4 Introduction Art is all around us. It comes in every shape, size, and color. People who make art are called artists. They use paint, paper, clay, fabric, junk, wood, and metal. They use stone, videotape, computers, glass, and even plants. In fact, almost anything can be made into art. Alfred Quiroz painted this picture of himself. It is a self-portrait. Painters The most familiar kind of artist is a painter. Some painters brush, splash, spray, or drip paint. Others paint with their fingers, elbows, and other body parts. Others paint with different liquids, such as mud. 5 6

5 Wood sculptor Mural on a wall Painters also paint on everything. Some painters paint dishes, cups, trays, and pots. Others paint furniture, walls, and rugs. Many painters create murals, which are large paintings on walls or buildings. 7 8 Sculptors Another familiar kind of artist is a sculptor. Sculptors create art in three dimensions. They carve shapes into wood, stone, ice, wax, or other materials. Other sculptors cast shapes and statues in metal.

6 Metal statue made of bronze First, they carve the shape in clay. Then they cover the clay with plaster, which hardens into a hollow mold. They pour hot, liquid metal into the mold, where it hardens into the shape. Other sculptors combine different materials, such as wood and metal. They also sew fabrics or soft materials together, making soft sculpture Potters Forming clay pottery Potters make art with soft mud called clay. They put a lump of wet clay on a pottery wheel that spins around. The potter pinches and pulls the lump of clay through his or her fingers. As it spins, the clay forms a rounded shape.

7 Glass Blowers Glass blowers Baking clay pottery The potter bakes the clay in a very hot oven called a kiln. It bakes all the water out, leaving a hard material called ceramic. Artists use glass and paint to give the ceramic a shiny, colorful surface. 11 When glass gets very hot, it turns gooey, like molasses. Glass blowers scoop up hot glass with long tubes. They blow through the tubes, making bubbles in the blobs of glass. They pull and stretch the bubbles into different shapes. They can make the glass as wide, long, thin, or tall as they want. 12

8 Pigments used to color glass When glass is hot and gooey, artists can add colored streaks, swirls, and blotches. They can add blobs and knobs of colored glass to the sides of the art. A glass sculpture Weaving loom Fiber Artists Some artists use thread and fabric to make art. Weavers loop colored yarn on a machine called a loom. Weavers create rugs, blankets, and wall hangings. They can create many designs and patterns

9 Strange Art Patterned quilt Quilters take pieces of fabric and sew them together to make quilts. Quilting began many years ago when fabric was expensive. People saved money by using scraps from old clothes to make bedding. Even the poorest people could make beautiful artwork with quilts. 15 Some artists make found object art out of junk, car parts, toys, and other everyday materials. Some artists simply take an everyday object, such as a water fountain, and put it in a museum. This makes us look more closely at the strange shapes and beautiful designs all around us. 16 This face uses an old rake for hair.

10 Many sand castles are true works of art. Many artists use natural objects to make art. Some artists create huge shapes on beaches using rocks and sand. Others collect beautifully shaped driftwood and build sculptures. Some use branches, rocks, and plants to make interesting shapes. An installation uses a whole room to make art. Installations are entire rooms or buildings that have been made into works of art. The artist fills the room with strange objects, colors, sounds, and lights. You can walk inside and even touch some of these pieces of art

11 An African cave drawing (left) and a Pueblo pot (below) The Louvre Museum in Paris Where to Find Art People have created art for thousands of years. The oldest art can be found on caves and rocks. Pottery, murals, and tile mosaics can be found in ancient ruins. 19 Art is everywhere. Most cities have museums and galleries where artists show their work. 20 Painting: Mona Lisa

12 Art using toys This piece of public art is in front of a library where many people can look at it. Most towns also have outdoor sculptures and murals you can see on your way to school or to the library. The best thing about art is that you can make it yourself. Use chalk to draw on sidewalks and outdoor walls. Use clay to sculpt shapes. Make a snow sculpture or a sand castle

13 Glossary Art doesn t have to be serious or hard to do. Art can tell a story. It can help you say how you feel. Or, it can just be interesting, funny, or beautiful. Look for art all around you. cast ceramic to pour hot metal into a mold (p. 8) baked, dry clay that keeps its shape (p. 11) found art made from everyday object art objects (p. 16) installations kiln loom murals mosaics entire rooms or buildings made into art (p. 18) a hot oven where clay bakes into ceramic (p. 11) a machine that loops yarn into strips of fabric (p. 11) big paintings on walls or buildings (p. 7) pictures made from tiny colored bits such as paper, tile, or beads (p. 19) pottery a spinning wheel that forms wheel clay into round shapes (p. 10) soft sculpture made with fabric sculpture or other soft materials (p. 9) 23 24
