A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words

The art gallery buzzed with color! Crazy abstract paintings with wild colors made you wonder what the artist was thinking .- They must have had a large palette with all those colors. Anyway, a giant metal sculpture of a dude in a cool pose grabbed everyone's attention. Then there was this landscape painting, so realistic it felt like you could step right into the mountains. It was nice to hear everyone’s different perspectives on it. Art is amazing - it lets people show us the world in their own unique way, using everything from splashy colors to giant metal statues. It's pretty inspiring!
