Art Lesson 1

​Art started in a long life in Africa. It started by using art but in the body. Not only that, but ancient people would use art in walls to give a secret code to their tribes. One of the most famous paintings of all time is the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci which today is that most famous painting of all!

​First of all, scientists have determined that in the lab we can see about 1,000 levels of dark-light and about 100 levels each of red-green and yellow-blue. So that's about 10 million colors right there.

​The very first flower ever to be represented in the arts may be the lotus flower. Ancient Egyptians adorned amulets, ceramics and papyrus paintings with the lotus flower, which to them symbolized the sun, according to My Modern Met. This shows that not only can you do art with colors, but also with flowers.

​Art not only was on walls, bodies, colors, and flowers, but also with pencil. There has been amazing arts all around the world from people only using a pencil.
