According to John Lubbock “As the sun colours flowers, so does art colour life.” I like drawing because it makes me calm down when I am angry and it clears my mind when I am stressed.  That’s why today I am going to talk about how to do some art!!!!

First, I am going to talk about some paper you could use to draw on. You could use some sketching paper because it is more affordable and it has good texture which makes it easier to draw. You can also use notebook paper because it is affordable and the lines on the paper can help you draw. Finally, you can also use watercolor paper because it’s thick and because it has a sturdy surface. I would prefer sketch paper because that’s how I got better at drawing.

Now we are going to talk about things to draw with. You could use some pencils to draw with because it creates value and shading. You could also use coloring pencils because they are non-messy and it’s good at blending. Lastly you can use some mechanical pencils because they don’t need sharpening and offer less storage. I would prefer pencils because you can use them for blending, and, for me, that’s useful.

Now we are going to talk about some ideas of what to draw. You can draw something that inspires you because you will have fun drawing that thing that inspires you. You also could draw something that you love because that might bring you memories about stuff, and you can have fun drawing that too. Finally, you can draw about smells, like roses, flowers, and food smell because it can remind you about your childhood or something that you love. I would prefer the scent one because it brings me memories and I like that!!!

So”I think art is beautiful because it helps you calm down and helps you bring back memories, for example family or a smell like roses.” Art began with cave paintings about 20,000 years ago, evolving through ancient civilizations in Egypt, Greece, and Rome with their own styles and philosophies and that’s why I love it too. I also got this from Britannia. It is a cool website. If you want more tips about art, you can go here!! How To Sketch: 20 Essential Sketching Tips For Beginners
