宇宙畫布：了解並繪製或繪製我們的太陽系

Hello space lovers and learners! I am so excited to learn about our solar system while creating art with you. 

Class begins with introductions and time for learners to share things they know about NASA, space, our planets, the Milky Way, other galaxies and more. Sometimes I even tell a space joke or two! 

Next, learners will make sure they have their paper or crafting supplies ready to go. Learners may draw using pencils, colored pencils, markers or crayons. If your learner prefers painting or using clay, they are welcome to do so! I’ve even had friends build planets with Lego bricks. 

Once we are all ready, we will begin learning about our solar system. We start with our sun, the biggest thing in our solar system. Next we will learn about and create mercury, Venus, Mars, the Asteroid Belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune! Learners are encouraged to think about the size and scale of each planet (or star), colors and placement within our solar system. 

At the end of class, students can spend time personalizing their solar systems if they wish. Does the sun need eyes and glasses? Sure thing! Do you want to draw all of Jupiter's moons? Have fun! Should you create your own planet? This is a fun class designed to get your learner thinking about our solar system.
