Space is a pretty big deal. It’s fascinating to imagine what could be up there. Despite decades having passed since the space program kicked into high gear, there’s so much we know almost nothing about. With how vast it is, the possibilities seem endless.
And it’s fun to explore what might exist outside Earth’s atmosphere; it really fires up the imagination.
Of course, when dealing with matters of imagination, you have to go to the experts. Ask any group of kids what they want to be when they grow up, and the majority will probably answer that they want to be astronauts. After all, space is amazing.
No wonder kids are obsessed with it. So why not play into that obsession with some fun art projects? These space art projects are bound to conjure up daydreams of floating through space, heading for a planet nobody has ever set foot on before.
