Light, Shadows and Reflections

Drawing Shadows

Using shadows to create this artwork, your child will recognise how shadows are formed and how they can change size.

Throughout our Light, Shadows & Reflections topic you will learn about making shadows, looking at and measuring shadow size and making shadow puppets. Beyond shadows you learn about mirrors and reflections in artwork and colour.
