Drawing Lesson


Description: In this drawing lesson, the focus was on light and dark elements. We used black construction paper and a white colored pencil to show the different elements. In order to create the flashlight effect, we traced a pizza-shaped outline to form a flashlight figure. We put an animal half inside of the outline and colored it in with crayon, and put the other half of the animal on the black paper with the white colored pencil. We also added in other animals and trees to create a background and added in various texture patterns. 

Extension: A fun and exciting extension activity that the students could do is having a scavenger hunt around our classroom or even the gym if available and turn the lights off and give each student their very own flashlight. Depending on what we are covering in class, I would print out selected images and have them use their flashlights to find them throughout the area we are in.
