Bamboo at Night...

5th grade students started by using circle tracers to cut out their moons. I gave the kids a 6x6 inch piece of white paper for the moons.

Then we glued the moon to 12 x18 inch orange construction paper.

Some students painted their moons gray or added craters.

Using watered down black tempera paint start at the bottom of the paper and create 2 or 3 bamboo shoots that cross over each other. We left spaces between the shoot sections were the orange paper showed through.
