2nd and 3rd Grade Assignment #3

Draw a Landscape

Objective: Students will draw a landscape making sure that they draw an object above the horizon line, below the horizon line, and crossing the horizon line.

Materials: landscape prints, crayons and paper

Procedure: First, we review the differences between vertical, diagonal and horizontal lines. You cannot spell horizontal without h-o-r-i-z-o-n. The horizon line is the imaginary horizontal line where the sky touches the ground. We will look at five different landscapes, from five different artists, from five different time periods, from five different countries. Students will help me identify the horizon line using a horizontal yard stick for help. We see that the horizon line is NEVER at the bottom edge of the painting. Students will then follow a demonstration by me, drawing an object above the horizon line, one below, and one through, and finally the horizon line BEHIND the objects crossing.

Vocabulary: line   perspective   vertical   horizontal   diagonal   horizon
