The first grade students at Kiel School created African Animal Silhouettes. They drew their animals with detail and then cut a silhouette shape out of black paper. They painted the sunset blending warm colors of red and yellow. Finally, they glued their silhouettes onto a sunset background. This lesson was a study of shape, color, line and contrast. Below the silhouettes are samples of the second grader's study of Van Gogh, and their Still Life paintings from real sunflowers.
