SALVADOR DALI
Salvador Dali was born in Spain in 1904. When he was a child, he |
Showed strange behavior and often interrupted his class in school. As he got older, |
He started to paint pictures that came from his dreams. |
His dreams and his paintings were scary and unreal. Dali |
Went to art school in Madrid, Spain. He got kicked out, |
And never finished. He even spent time in jail. However, he continued to paint, |
And his art style became known as Surrealism. Salvador Dali drew everyday items, |
But changed them in odd ways. For example, one of his paintings is of melting clocks. Before he died |
At the age of 85 in 1989, Dali had created works in film, ballet, opera, fashion, |
Jewelry, and advertising illustrations. |
LEONARDO DA VINCI
In 1452, Leonardo Da Vinci was born in an Italian town called Vinci. He |
Lived in a time period called the Renaissance, when |
Everyone was interested in art. Even though Da Vinci was a great artist, he |
Became famous because of all the other things he could do. He |
Was a sculptor, a scientist, an inventor, an architect, a musician, |
And a mathematician. When he was twenty, he |
Helped his teacher finish a painting called The Baptism of Christ. When |
He was thirty, he moved to Milan. That |
Is where he painted most of his pictures. DaVinci’s |
Paintings were done in the Realist style. |
