencils      

·       Eraser

·       Colors

·       Paper

·       Markers

For ideas you can look around inside your home or outside in nature. Start by drawing with a pencil and a piece of paper. It doesn’t have to be perfect or fancy. As you practice, you will get better. I started drawing with pencils and then I added color.

 

MY OWN WORK:





 





The materials I used are pencils and acrylic paints. I like to draw things about nature such as plants, sunsets, forests and the ocean. I also like to draw animals such as dogs, tigers and even imaginary creatures!

Art doesn’t have to just be drawings or paintings. Art can be lots of different things like: music, sculptures, songs, ballet, dance, cooking, etc.

ART IN MEXICO:

Mexican art is special, colorful, and beautiful. Mexican artists have a love for color and form and an amazing talent for paintings and sculptures.

I like art in Mexico because the paintings are so colorful and vibrant. I know it came from the heart and it was not copied.

One of the artworks I like in Mexico are alebrijes because they are a mix of animals and they came from the imagination.

WHY ART IS AMAZING

Art isn’t just something you look at like it’s a chair or a pencil. When I look at art, I see color and emotion and most of all love. When people love art, and are passionate about it, you can see their love for art in their work. I hope you can see it too.

My Cochlear Implant

  H i, my name is Javier, I am 10 years old and I want to tell you my story. I was born in Madrid Spain. As a baby, my parents played with me and I did not pay too much attention to them because I did not understand. When I was 2 years old, I barely spoke a few words and that worried my parents. They took me to the ear doctor, the audiologist. The doctor told my parents that I could not hear anything from the right ear and from the left I heard a little, so they had to put me devices to listen. They put some headphones on me and I started to hear some noises. The doctor told my parents that there was a device called a “Cochlear Implant” that would help restoring my hearing in the right ear. When I was 2 1/2 years old I had surgery and a cochlear implant was put in my right ear. The inner part of the cochlear implant is inside the snail in a bone called "mastoid" and the outer part I put on with a magnet. In the left ear, I kept the hearing aid. I was in the hospital for ...
