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.
