Romero Britto makes things that are HAPPY and the world needs more of that. His art is full of color and patterns. Kids can relate to it. His art has been made into many products, which shows the ways artists can make a living and the potential for artistic design in all areas of our lives. He has made sculptures and paintings both in his unique style.

Vassily Kandinsky was one of the first pioneers of abstract art. Abstract art is art that does not attempt to show things realistically, but uses lines, shapes, colors and textures to show emotions and meaning.

Kandinsky was from Russia and initially went to law school. He was always fascinated by color and in his thirties, he decided to go to art school. Kandinsky thought showing the inner beauty was most important. He believed that color could express feelings like music does. He even thought that colors and shapes could represent sound.
