Portrait of Denis Diderot

Hi everyone! My name is Isabella, and I'm so excited to explore this amazing painting with you all today! nn It's called the "Portrait of Denis Diderot." That's a very long name, isn't it? Can you all say "Denis Diderot" with me? nn nn Now, take a good look at the picture. What do you see? It's just black, white, and brown, right? That's because the artist used chalk to draw this picture! Have any of you ever used chalk to draw before? nn nn Even though there are no bright colors, the artist made this picture look so real! See how the light shines on Diderot's face? And look at his coat - it looks so soft and velvety! The artist was super talented to make a simple drawing look so interesting. nn nn Now, Diderot was a very important man. He was a philosopher, which means he loved to think and ask questions. He wanted everyone to learn and be curious about the world. Do you like to ask questions? I bet you do! nn nn This portrait is like a little window into the past. It shows us what Diderot looked like and helps us imagine what he was like as a person. He looks pretty serious, doesn't he? I wonder what he's thinking about! nn nn I hope you enjoyed learning about this special drawing with me today! Remember, art is everywhere, and it's a way for us to learn about different people and times. Keep exploring and asking questions!
