Slide 3: Art is a diverse range of human activities and artifacts, and may be used to cover all or any of the arts, including music, literature and other forms. It is most often used to refer specifically to the visual arts, including media such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking. However it can also be applied to forms of art that stimulate the other senses, such as music, an auditory art.
Slide 4: Visual art is defined as the arrangement of colors, forms, or other elements "in a manner that affects the sense of beauty, specifically the production of the beautiful in a graphic or plastic medium". Pastel is an art medium in the form of a stick, consisting of pure powdered pigment and a binder. The pigments used in pastels are the same as those used to produce all colored art media, including oil paints; the binder is of a neutral hue and low saturation.
Slide 6: Leonardo Da Vinci was born in 1452 in an Italian town called Vinci. Even though Leonardo was a great artist, he became famous because of all the other things he could do. He was a sculptor, a scientist, an inventor, an architect, a musician and a mathematician. When he was thirty he moved to Milan. That was where he painted some of his best paintings. Da Vinci’s paintings were done in the realistic style which attracted many people. Some of Leonardo’s famous paintings were called Mona Lisa, the Last Supper and Madonna and Child.
Slide 7: Vincent Van Gough was born in Holland in 1853.He worked at many jobs, such as at an art gallery, a school, a bookstore, as a preacher, and at last, he became an artist. He didn’t have a very happy life. He painted sad paintings with poor people in them. His paintings were always very dark until he saw some colourful Japanese paintings. Most of his work was in the postimpressionist style. Van Gough moved to France and then later cut of his ear. He was still unhappy later in life until he killed himself. Some of his most popular paintings were the starry night, Wheatfield with Crows and the sunflowers.

Slide 9: Traditionally almost entirely religious and ceremonial, it was directed toward portraying stories of the dreaming, a creation mythology reflecting the Aboriginal hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Perishable materials were used, for example in bark painting and carved trees and logs, and few early works of this type survive. A great deal of rock art remains intact, however, and forms one of the richest continuing traditions in the world. Abstract patterns and stylized figures predominate. Ground and body painting were also practiced, chiefly as part of secret initiation rites.
Slide 11: In 1962 Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa was valued at $100 million? Who knows what it would be worth today! The word 'cartoon' originally comes from painting terminology?
