I am very excited to share these beautiful mixed media landscapes focusing on famous bridges. Students learned about using a horizon line and showing space with size changes and line directions. We used a combination of Sharpie, watercolor and oil pastel on construction paper. Thanks so much to this article at Arts and Activities magazine (which I found on Pinterest) for the inspiration!
Here is a handout for the students to practice their drawings in our sketchbooks before starting final copies:
What a great lesson! The art work is beautiful! The pieces look like the students enjoyed creating them! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the expressive colors and bridge details in these!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lesson.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and lines.
Love this lesson: the explosion of colors and the solid lines and shapes of the bridge. I've done many building lessons but rarely bridges. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI will be trying this today! I'll let you know how it goes :)
