Out of this World Art!

In honor of the Third Graders'  recent study of space, we created imaginary spacescapes in art.

 First, the children splatter-painted stars in the dark night sky.

Then, we painted vivid watercolor swirls onto manila paper.

Next, each child traced 5 circles (planets) of varying sizes onto the watercolored paper. We used oil pastels to add shading to our "planets."

 Finally, we glued the planets in the sky making sure all of them are "facing" the sun, and used  the scrap watercolored paper to form the surface of the nearest "planet."
