Art Activity: The Northern Lights

2021

The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, inspired AGA architect Randall Stout in his design of the building. Can you guess which element that was? Create your own Northern Lights-inspired artwork using black or dark blue construction paper, chalk pastel, card stock, scissors and an old toothbrush.
1. Cut a wavy line through your cardstock with scissors; this is your stencil
2. Colour the stencil with chalk pastel and place it on your construction paper
3. Use the toothbrush to transfer the chalk from the stencil to the paper in sweeping strokes
4. Repeat and layer with different colours, making more than one image to create the illusion of movement
5. Use a stop motion app to create your own video and share it with us using #AGAcreate!
