What are new art styles?

New art styles are like different ways to color and draw, just like how you might use crayons, markers, or even finger paints.

Imagine you're playing with your toys, one day, you decide to draw a robot using big, bold shapes that look like building blocks. That’s like the geometric art style, it uses simple shapes to make cool pictures. Another day, you might color your dinosaur with soft, wavy lines, almost like how clouds look in the sky, that's like the watercolor style, where colors blend smoothly.

Sometimes artists mix things up

You could take your crayons and draw a cat, but then use your finger to smudge the colors so they look all messy and fun, that’s like the mixed media style. It’s when you use more than one kind of art tool or technique to make something special.

Art styles can change over time

Just like how you grow up and start drawing more complicated pictures, artists also try new things. Some might draw with straight lines, others with curvy ones, it all depends on what they want their picture to feel like!
