Since ancient times Humans have looked to the sky, imagining the outlines of shapes from life on Earth, from the configuration of star constellations. Taurus the Bull, Ursa Major; The Great Bear, Orion the Hunter, and Gemini; the Twins.
For This Project
all you need is:
•A large sheet of paper or cardboard.
•A pencil.
•Masking tape.
Look up at the sky at night, can you see any patterns in the stars?
You can make something up from your imagination, a mythical beast, a friendly pet or a favourite tree?
Just draw the outline of anything you like, then draw a star constellation inside your shape.
With the pencil pierce the paper through the star points.
Finally use masking tape to fix the paper to a window.
Watch sunlight flicker, like stars.
