Question

Directions: You need to create an original piece of artwork physically or digitally of the 8 phases of the moon. Create your artwork in great detail and accuracy and without words or labels.

Make sure it displays: waxing, waning, gibbous, crescent, first quarter, third quarter, full moon, new moon, percent of illumination.

Answer 1

The artwork would be a series of 8 circles, each one representing a different phase of the moon. The first circle would be a crescent shape, representing the new moon. The second circle would be a slightly larger crescent shape, representing the waxing crescent. The third circle would be a half circle, representing the first quarter. The fourth circle would be a slightly larger half circle, representing the waxing gibbous. The fifth circle would be a full circle, representing the full moon. The sixth circle would be a slightly smaller half circle, representing the waning gibbous. The seventh circle would be a smaller crescent shape, representing the third quarter. The eighth circle would be a smaller crescent shape, representing the waning crescent. Each circle would also have a number indicating the percent of illumination for that phase.
