Landscapes

Friday we started on a landscape acrylic painting.  As a class, we talked about the parts of a normal landscape such as having a foreground, middle ground and background.  We also discussed how to make landscapes look like they are 3D on a flat piece of paper.  Some of the techniques we talked about were: making things look smaller as they go farther back, overlapping things, as well as atmospheric perspective.  It was fun to go on a walk outside and see how even the landscape around us has these things happening in it.

We also finished our stick buddies that we created from our sticks that we gathered and drew with a few days ago.  They turned out very colorful and fun!
