Fireflies!

Sample Project by Ms. Ammons

Summer is getting so close!  I was inspired by my niece and her hunt for fireflies when I thought of this project.  Their lights in the night sky are sure signs of the summer season.

This week you will use the coloring skills we have practiced (even coloring, blended colors and value scales), and what you know about value and perspective, to create a night scene full of fireflies.   You will use lines, shapes, colors and patterns.  Follow along in the video, but feel free to make yours different!  

Project Goals:  (4=A, 3=B, 2=C, 1=D)

1. Value:  Did you use light, medium and dark values around each source of light?

2.  Perspective:  Did you show perspective by making each layer of grass lighter as you approach the horizon line and by making patterns grow smaller in the distance?  

3.  Coloring:  Did you blend colors and color evenly?

4.  Creativity:  Did you make independent choices and add details that make your work different?
