Fourth Grade Value Study

Fourth grade students reviewed and discussed the difference between shapes and forms.  Next we traced our shapes and added value to each of them.  We decided to make the imaginary light source come from the left side so that the left of each object appeared to be lightest.  We prepared a surface on which our shapes would sit and then cut and glued our shapes to the surface.  Black was added to the right side of the shapes and underneath.  The end product turned out great!  

I found this wonderful lesson from another art teacher on line, but sadly can't remember where.
