how do you create art

there are no rules but having a finished

product in mind and selecting the tools

to achieve it is a useful time-saving

skill to have

to get started it is important to

understand the different types of

materials that can be used

perhaps you might prefer to hold a

pencil rather than a paintbrush because

you have more control with the pencil

or maybe you want to try mixing paint

pencil and colors together

twinkle tip if you're a beginner pencils

are the best tools for drawing because

you can erase it easily if there's a

mistake

next it's important to know what

materials to draw on

first up is the classic printer paper

that is available almost anywhere and

great for all art activities

if you're thinking of painting then some

thicker sketching paper is a fantastic

choice so the paints are less likely to

run through the sheets

then determine what colors you would

like to use

experiments with colors understand how

they can be combined to create new ones

and don't be afraid to get messy

the last thing that's needed is some

imagination

anything you can put on paper can be art

if you wanted to there are no limits

if you need inspiration many artists

choose to draw or paint self-portraits

sometimes it's to show off their skills

or to project how they see themselves to

others

this blank face template is a great

start to get creative when thinking

introspectively about how you look to

others

it also helps recognize and accept

differences in how people look

art has endless benefits

for example art can help children

develop creative problem solving skills

feel more self-confident and proud of

their creative achievements develop

motor skills and hand-eye coordination

and connect with their own culture as

well as with the wider world
