Animals in art

When people draw or paint pictures or sculptures of animals, it's called "animals in art". It's like when you draw pictures of your favorite animals, but grown-ups do it too! Sometimes they use bright colors and make the animals look very fancy and pretty.

Artists have been drawing animals for a very long time, even before there were cameras to take pictures of them. They draw them in different sizes and shapes, and sometimes they even make up new animals that don't really exist!

When you look at pictures of animals in art, you might notice that they look different from real animals. That's because the artists are using their imaginations to make the animals look the way they want them to. They might give them big eyes or a funny shape, or make them very detailed with lots of fur or feathers.

Artists also use animals in art to tell stories or show different emotions. They might draw a sad puppy to make people feel sad, or a happy kitten to make people feel happy. They might even draw animals doing things that people usually do, like wearing clothes or playing sports!

Overall, animals in art are a fun way for artists to express themselves and create beautiful things for us to look at.
