Art and Artists – Shapes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

by ReadWorks<\/p>\n

Drawings are made up of lines. Those lines often form shapes. Drawings are made out of lines, and also shapes.<\/p>\n

When you attach lines together, they become shapes. Shapes are all different sizes and can be made of many different kinds of lines. Certain shapes make us think of certain things. A rectangle may remind us of a building or a square may remind us of a box. If you see a circle, you might think of the sun. An oval is the shape of a person’s head and triangles can look like trees.<\/p>\n

One thing can be made up of many different shapes. Think about the human body. The head is oval-shaped, but what are your arms shaped like? What are some shapes that you can find on the human body? Can you draw a body using only common shapes?<\/p>\n

Art is often made up of shapes that are created with lines.<\/p>\n
