Sunset Pictures

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Sunsets and shadows are lovely subjects for creative projects. Kids take a good look at images of sunsets, then use paint and construction paper to create a silhouetted sunset image. Tip: This project is a great way to illustrate a poem or for the cover of a portfolio.
