Painting like Michelangelo for kids

Dear all of us,
I love introducing children to the fine arts, it truly brings me joy.

One of the most fun ways to introduce a child to fine art is to introduce him or her to Michelangelo. Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel while laying on his back. I tell the children this and they are always fascinated.

Then I tell them that it is their turn to paint on their backs like this:

It is always a big hit in the classroom!
