"Fun is good." - Dr. Seuss Landscapes

student completed work.

Fun is awesome - and what is not to enjoy about the artwork of Dr. Seuss? This project was a simple combination of landscape drawing (foreground, middle ground, background) with pattern in order to create these very fun and vibrant landscape images.

Teaching landscapes is probably one of my favorite subjects to introduce to my younger students.  After they see what a foreground, middle ground, and background does to create depth they feel so accomplished - like they should be.  For this lesson, Collage Landscapes, I wanted to share how my 5th grade class used the colors and size of cut up magazines to create these very abstract and vibrant landscapes.
