Art Tip: Craftsmanship
Being an artist takes a lot of patience, and using craftsmanship is one of the most important skills to learn.
Art Tip: Cut Paper
Cut paper is a colorful way to make an eye catching piece of artwork. Use colorful construction paper, and consider mixing in some other types of paper, like wrapping paper or others.
Color Choice
Next time you create a piece of art, think twice before you choose your colors: the grass doesn’t have to be green, or the sky blue. Use some different and unexpected colors, and you will be surprised at how fun and original your art is.
Complementary Colors
Using complementary colors in a piece of artwork makes the colors stand out more, and almost always makes a good piece of art great.
