Textured Planets - Art and Science

       This is one of my favorite lessons. It always does well at art festivals and other exhibits. Plus kids have a lot of fun creating this project. We learn about the art element of texture. For a fun science component I have also discussed our solar system in comparison to the imaginary space picture that the kids create. During different years of teaching this we have learned about NASA and what the Cape Canaveral space station has been responsible for.

                                                                 3rd grade examples:

                        Both of these first two projects were on display at the Polk Museum of Art from a                                            previous year. Shading with charcoal definitely adds a fun 3D effect.
