The African Safari: African Landscape Silhouettes

4th Grade has been working on their landscape unit the past 2 months. We just recently completed Austrian Landscapes and are now moving onto Africa. Students used warm colors to create their blended background sky and we then went into exploring silhouettes and the effects of light. Students created their own stencils and looked at a variety of African Silhouette images. We explored the various animals that live in African and the types of trees and plant life there. They then created these beautiful painted landscapes! Enjoy!
