3rd Grade- Country-scapes

In third grade we created country-scapes by learning about tints and shades and perspective.

Day 1- We discussed landscapes and how these include a foreground, middle ground, and background. We looked at some examples of landscapes and noticed that if the sun is setting, the background is lighter than the foreground. This then pulled in the idea of tints and shades. We drew 3 wavy-ish lines on our paper and painted it using tempera.



Day 2- We discussed perspective more and made a list of things that might be seen in the country. Students then drew on top of their paintings with pencil and oil pastel. The final projects turned out great.
