One of the most difficult challenges for young artists is to put colored media aside and try to achieve a working composition using silhouette imagery. The first thing we did was draw our animals and background using only black and brown markers. We also designed some animal print paper along with some that we found and drew plants which we cut out. We then created a border by tearing the paper and adding it in sensible places, and finally added a handmade picture hanger.
Our students were encouraged to come up with some creative changes appropriate to the project.
The younger kids had just as much fun learning as the older kids did!
There is nothing like knowing you did a good job to inspire confidence!
