4th Grade | Warm & Cool Bugs

4th Grade is just about finished with their warm and cool bugs!  We focused on line, color, and tints and shades for this lesson.  First the kids drew a (freehand) "contour" line drawing of a bug of their choice.  Then, using rulers, they divided the drawing into several shapes using "intersecting" lines.  They choose warm or cool colors to color in their bugs then the opposite for their backgrounds.  They finished up by adding "tints" and "shades" to each shape!  See if your child can tell you what a tint and a shade are.
