Chalk Pastel Planets

The 5th graders were learning about planetary bodies so we incorporated a space theme into this project. We used black paper and chalk pastels

Students were instructed to use light and shadows (the sun as the light source) to create the illusion of a 3rd dimension. 

Because chalk pastels will easily smudge, it helps to cover the final project with hairspray which acts as a fixative. (We recommend good ventilation for this part.)
