Imagine you're drawing a picture with just circles, squares, and triangles. Some shapes feel calm, like squares, they make you think of houses or boxes. But other shapes, like wiggly lines or pointy stars, can feel exciting or even scary! Artists use these odd shapes to help us feel different emotions, like happiness, sadness, or surprise.
Examples
- A soft blue swirl could relax you like floating in the ocean.
- A wiggly yellow line might cheer you up like a bouncing ball.
