These are so happy! A very simple lesson... we looked at the art of Laurel Burch. She is most known for her cats, but she did some other subjects like suns & moons too. Students could decide which, sun, moon or a sun/moon combo. We worked in warms and cools.
First step, we traced a 8" circle in the middle of a 18x18 piece of colored construction. We drew very little with pencil. The large eyes, long nose. Then depending on what type of ray... triangular or more soft, they drew one at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. Then we got the paint out and outlines the pencil lines carefully, and added more rays and details. The second day, we started coloring. I recommended warm and cool colors, since we discussed all the color groups. But I always like to leave it up to them. It is always more creative looking.
