Augustine Art @ Home, Shadow Art


This week I'll be posting two videos- one designed specifically for younger students (K- 2nd grade) and one for students in third grade and up. Really anyone might enjoy either project, but the second one will involve some adult or older sibling help for the younger guys.

This first activity requires the following:
a sunny day
paper
something to draw and color with
toys or other fun objects
your imagination

In my video I only talk about the rocks, toys, and stick that I use as options for shadow making, but really you can use anything to create shadows. Find some fun objects in your house or yard and experiment. This may also be a neat opportunity to talk about the movement of the sun throughout the day. Try recording the shadows from morning to afternoon and see how they change. 



I hope you enjoy my “kind-of-sloppy” finished product shown below. I call this one “Spotted Cow, Dr. Seuss Tree, and Monkey-Face Lamb in a Lush Green Pasture”.
