Horses and Eagle

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a painting called "Horses and Eagle." It was made by an artist named Franz Marc a long, long time ago in 1912. nn Can you say "Franz Marc?" nn That's right! Now, look at the painting. What do you see? nn That's right! Horses and an eagle! nn This painting is special because it's not about what the animals really look like. Instead, it's about how Franz Marc felt about them. nn Look at the colors. Do you see the bright yellow horse and the reddish-brown one? And what about that blue eagle? nn Franz Marc used these colors to show the energy he felt in nature. He loved animals and thought they were full of life! nn Now, look at the background. It's like a swirl of colors, right? nn Franz Marc wasn't trying to make it look like a real forest or sky. He wanted to show us the feeling of nature, the energy that connects everything. nn What do you think this painting makes you feel? nn "Horses and Eagle" is part of a type of art called Expressionism. Expressionist artists wanted to show their feelings and emotions in their art. They weren't afraid to use bright colors and bold shapes! nn Franz Marc's painting helps us see the world in a new way. It reminds us that art can be about feelings and energy, not just what things look like. nn Now, let's go look at some other amazing paintings!
