Beautiful Planet

Students reflect on the beauty of our home planet as they create poetry and an artful representation of Earth. This 90-minute scripted art lesson can be easily divided into two 45-minute lessons. Hanging the final projects from the ceiling creates an impressive display. Click on the image above to see an example of the "Beautiful Planet" art project.
