Prairie art

We did prairie landscapes using the element of lines. Lines can be used to create movement, space, and draw our attentions. As a class, we looked at photos of prairie landscapes talking about the different lines we could see in the grass and plains. Lines that were made by colour, wind, and grass length. We then took that idea of lines in prairies to create our own prairie landscapes.

Curriculum connection:

“A horizontal line can be used to divide the picture plane into interesting and varied proportions of sky and ground.”

“Natural forms have different surface qualities in colour, texture and tone.”
