Silhouette/Monochromatic
Grade 6 and 7 classes drew lines shaping the outer form of recognizable objects then painted them black like a traditional silhouette. The objects stand out from the background which was created by color mixing experimentation. At least 5 different shades of the same color were concocted for this assignment.
