Shadow outlines
Shadow outlines
On a sunny day, take students outside. Have them stand with their legs apart and arms outstretched. On a large piece of paper, students have a friend trace around their shadow. (You could also scratch the shadow outline into sand or trace around with chalk on the asphalt).
In their workbooks, students sketch a copy of their shadow drawing and answer:
What features of your body can’t you see in your outline?
What is similar to the Aboriginal engravings you have seen?
