In 3rd grade, we recently finished up a landscape project. Our focus was to create the illusion of deep space in our picture. We discussed how object size and location on the paper helps to create this illusion. We also learned the terms used to describe the different locations in a landscape; foreground, middle ground, and background. The students were required to draw a barn in the background and a scarecrow in the foreground. They could include other objects to make their farm landscape interesting and unique. We also practiced using a vanishing point with converging lines to accentuate the depth of space. This was a project with a lot of opportunity for creative solutions and details, while practicing drawing skills.
