The page titled Arlington-Style Soldier Grave Marker Clean Grass Hills Background is a serious and meaningful homage to those service members who sacrificed their lives to serve the country. This design was inspired by the serene columns of headstones that can be found in the Arlington National Cemetery, with one upright grave marker in the middle surrounded by small hills of the grass. The starkness of the terrain accentuates the solemn silence of the marker, leaving the colorists to accent the emotional meaning of memory. The simplicity of the shapes, bold outlines and simplicity of the colouring page allow young children to understand the colouring page, whereas older artists can shade, create gradients of the atmosphere, or introduce some minor textures to enhance the mood. This design is ideal to use on Memorial Day lessons, on Veterans Day activities, on school discussions about military service, community tributes, and personal reflection to get the solemnity of the meaning of a sacrifice to be thought of. The white background provides a serene environment, which is an index of honour, respect, and gratitude. This colouring page may be used in classrooms, or at home, or even in patriotic collections of art, as it is a heartwarming method of every grade level colorist to show the appreciation they have of the heroes of America.
How to ColorĀ
First of all, paint the grave marker in light grays, light off-whites or light hearts of stone. Add soft a shade to the sides so as to provide depth without making the whole appearance disrespectful and flown. The hilly grass may be tinted with the greens--as bright as in spring, or dull olive, as you please, to express either the cheerfulness or sorrow. Darkening the green colour at the bottom of the hills is used to give the effect of dimension. With the sky, the light blue, light yellow, or some soft sunrise or sunset gradient can be used to improve the serene nature. Children can stick to solid and plain colours, whereas adults can mix the colours to create emotional and realistic effect. There is a slight shadow under the marker, which helps to bring the design to earth and it finishes the tribute.
