cattle

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Welcome to the museum! Today, we're going to look at a painting of some really cool animals. Have you ever seen a cow up close? They're big and spotty, aren't they? nn This painting is called "Cattle," and it was made by an artist named Franz Marc. He loved animals and wanted to show them in a special way. Instead of painting the cows exactly like they look in real life, he used bright colors and shapes to show how much energy they have! nn Look closely at the painting. What colors do you see? Can you find the blue? What about yellow? Franz Marc believed that colors had special meanings. He thought blue was for boys and yellow was for girls. What do you think? nn Even though the cows are just standing around, the painting feels very lively, doesn't it? That's because Franz Marc used swirling lines and bright colors to make the painting feel full of movement and energy. It's like we can almost hear the cows mooing and feel the grass beneath their feet! nn Franz Marc wanted us to see the beauty in nature and how everything is connected. He wanted us to feel happy when we look at his paintings. What do you feel when you look at this painting? nn Now, let's move on to the next painting and see what other amazing animals we can find!
