3. Use graphic techniques (engraving, carving, scratching) with a stylus to add shadows (reflective light, cast shadow) to the Cow Jumping Over The Moon Collages
Day Three, Art Start
1. Retrieve Cow Jumping Over Moon Collages for Assigned Tables
2. Set Up Studio Area (oil pastels, watercolor, glue sticks, foil, glitter)
Lesson Activities
1. Use graphic techniques (engraving, carving, scratching) with a stylus to finish adding details (clouds, stars, shooting stars) to the Cow Jumping Over The Moon Collages
