The Scream

 

I love the way this project came out!  We looked at Edward Munch's "The Scream" and discussed how the colors and brushstrokes used showed emotion.  Students recreated his composition using chalk pastels on black construction paper.  They then drew the scream figure on a piece of manilla paper, cut him out and glued him onto their background.

Warm/Cool Sun and Moons

Students review warm (reds, yellows, oranges) and cool (blues, greens, purples) colors. The sun represents warm colors and the moon represents cool colors. Draw a circle with a crescent shape inside. The moon's face is drawn in profile while the sun's face is drawn as a frontal view. Color with chalk pastels practicing blending colors to create shading.
