I would love to see the Aurora Borealis someday, but for now I'll settle for teaching it! I think the kids will really enjoy the freedom of this project, although we will learn about Aurora Borealis and look at photos, ultimately they will create their own colors in the sky. Materials: Black Paper Chalk Pastels Oil Pastels Pencils and erasers Paper towels I was inspired by these photos: I'll also show them this video: http://vimeo.com/21294655 Which is a gorgeous film of the Aurora Borealis Then we'll talk very simply about what creates the magical lights in the sky. Energetic particles (Solar Storm) are released by the sun and travel to earth's atmosphere where they get caught in the earth's magnetic fields. These magnetic fields grab the particles and bring them to the North and South Poles of the earth. When the particles combine with Oxygen (greens and blues) and Nitrogen (reds, purples) gas in the thin upper atmosphere of the polar regions they glow. Greens are the most common and closer to the earth, Reds are usually higher in the sky. Although Auroras happen during the day too - they are only visible at night. Just the opposite of a rainbow. The Northern Lights are called Aurora Borealis and the Southern Lights are called Aurora Australis. I'll start the lesson by demonstrating and then having them draw a line horizontally across their paper about an inch above the bottom. Then I'll draw the hills and so will they. I'll outline each area so there is a black space in between to define the shapes. At this point they will watch me demonstrate the oil pastel drawing at the bottom. I didn't use any white for this only a few greys, blues and purple. The area at the bottom can be either a field of snow or even a river filled with chunks of ice, and mountains in the background. After they do their own oil pastel portion I'll demonstrate the chalk pastel and have them do some guided experimenting before turning them loose to create. I'll hand out some paper towels for the students to wipe their hands since these materials are messy. They should start with just a few lines drawn in pencil to guide them with the Aurora Borealis. First lay down an area of dark blue using the side of the chalk pastel - press lightly and keep the area just above the mountains empty/black. I used Greens and Blues - mostly on their sides at first and drew with an upward motion, trying to show movement in my sky. I will give my students another piece of black paper to experiment on, and emphasize how the direction they use to draw with the pastels will create movement within their landscape. I will also emphasize pressing very lightly with the pastels on the paper - putting the color on where they want it and leaving it alone. They should work dark to light. That's how they get the colors be seen separately and not all blended together into one muddy area of color. I'll give them a few minutes to experiment on another piece of paper. I didn't use any white for the Aurora - I 'feather lightly' used some blues, then purple and finally a little red in the top ones. I added some light green and yellow to try and get them to glow like the photos. I used my finger to blend the lower edges of the Aurora - I will demonstrate this for the students and have them try it too. The biggest challenge for this project is going to be getting them to stop every now and then to look at their drawings and decide if they are finished. It is very common when students are using new and/or unusual materials to get caught up in the activity of experimenting with them, losing sight of how the composition looks and overworking it. The layers of color go on very quickly - so I'll be stopping them a few times and asking them to access their progress. Once they decide they are finished it's time to add the stars to the sky. I experimented with both chalk and oil pastels - I think the oil pastels worked best. They should use varying sizes of stars/dots - some tiny and some larger, and just look at it as they are working to see if they have a balanced amount of stars throughout the sky. A great winter landscape project with Science and Art combined. 1st Grade Student Work:

LITERAL: This is a (possible joke) sign that indicates that there will be wombats. ABSTRACT: As signs like these are usually warnings, the joke may be that wombats are not particularly dangerous. FEELINGS: I feel that there's a strong chance that this was put up as a joke, but there is also always the chance that it is serious. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: Depending on where this sign was put up (I don't actually know IF it was) it can be applicable to real life as there may well be wombats coming up. LITERAL: This sign shows that there are diggers working up ahead. ABSTRACT: A hidden meaning could be that, because of the red of the outline of the triangle, that it is in fact another danger sign. FEELINGS: I feel that this sign may be helpful. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: This sign would likely be found in an urban area; on (the side of) a road somewhere in front of road workers. LITERAL: Another sign, this time the fairly recognisable stop sign. ABSTRACT: Once more, the red (being a hot colour and often linked to anger; danger etc) could be a signal to warn people away. FEELINGS: I would find this one helpful too, as it could avert a person from going the wrong way. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: I would think that these stop signs were very uncommonly seen, if at all, before the invention and widespread use of cars as transport, therefore they are a fairly recent sign. LITRAL: This is a detailed graffiti of Batman. ABSTRACT: The fact that this is graffiti means it isn't supposed to be here, perhaps linking to what the image here is. FEELINGS: I am interested with this piece as it is very well-done and must have taken some time for planning and to produce. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: Being graffiti, this would likely be placed in an area where it will be seen by many people, be that a town centre, train station wall, etc. LITERAL: Another road sign, this time to warn people of bears, for the humans' and the bears' safety. ABSTRACT: Yellow is often used for hazard symbols, and it is used here, so piecing two and two together would suggest that the bears are a hazard. FEELINGS: This makes me feel as if the bears cannot look out for themselves, that these signs, created by humans, are needed to keep them safe. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: This would only be seen in an area which has many bears in it. LITERAL: Another graffiti, this one is of what looks like a lizard or dinosaur or something. ABSTRACT: This one is particularly large and was probably done to be seen by many more people or to be controversial for the fact that it is so large. FEELINGS: I do not know what this particular piece's meaning is, therefore I feel confused at why it is there. CULTURAL/SOCIAL: It looks as if this was put on a big building which has many countries' support, as is evident by the flags.
