Let’s Paint
Painting is the application of pigments to a support surface that establishes an image, design or decoration. In art the term “painting” describes both the act and the result. Most painting is created with pigment in liquid form and applied with a brush.
Painting media are extremely versatile because they can be applied to many different surfaces (called supports) including paper, wood, canvas, plaster, clay, lacquer and concrete. Because paint is usually applied in a liquid or semi-liquid state it has the ability to soak into porous support material, which can, over time, weaken and damage it. To prevent this support is usually first covered with a ground, a mixture of binder and chalk that, when dry, creates a non-porous layer between the support and the painted surface.
What feelings can you show in a painting? In a painting of a stormy sea, you can show the power of nature. In a quiet forest scene, you can express peace. A picture of food can send a message of plenty. Or a painting of empty bowls may say “hunger”.
What can you express in a painting that doesn’t show anything real, like people or objects? You can use colours and designs to show feelings. You can put across your own feelings this way.
