Fourth Grade Landscapes

Fourth Grade artists started this project by each receiving a laminated landscape and worked with a friend to find the foreground, middleground, backgrounds, and horizen lines in each piece. 

We did several sketches and then chose our best ones to transfer to the large paper. We worked hard to use lines and patterns in our work to make them interesting and unique.  

We even had a prize drawing for those of us who could get these answers correct!

The results are beautiful aren't they?

Learning Goals:

I can identify the foreground, middle ground, background and horizon line in a photo or artwork.
I can use size and overlapping to show space in my artwork.
I can use warm colors to make some things pop out and cold colors to make some thing recede.
I can use patterns in my work.

Kindergarten texture tractors

We talked about landscapes and read a book about a pumpkin patch. We drew our own barn with a horizon line, fence, field rows, and a tractor!

After we drew the tractors, we took texturr plates and put them under our papers to rub crayons over. It was like magic to see the textures appear on our papers!

Finally, we did a little collage by cutting pumpkins out of orange paper and gluing them on to our artwork!

Learning Goals:

I can draw a horizon line

I can create texture with a texture plate

I can use the art elements of lines and shapes to draw a barn and a tractor

I can create part of a collage by cutting out pumpkins and gluing them to my artwork
