Basic Art Shapes
Shapes are all around us in the wonderful world of art! Let's go on a fun adventure to discover some basic shapes together. First, we have the CIRCLE. A circle is round and smooth, just like the bright sun shining in the sky, a bouncy ball that you can play with, or even a yummy cookie that you might enjoy as a treat! Next, let’s talk about the SQUARE. A square has four equal sides, and you can find it in many places, like a window that lets in light or a crunchy cracker that you might eat. Now, let’s look at the TRIANGLE! A triangle has three sides, and you can see it in a tasty slice of pizza that you might share with friends or at the top of a tall mountain reaching for the sky. Finally, we have the RECTANGLE. A rectangle is like a stretched-out square, and you can find it in things like a door that opens and closes or a book that tells a story. Can you think of other things around you that are these shapes? Let’s use our imagination and look for shapes in our art and in the world around us!
