NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia is inviting students in grades K-12 to participate in the 2025 NASA Langley Art Contest, using the theme “Our Wonder Changes the World.” The contest is open to children who are residents of the United States and currently in grade K-12We are asking schools, organizations, and community groups to encourage parents and teachers to submit one entry per student. A grand-prize winner will be selected from all entries and a first-place, second-place, third-place, and honorable-mention winner will be selected for each grade level.

If you want to try drawing different types of mandalas, there is a useful site. It has almost everything about mandalas and you can download and use them for free. It is also useful to know the names of each mandala.

We can create wonderful works of art with materials that we commonly find around us. The process we are introducing today is a sculpture painting using kitchen towels and aluminum foil. This process helps children increase their understanding of three-dimensional pictures.

The materials used are school grass, aluminum foil, and kitchen towels. The paints used are watercolor paints.

First, make the body of the fish with aluminum foil, then apply glue and cover it with a paper towel. Complete the details such as the side fins and fins on both sides.

For betta fish, they have a nice tail fin. Fold a paper towel over them and stick it on like a fan.

The moisture content of the kitchen towel makes it easy to absorb watercolor paints. This will make your three-dimensional fish look even more beautiful.

This exhibit celebrates the artists whose amazing creativity adds beauty to the world around us and offers an affordable opportunity to the public to gift artwork this holiday season.
