4th grade ventures to outer space!

We integrated the 4th grade space science unit into art class. We talked about how to use value to create an image that looks more like a sphere rather than a flat circle. Students used tempera paint to explore color gradation and they also experimented with using watercolors to create  a wet on wet technique in order to make a more realistic planet.  Students worked in groups to invent their own solar system.  They shared some very creative stories to explain the history of their solar systems.
