In this one-time class, we will create a stunning Moonlight Silhouette. First, we will observe and discuss color values from light to dark, what a gradient is, and how to apply it in works of art. The learners will choose their own color to create their background, so everyone's artwork is unique. We will then observe and discuss silhouettes, how they are created, and how they can also be applied in works of art. We will then draw silhouettes in the foreground, and together with the gradient moonlight in the background, we will incorporate the concepts of depth and composition. After our artwork is complete, we will engage in a discussion in which each learner will have the option to share their artwork with the group and talk about it. This concluding activity promotes positive discussion, strengthening communication as well as critical thinking skills.
Learning Goals
This lesson provides several positive learning outcomes. By creating images in silhouette in the foreground, along with a moonlit background, the learners are able to understand the elements of shape, color, and space as it applies to art. By observing and discussing examples of these concepts, the learners are also able to gain a deeper understanding of art in our world around us. Other learning outcomes include positive communication and critical thinking skills. Group discussion during the presentation and activity promotes positive communication, as does sharing the artworks in the concluding discussion. Additionally, the learners will utilize critical thinking skills by applying, analyzing and synthesizing their prior knowledge and experiences into the class discussion as well as into the artwork they create.
