5th grade landscape painting

The fifth grade worked on a landscape painting that scaffolded off of the trees they did in 3rd and 4th grades. They drew their birch trees with white and black craypas. They were instructed in how to use aerial perspective by paying attention to the size and placement of the trees. After the birches were put in any other details  we're added such as buildings, paths, roads. 

I presented a PowerPoint to the students with examples of trees, forests, paths and photographs of aerial perspective examples. They did a test drawing to experiment with the ideas before they began their actual painting. 


After we made a grey tree line that gave depth using watercolor

The ground and the leaves we're painted with a combination of watercolor and tempera paint.  This was their first attempt at intentional realism.
