CONSTELLATION CHARTS
















When I did this "Planetarium" project with an Art After School class previously, it was at Comet Ping Pong, and the class was 2 hours long. For the 1-hour class in schools, we switched to black paper and metallic pens (rather than illustrating everything with colored pencil) to make it more time-efficient. The gold, silver, and colored metallic pens are, firstly, super fun to use, and second, may be better suited to a stars-and-space-themed project. I unfortunately don't have any pictures of the constellations projected onto the wall with a flashlight because the room was pretty bright even with the lights off, but here are a few pictures of students and their cool charts.
