Highland Constellation Project
The Highland Constellation Project ran during 2007/8, and featured a group of artists working in schools across the Highlands. With their help, the pupils created various pieces, including artwork and poetry, which culminated in the creation of a new constellation, made of stars selected by seven different schools. The project also saw the installation of several pieces of outdoor art at Glenuig, which showcase some of the pupils work, and allow visitors to identify the Highland Constellation.
Constellation Project for Primary Schools
Following the success of the Highland Constellation Project during 2007/8, artist Gill Russell and Astronomer Royal for Scotland, Professor John Brown have teamed up to lead a Primary Schools Constellation Project. This will be running as part of International Year of Astronomy 2009. Have a look at the project's website to find out more, and how to get involved.
