For Matariki this year, we mixed it with the southern lights to make it more interesting. The southern lights are a natural phenomenon caused by little pieces of the sun called sun wid breaking through earths magnetic field into the atmosphere and exciting the oxygen and nitrogen particles, producing brightly coloured lights that seem to float in the sky. The southern lights (or aurora australis) appear in the south pole (the antarctic), whilst the northern lights (aurora borealis) appear in the north pole(the antarctic). For our art piece, we took a black piece of paper, ripped a bit of white goos paper to look like mountains, splattered a little bit of white paint to look like the stars, drew chalk pastel on the white paper, dragged it up to look like the lights and used a little bit of yellow paint mixed with white to paint the Matariki cluster.
Here's mine!
Did you learn something about the southern lights from this post?
See Ya Soon!
