First Grade Rocket Ships

 First graders have been working on these paper reliefs.  First they designed Rocket Ships.  Their ships were colored in oil pastel and students worked hard to attempt to create shine and shadow to make ships look round.

 Then we created our skies.  Students used crayon to create distant planets and then Oil pastel to make some that appear closer and finally some glitter sand to really make things sparkle.  (The kids absolutely loved the glitter sand.  

 Finally they added the flames to their rocket ship.  They used scrap paper to cut out paper flames and then a variety of techniques to make their flames shoot from their rocket.
