Painting through the ages

Caves were dark, but walls were bright

They painted animals with firelight

Bison ran and people drew

A world of dreams in red and blue

Egypt’s sands and golden skies

With kings and queens and magic eyes

Symbols told the tales they knew

Of life and love in every hue

Greece had statues strong and tall

They painted heroes, gods, and all

Shapes and beauty ruled the day

With perfect lines in every way

Then came art from long ago

With halos, gold, and candle glow

Stories drawn with care and grace

Lit up every sacred place

Renaissance brought light and shade

With colors deep and portraits made

Artists learned to show what’s real

With joy and soul in every feel

Then came dots and skies so light

Impressionists just painted bright

Brushes danced like drops of sun

And every moment felt like fun

Now art is wild, it's free, it flies

With rainbow cats and purple skies

There’s no one way to paint what’s true

Because the artist now is… YOU!
