Earth as Art |
The Earth is a beautiful thing! Impressionism.
Pointillism. Cubism. These images showcase breathtakingly
bizarre and colorful images, created by mother nature and a
high-flying helper. Mountains, deserts, islands and glaciers
become abstract subjects, seen in brilliant blues, greens and
reds from a vantage point more than 400 miles away!

30 Abstract Images of Earth as Art |
The world reproduces itself not only in the
course of several gyrations, but at several different heights.
At ground level, one can only imagine the sheer beauty of
mountain ranges, deserts and deltas seen high up from NASA’s
satellites. One can imagine - yes - however, they wouldn’t be
quite prepared for the fact that from 400 miles away, the earth
transforms into abstract art. The global landscape is
impressionist, cubist and pointillist. Mother Nature is an
abstract artist.

NGA Jungle for Kids |
Inspired by the paintings of Henri Rousseau,
NGAkids Jungle encourages children of all ages to
create an imaginary landscape inhabited by an array of endearing
animals. Players can mix and match the colorful characters,
control the environment by changing weather and lighting
conditions, or construct flowers, trees, and plants using
special tools. An auto button generates random compositions,
allowing youngsters to sample program options and experiment
with special effects as a starting point for their own designs.
