Amazing Auroras!

Hey Bloggers for the last day of school we did an art piece on the Southern lights. The Southern lights are a natural phenomenon that lights up the night sky in different forms of reds, blues and greens. It is caused by solar winds that come from off the sun and nitrogen and oxygen atoms colliding, releasing amazing colours called Auroras. Here is my art piece

If you want to find out how I did this here are the instructions

For the art we had to rip a piece of paper so that it looked like a mountain range and stuck it on the bottom of a black piece of paper, then we put a bit of white paint on the end of a paint brush and and flicked the paint brush slightly, making stars in the night sky. Then we used chalk pastel and drew little lines of chalk in a pattern and brushed the chalk remains on to the black paper. We sprayed it with hair spray so that it stayed.

Do you like this kind of art? Have you ever seen a real life Aurora? Would you want to?

Bye Bloggers, Soph :)

Pretty Pastel

Hey Bloggers on Fridays we have had to do koru art. In my art I did pinks, purples and blues. Then we dyed the background, I decided to dye mine black because it brings out the pink. I found it a bit hard colouring with pastels because they don't have sharpened ends.

Do you like colouring with pastels?

Bye Bloggers, Soph :)
