Snowmen at Night by Carolyn Buehner inspired our Gr 1/2 and Kindergarten to practice rendering form in light and shadow. This book offers great visuals when discussing this abstract concept to young artists. We used table lamps to look at light and the shadows it creates on simple round forms. In our paintings we practiced using very small amounts of blue over white paint to suggest those same shadow forms.
