In their art class, 1st graders learned about landscapes and how to use a horizon line in their artwork to create a sense of depth and space.We also looked at the artwork of textile designer and illustrator Eloise Renouf for inspiration.
To create their fall
landscapes, students first created a painted paper background using cool colors.
Farmingville artists also created other painted papers to be used as shapes for
their trees later on.
Students traced and cut
out shapes for their trees and used printing
not painting to create branches.
They then collaged their tree shapes and grass using overlapping…added some more printing for trunks and
ta-da...fantastic collaged landscapes!
