Learn about how the science of light creates aerial perspective, one of the Methods of Perspective

Things We Mention

Why is the sky blue?

Around sunset, the light must travel through a longer distance of atmosphere, so we lose the green wavelengths as well This makes the mountains appear pink and purple. We call this the Alpenglow!! (one of my favorite words!)

Now Let’s Do an Art Project!

We have a great art lesson plan about Aerial Perspective where we draw or paint mountains!
