• I chose bold colors—green and red—which made the objects stand out and created strong contrast.

• The dark background helps the shapes pop and adds drama to the scene.

• I tried using shadows and highlights to show the form, especially on the round shapes.

• It was a challenge to blend the colors smoothly and keep the proportions correct, but I learned a lot.

Reflecting on My Teaching

• I can guide students to use contrast and bold color to show mood and focus.

• I’ll teach simple ways to blend paint and show light and shadow.

• I want to support students in trying new things and not being afraid of bold choices

To adapt this lesson to different ages, I would make it simpler for young students, using fewer shapes and stronger light. For older or more mature students, I could use colored lighting or introduce a color value scale
