Red Path, St. Prex

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a painting called "Red Path, St. Prex." It was painted by an artist named Alexej von Jawlensky a long, long time ago in 1915. nn What color do you see the most in this painting? That's right, it's red! The painting is called "Red Path," and it shows us a path that looks fiery red. nn Now, if you look closely, you'll notice that the painting doesn't look like a real path, does it? The artist used lots of bright colors and lines to show how he felt about the path. Do you think he was happy or excited when he painted this? nn See all the colors like green, blue, and purple? They're not blended together perfectly like in a coloring book. Instead, they're put together with bold strokes, almost like how you would color with crayons! nn Jawlensky wanted us to feel the energy of the path, not just see it. It's like he's saying, "Hey, look at this amazing red path and feel how exciting it is!" nn What do you think the black dashes in the painting look like? Some people say they look like a fence, while others think they look like musical notes! What do you think? nn This painting is like a song full of colors and feelings. It reminds us that art can be about so much more than just what we see. It can also be about what we feel!
