Art Project Tutorial:
Cut out a circle from your cardboard.
(Optional use of paper plate instead) Look at the pictures of Jupiter. Draw in
some lines to represent the different
colors. Make a big space for the Great
Red Spot Spread out and separate your beans by
color. Start to glue your beans! Add in another color of the atmosphere. Start adding in the rest of the colors by
looking at the photo of Jupiter and
swirling the colors. Fill up the entire circle and let your
planet dry for a while. You can mount your planet to black tag board and draw in the moons as well.
