What kind of art does Brazil like to make?
Brazil likes to make all kind of art. Especially straw art. Straw art originated in Brazil anywhere from 1789?- now. Brazilians are especially good at because they do it almost everyday! And it is also taught in many Brazilian schools. Whatever is left over from their crops like straw,hay,etc..they twist and twine to make beautiful baskets and plates and many other useful tools. Brazil is also famous for water color ('s). if you go to Brazil in any of there museums you'll most likely find water color paintings. In Brazil if your not playing a sport or outside you can find many people doing the arts. Painting with water colors became very popular in 1745? when De Johnokk La Usatra came over from England (he was a artist - NOT very well know- died 1834?) he was looking for a place to settle. I have no idea why but he lost his home and for money he would paint or draw. He would get much money too. Anyways, after he came more and more people saw his art and it began to spread all over.
