Shadow Picture

Shadow Picture
By Marcy Reynolds

As we approach the summer solstice, daylight is shining longer each day, giving us lots of chances to play in the sun. One activity I enjoy on a sunny afternoon is making a shadow picture outside. All you need is pencil or pen and a piece of paper.

• Take a walk at the Garden or in your neighborhood
• Find a shadow you like.
• Put a piece of paper on the sidewalk
• Draw a line along the outline of the shadow
• Observe the plant and color in the shadow picture you drew
• Share your art with us!  Email us.
