Easy Rainbow Art Project for Kids
Today’s video is an easy rainbow art activity for kids! Everyone loves rainbows—especially children. We love the magic and the myriad feelings that rainbows evoke within us—the sense of wonder, an anticipation of good things to come, the beauty after a storm, calmness, serenity, not to mention ideas like inclusion and diversity. Now, more than ever, I think the symbolism of a rainbow is meaningful to us all.
This project is easy to do, requires very few supplies, and promotes good feelings!
In my video, I introduce a variety of topics such as…
primary colors
secondary colors
warm colors
cool colors
how to draw a rainbow
how to add patterns to each arch of the rainbow
how to use crayons, colored pencils, AND markers to get a variety of color on each rainbow row.
I also include options for children to write the words, “Somewhere over the rainbow” on their artwork and to mount their final artwork onto a colored piece of construction paper.
The following supplies will be needed:
paper
pencil
crayons, colored pencils, and/or markers
