4)  Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day today!  Go outside and 'trace' shadows! Use either sidewalk chalk and a piece of cement, or a pencil and your visual journal.

• Experiment with the shadows you create (e.g. objects, body poses, different accessories like your bike)!  Experiment with the time of day you trace the shadows!  
• What do you notice about the shadows?  Do they stay the same or change throughout the day?  What parts of the objects are completely black in the shadow and what parts allow a little bit of light through?  Why?
