Third Grade Lost in Space

Definitely the highlight of 3rd Grade art. Students are always anxious to create these pieces. I use large poster boards that are donated from a paper company in town, otherwise it would be super expensive to buy a poster board for each student! This work includes many art skills including perspective, fantasy, color blending, drawing, painting, oil pastel work, etc. Students trace their hands and feet in the corners of the poster board and use rulers to create one point perspective. We then talk about what we would look like and how we would feel if we were floating in outer space. Students then completed their person with great details to reveal these emotions! We added outer space details to the background with oil pastels and then used black tempera to complete. Awesome work Third Grade!
