Participate in a creative visualisation of rising into the sky and passing through rainbow clouds at sunset. Imagine the blue bubble of the atmosphere surrounding our planet - and what it is like to breathe in that blue colour. Discuss what would it be like to live in a world with a sky (atmosphere) of a different colour, e.g. green, red or yellow ? Close your Eyes and visualise it and then draw or paint the experience. |
