ART CAMP: Paint a Glowing Sunset With Silhouette
Class experience
US Grade 3 - 6
Beginner - Intermediate Level

2 lessons//1 Week
Week 1Lesson 1Painting the SunsetStudents will learn and practice "sunset order," or the part of the spectrum that is commonly visibly during a sunset. Students will practice painting with watercolors in a wet-on-wet technique that enables them to blend colors and hopefully reduce or prevent the appearance of solid lines of color. Students will learn about silhouettes: how and why objects appear black and solid with no discernible details when the light source is behind them.Lesson 2Painting the SilhouetteStudents will select an appropriate shape, structure, landscape or landmark for their silhouette. Students will either paint their silhouette or draw on black paper, cut out and glue. Details, such as very thin lines and tiny shapes, can be added with a thinline black marker if desired.
As a licensed art teacher, I have developed techniques for breaking down drawing and painting lessons into simple, easy-to-follow steps.
