I made and taught these Art lessons alongside our class Victorians topic, helping children to understand why silhouette artwork became popular in the Victorian period, how silhouettes are made and identifying everyday objects by their silhouettes.
The first lesson is an introduction, as described above. The task gets children to match images of everyday objects with its silhouette.
The second lesson gets children to work in small groups to sketch their portrait silhouette outlines using torches and pencils.
The third lesson brings a modern twist to the portrait silhouette, by getting children to fill their portrait not with solid black, but with drawings and colour linked to their own personality (which could be linked to Mindfulness in PHSE).
UPDATE 27/03/2019 Presentation now available in Powerpoint format.

Lots of info & ideas for 3 lessons. Saved me lots of time and thought. I've tweaked slightly to fit my needs - Victorians, art, science. Thank you for creating it in PowerPoint too!
I've bought this and can't open it up on my laptop or computer.
