Northern Lights Pastel Art Activity

January 13, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

This pretty northern lights art project is a great way to talk to kids about why the northern lights happen, color mixing, using pastels and more.

If you have a set of pastels already this is a quick prep activity you can do at home or in the classroom.

Check out all the details over at Taming Little Monsters. I’ll bet you’ll want to make one of these pretty projects yourself, too!

Why are guided art lessons important for Children?

Guided art instruction is important for children for several reasons:

It provides a structure for learning: Guided art instruction gives children a framework for learning and practicing new skills. This can help them to better understand and retain the information they are being taught.

It promotes creativity: Guided art instruction allows children to explore different art forms and techniques, which can help to encourage their own creativity.

It develops fine motor skills: Many art activities involve the use of small tools and materials, which can help to strengthen children’s fine motor skills.

It improves cognitive development: Art activities can help children to develop important cognitive skills such as problem-solving, spatial awareness, and visual-spatial intelligence.

It allows children to express themselves: Art is a powerful form of self-expression, and guided art instruction can help children to develop their own unique voice and style.

It can foster emotional and mental well-being: Engaging in art activities can be a great way for children to process their emotions and feelings. It can help them to relax and feel more calm, and boost their self-esteem and confidence.

It can be a way to learn about different cultures and historical context: Guided art instruction can also provide an opportunity for children to learn about different cultures and time periods through art history and techniques.
