Autumn Artwork: Harvest Moon Silhouettes

Our fourth graders were really excited to have our first two art projects with Mrs. Loubet!   Our art project took two sessions to complete because of the painting but it was well worth it!

Students started by creating a harvest moon.  They had red, orange, yellow, and white which were all used to create a mix of colors and shades that made the moon blend perfectly and in a gradient.

From there, students added silhouettes of something fall/Halloween/harvest onto the background to give a shadowy silhouette illusion.  Here is the result!

They turned out great!!  I'm so impressed and can't wait to see what we do next for art - this is such an artsy group!  Write ART on your planner for bonus points tonight!
