3rd Grade- Solar System Watercolor Resist Paintings!

I did this project to reinforce the solar system with 3rd grade. We started by reviewing the planets in order and also talked about what they looked like. Then, the students drew the planets in order with crayon. I told them to bear down really hard with their crayons so it would be waxy. They could also add spaceships and stars in the background if they wanted to. The next day they painted over the whole drawing with black liquid watercolor. I LOVE the result! Fun project!!
