Art

Grade Lvl:3-5

In this breathtaking art and astronomy lesson, students explore the science behind stars and constellations. Learners discover why constellations were created, how they help humans navigate and tell stories, and how Earth’s rotation changes which constellations we see throughout the year. Using this knowledge, students paint a night-sky background with a reverse-painted silhouette in the foreground, then finish the scene with a glowing constellation of their choice. The combination of science, storytelling, and painting creates stunning, meaningful artwork that captures the wonder of the universe.
