This versatile and fun summer art project will inspire your Arty Crafty Kids to explore color to help them recreate some of their favorite sunsets of the season. Children are encouraged to pay attention to how the sunset’s colors change, and to play with the paint as they blend the colors togethers.

They will learn how to use simple paint strokes to create a sense of perspective within their art and will be encouraged to think about the concept of foreground/background and light/shadow – and how these effects are applied to make the sailboats stand out from the colorful backdrop.
