Aurora Lights

Student artists in 4th & 5th grade learned about the Aurora lights. We often here these called "Northern Lights" but we learned that this beautiful light show occurs over both the North and South poles. If you want to see the video we watched about the Aurora lights, you can view it here.

First we got to work making our black papers bright with streaks of light using chalk. This chalk is much messier than sidewalk or chalk board chalk. Most students really liked getting their hands dirty with chalk. 

Using a dark acrylic paint, we added a silhouette of trees in front of the Aurora lights.
