TALKING ABOUT HOW GREAT ARTISTS USE SPACE WITHIN A LANDSCAPE…
Introduce the vocabulary and discuss the concept of creating the illusion of space by using a distinct foreground, middleground, and background. 
Three examples start great conversations. Each has 4 accompanying questions to get students really looking at the different parts of landscape and how the artist is successful in creating it. 
 
Teacher page covers 7 techniques artists use to make a successful and clear landscape. It’s impossible to create a foreground, middleground, and background without understanding some basic techniques that artists use to create space on a two dimensional paper.
 
The 3 paintings can be printed or viewed as PDF on screen so it makes for better group viewing.
