Ocean Art Ideas

Ocean Art Ideas


The sea is a magical place and offers a treasure of opportunities for ocean-inspired works of art. Creating beautiful ocean arts and crafts is an activity that can include the whole family. These works of art can be displayed throughout the home or given to friends and family as personal, hand-crafted gifts.


Sand Sculpture


Sand sculpture is one of the most beautiful ocean art projects. Have family contests, then photograph the results to frame for the home.


Sea Scene


For those long summer days, get a roll of butcher paper and have the family decorate it with sea-inspired scenes.


Ocean Diorama


Make a decorative ocean diorama out of a shoebox. Decorate it with crayons, watercolors, seashells, glitter or plastic sea creatures.


Whale Mobile


Whales are important ocean dwellers. Celebrate them by creating a whale mobile from paper, wire hangers and string. Embellish them with crayons, paints or drawings.


Dolphin Papier-Mache


With the art of papier-mache, make a dolphin out of newspaper, toilet paper and other common household materials. Paint it traditional colors or go for something funky when finished.
