Then use black, blue, turquoise, and magenta watercolor paint to make the galaxy background Then use an old toothbrush and white tempera paint to splatter the stars Next use an old projector to trace the profile silhouette of each student on the back of the paper. Cut it out very carefully in one piece. The galaxy needs to be painted light if it’s going to be on black paper ( not too much black) If you want it on white paper then you can use more black. Next, use positive and negative stencils of clouds with tempera paint and a sponge. Overlap them at the bottom and keep the bottom dark to separate them. If you use white paper you can make white clouds on a daytime sky with a sun in the negative space using chalk. If it’s black paper then add some stars to the black space You can also use the background paper to make a hand and put an animal or the moon or something creative in the hand!! Last, create a moon and headphones with white paper and chalk. Glue this on last. Details can be added to the sky with chalk and India ink
