Fourth grade artists have recently completed these paintings of our solar system. The main art concept of this project was to understand how light affects the way objects look and then to practice shading a sphere. This concept connects very well to the students' current studies of our solar system. They are learning how the sun's light on the planets as they rotate causes day and night; similarly, light shining on a sphere causes shadows and highlights.
Be sure to notice the shading on these artworks- they turned out very impressive! The students will tell you that getting to splatter-paint the stars in the background was the best part!
