First Grade Solar Systems

First Grade has been learning all about our solar system with their classroom teacher.  So we created our own solar systems in Art class to reinforce their content knowledge.  Students cut out and traced the planets onto painting paper using the template below.  I provided some images of planets to reference when painting their sun and planets too.  Students then splatter painted a black piece of paper with white paint for their starry skies.  To finish, students cut out and arranged their painted planets onto their starry skies.
