It's the end of the year, and I needed a quick, fun, and simple lesson. This lesson was perfect because it's fun, uses few supplies and takes little time. My second graders created these silhouette ocean scenes. I found the basic idea for this lesson at:

We discussed warm and cool colors to create the background. During the second class, students used black sharpies to create silhouettes.
