1st grade Landscapes

Thanks to The Crayon Lab for the lesson, 1st graders discussed the parts of a landscape and the artwork of Wolf Kahn.  Students know vocabulary like Horizon Line and Depth.  Students understand that artists show depth by making objects smaller and higher on the page.

Wolf Kahn's landscapes are very free and loose and certainly very colorful.  1st graders used liquid watercolors to brighten their landscapes with vivid colors.

3rd grade Landscapes

3rd grade students learned about the life and artwork of Atlanta artist, Ford Smith (http://fordsmithfineart.com/). He is a landscape painter known for his use of color. Students created landscapes with depth by forming a foreground, middle-ground, and background and altering the placement and size of landscape details.

1st grade

1st graders have been learning about Joan Miro and his use of lines and shapes. Students discussed landscapes and horizon lines, and created a Miro inspired Line landscape collage.
