1st Grade - Impressionist Landscapes

Students learned about landscapes and the use of a horizon line in this lesson.  They brainstormed as a class a list of things that could go in a landscape before drawing theirs on a piece of black paper.  Next, they traced over all their pencil lines with just the right amount of white glue.  Once dry, we discussed impressionism while looking at several paintings.  They applied the impressionist technique with chalk pastels to finish off their landscapes.
