2nd Grade- Desert-scapes

There are so many types of landscapes. In second grade, we focus on desert-scapes.

Day 1- Fold paper in half long ways. We then looked at pictures of sunsets. We drew the sun with chalk pastel above the fold. Next, we added more colors of chalk until we reached the edge of the paper. We then used a paper towel to rub the chalk together. We discussed that you need to rub lik a wind-shield wiper and once you go towards the edge of the paper, your can't go back in or the colors will mix too much and become muddy. Next, we took torn paper and glued them  overlapping to create a foreground and background appearance.

Day 2- We shaded the foreground with an art stix to make it look darker because it is further from the sun. We then received yellow construction paper to make pyramids and camel silhouettes. Lastly, we cut out the pyramids and camels and glued them to our paper.
