Realism I like art I love painting and drawing It is fun to make my own art but it is also really interesting to learn about art from the past The different times people made art are sometimes called periods Realism was an art period that began in France in the 1850s 4
Notice the dark earthy tones in this painting of a farmer and his animals This is an example of Realism Realism is an artistic style that shows poor and working people in their natural conditions 5
Realism started in France after a period of time when art only showed the luxuries of the rich and a perfect beautiful world The goal of Realist artists is to show everyday life and struggles including the lives of the working and poor 6
