In one small town, a group of young artists tried something new. They did not use paint or paper. They used lights! At night, they went outside with flashlights and phones. They moved the lights in the air while someone took a photo with a camera. The camera saw the lights and made bright, colorful pictures.

This kind of art is called “light painting.” It is fun, easy, and creative. People of all ages can try it. You only need a dark place, a light, and a camera that takes long photos. You can make hearts, stars, or write your name with light.

One girl, Anna, made a picture of a cat with light. Her photo won a prize in a local art show. She said, “It is like drawing in the air!”

Light painting is now popular in many places. Some schools use it in art class. Families do it for fun. Even some museums show light painting now.

This new art brings people together. They laugh, play, and create something special. Art is not only paint and paper. Art is also light, fun, and ideas.
