1st Grade Art Project - Shadow Art

Since we've just finished our Science lesson on shadows, I decided to follow that up with an art project.

We set up a work area in our kitchen, where I placed a lamp (to create the shadow), a Wegman's can of beets (the only can I had), and a sheet of paper.

My daughter outlined the can on the sheet of paper, drew and colored her depiction of the can and made the shadow.

Simple, but fun! Here are the pictures.
