The Grade 4 students made these lighthouses as a part of their Social Studies unit which explores landscapes in our province and across the country. Students started with a piece of blue construction paper. They used a pencil to sketch the hills and lighthouse. This was done as a step by step. They started by drawing the waterline, then a rock. The lighthouse was added next. I described it using basic shapes; a crooked rectangle, and a triangle. They finished the sketch by drawing the rolling hills behind the lighthouse. After the sketches were drawn, they coloured their lighthouse with red and grey stripes using pastel. I showed students that they could make their lighthouse look rounded by adding white to one edge and black to the other. They finished their artwork by colouring the rocks and rolling hills.
