This week we continued our discussion about color by focusing on warm and cool colors. Since we all have the Lion King on the brain (school play coming up!) I thought it might be fun to look at pictures from the African plains during the day and evening for inspiration. After a great discussion about warm and cool colors students began by creating a silhouette of a tree in the foreground for a focal point. Next, they used warm colors to create a beautiful sunset. The cool color painting was created after a silhouette and stars were added. When these two paintings are mounted together they look amazing!
