Tints and Shades Landscapes

Fifth graders learned the concept of value and how to create a proper monochromatic (one color) value scale using tints (color + white) and shades (color + black) and a midtone (middle color with no black or white added). They then used their monochromatic value scale to create a sky. Brighter near the moon and darker in the distance. They then used black construction paper to make a foreground silhouette.

Enjoy!
