Unit Overview: Students observed images of space from the Hubble telescope in order to create a drawing of planets, stars, and other spacial anomalies using oil pastel, dark paper, and runny white paint. AND WE'RE BACK!
Oftentimes, new artwork inspiration doesn't hit me til around October. The first couple of months back is often focused on making sure students recall art vocabulary and concepts so that we can more to more advanced projects. But this project I was inspired by came from the first picture ever taken of the black hole. Yeah, until recently, we had no photographic evidence of black holes. It was pretty amazing that we even got the picture we have. So third grade students observed images from the Hubble telescope and we discussed how planets look in space. I taught students how to use oil pastels to create spheres that showed light and dark. After drawing a series of planets, students flicked white paint over their paper to create a starry affect. It's a pretty simple lesson, but fun and effective.
