Summer Silhouette Art

This is one of my favorite summer art projects. It really is stunning! 

First, use a paint brush to wet the entire sheet of white construction paper with water. Next, add several layers of colors using watercolor paints to create a sunset.  The more imperfect it is, the better it will look when completed.


Cut out shapes (silhouettes) using black construction paper to create a relaxing summer scene. When the sunset painting has dried, glue on the silhouettes. 

I add a solid black sheet of construction paper for the back to create a frame.
It really makes the project pop!


Just breathtaking!


Can you see why I love these? Each child's creation is unique yet gorgeous.


Enjoy the remaining days of summer!
