Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School
3rd Grade
By Mrs. Dengler
PHILADELPHIA, PA - With this project, third grade students explored and appreciated the diversity of the solar system by learning about various NASA space missions.
Students also learned about and applied the Elements of Art & Design (shape, line, color, value, texture) to planetary images using critical analysis skills.
After learning how to blend colors with chalk pastels, and the importance of negative and positive space - the students created their own colorful star being born, a nebulae, using cool and warm colors on a painted background, creating artwork inspired by the cosmic images they have been studying.
