Silhouette Art

 


This activity used water color techniques to create a background, and construction paper to make a middle and foreground. The lesson taught different brush and texture techniques, which were helpful in making a background. We then cut out silhouettes to create the middle and foreground.

Extension Activity:

I would have students cut out a silhouette of

themselves or of a historic figure and paint

a background of what they may

have seen to inspire them into action.
