This document provides instructions for a homework assignment to draw a scene from a fairy tale or story using silhouettes. Students are asked to choose a moment, draw at least 3 silhouettes including characters and objects, and can color or cut them out. Older students should add more details like backgrounds, layers of silhouettes, and using different colors to bring the silhouettes together into a cohesive scene from a story.

1. Homework: Silhouette
Choose a scene from a fairy tale or popular story.
Draw the moment you have chosen. All the characters and objects should be silhouettes.
You can either colour in the silhouettes or cut them from paper and stick them in your book.
Level 4/5:
Carefully create at least 3 silhouettes in your scene. They do not all have to be people.
The three silhouettes could include animals, furniture or a decorative border.
Tip: It is more effective if hands, arms and legs are pointing away from the body.
Level 6:
Include a background. This could be drawn in
pencil or you could find an image.
Tip: This works best when the background is
pale.
Level 7:
Create silhouettes within
silhouettes.
Tip: Using different colours could
help pick out the different layers of
silhouettes.
