Continuing our study of land this week, Wendy focused on perspective and
the different parts of landscape art (foreground, middle ground and background)
Wendy using her hands to show how things that are in the foreground appear larger even if they are really the same size.
Using their thumbs the kids tried to cover three spools of thread as they looked at them with one eye closed. They discovered they couldn't cover the one in the foreground. They were able to cover a little more of the spool in the middle ground and finally their thumb was able to make the spool in the background completely "disappear".
Wendy taught us how to break up our page into foreground, middle ground and background with a giant "Z".
The kids used the chalk to color their papers and then added in a variety of sizes
(small, medium and large) to the foreground, middle ground and background.
Artists' hard at work.
Some of the finished artwork.
