About this lesson
Encourage creativity and observation as students are inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ Sky Color. In this imaginative art lesson, learners discover how skies appear in countless hues while exploring the scientific processes of weathering and erosion that shape Earth’s mountains. Using oil pastels, students blend their own beautifully colored skies and add realistic mountain formations to the foreground, showing how landscapes evolve over time. The final pieces are stunning works of art that make complex Earth science concepts visible and meaningful.
