Southern Lights Artwork!

Hi bloggers, thank you for viewing this blog post. Today we have been creating Southern Lights artwork and learning about them. The Southern Lights usually occurs in areas known as the 'auroral zone' near the poles in the north and Antarctic in the south. Aurora is caused by the collision of energetically charged particles with atoms in the high altitude thermosphere within our atmosphere. Auroras are associated with the solar winds that flow past the Earth. These winds flow out from the Sun and contain plasma particles (ionized gas) which gets pulled into the Earth magnetic pole fields. For the Southern Lights art I first had to rip my paper into a mountain like template. Then I had to flick white pain on to make it look like the milky way. Then I had to decide what colours I wanted to use I chose light pink, purple, dark green, dark blue, light blue and yellow. And lastly I added my matariki stars. I am really happy with how this has turned out and love them colour combination. What do you think? Do you like the colours I chose? Have you ever created a Southern Lights art piece?
