Aurora Borealis

This art lesson connected what the homeroom teacher was teaching them. The students had just done a month long project about the Iditarod and Alaska. Using blue and purple construction paper and pastels they created the sky. I gave a demonstration on blending the pastels. Than after a lesson about silhouettes they used black construction paper to make hills, snow drifts, trees, animals. The results was really beautiful and each students looked very unique. The lesson took two days.
