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!

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.
