Landscape projects are a favorite of ours. I just adore the soft and peaceful feel of them. There are so many pretty scenes that you can create and there is a variety of ways in which you can do it. We dabble with different ways to create landscapes all the time and we love seeing and trying other ideas that we see too. We love this collection of fun and creative landscape projects for kids and we think that the adults will have fun with these too. I know that I do. Whether you want to use paints, pastels, construction paper, nature, magazines or even food, we have a beautiful landscape art idea here for you.

Artist Inspired Pumpkin Crafts
Our projects are often inspired by the great artists. Last year, we made leaf and pumpkin pop art inspired by Andy Warhol. We were inspired again this year to mix pumpkins with various famous artist styles. These artist inspired pumpkin crafts are easy, cute, colorful and perfect for this time of year.
30 Artist Inspired Art Projects For Kids
It brings me so much joy knowing that my daughter loves art as much as I do. My five-year old spends the vast majority of her free time drawing, painting or crafting. It is wonderful to be able to share this with her.
I introduced her to the great artists early on and her curiosity and love for them has grown and grown. She wants to read books about them (We included a list of some of our favorite kid’s book about famous artists at the bottom of the post.) and look at pictures of their different artwork. She wants to know everything about them and loves trying to recreate their work and experiment with each artist’s techniques. It is amazing. Sufficed to say, artist inspired art projects have quickly become a favorite in our home. Here is a great collection of some of our favorite artist inspired projects for kids.
Van Gogh Inspired Fork Scrape Painting
Over the last month or so, my 5 year old has become fascinated with famous artists. We stumbled across a few wonderful books at the library about DaVinci, Matisse, Picasso and Van Gogh. The more that she learns about them, the more she wants to know. Her new goal in life is to become a great artist and have her work on display in a museum.

Footprint Gumball Machine & Starry Night
It is no secret that I love footprint crafts. My latest footprint crafts have been inspired by famous works of art. Last night, I felt inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night. I was ready to start our Starry night project and then passed by this gumball machine at the house we are staying at during our home build.
This sparked a whole new inspiration.
Footprint Gumball Craft
Paint the heel in white & the rest of the foot in red. Press in onto a piece of paper.
Paint the gumball machine top with red & silver paint.
Paint the dial & gumball door on with the silver & add details with black.
Have your child dip their little finger into different colored paint and press into the white to make the gumballs. Cute, quick & easy!
After my detour, I went back to my main event.
Footprint Starry Night
I painted my daughter’s foot in black & then pressed it onto a piece of blue paper.
I used a Sharpie to draw in the rest of the curvy black structure depicted by the foot .
I used the Sharpie again to draw in the village at the bottom of the scene.
I quickly painted the drawing. It didn’t need to be perfect.
Next I painted in the mountains.
And then began adding in the stars & swirls in the sky.
I cannot wait to decorate our new home with all of our new works of art.
