I need help finding the main idea for my son's reading book. The title is Art Around Us. It goes like this Introduction: Art is all around us. It comes in every shape, size, & color. People who make art are called artists. They use paint, paper, clay, fabric, junk, wood, and metal. They use stone, videotape, computers, glass, and even plants. In fact, almost anything can be made into art. Then it goes into subtiles Painters/Scupters/Potters etc. Painters: The most familiar kind of artist is a painter. Come painters brush, spash, spray, or drip paint. Others pain with their fingers, elbows and other body parts.....I have to have my son write the main idea??? I thought it would be People who make art are called artists but I am not sure? I welcome anyones thoughts
