of the 8 phases of the moon using a graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop. Start by creating a black background and then draw a white circle in the center to represent the moon. Then, use the brush tool to draw the different phases of the moon, starting with the new moon and ending with the full moon. For each phase, use the brush tool to draw the shape of the moon and then use the eraser tool to create the shadows and highlights to represent the percent of illumination. For the waxing and waning phases, draw a curved line to represent the increasing or decreasing size of the moon. Finally, add labels to each phase to indicate the name of the phase.
