Fall Landscapes - Grade 2



My second graders studied multiple works by Grant Wood.  They learned the terms "background," "foreground," "middleground," and "overlapping."  They also attempted to depict depth in a painting.

I hope these pieces made it home unfolded...uncrumpled...and unmarred.  I would hang any one of these in my home.

Wow, these are great! Love it that you used Grant Wood to inspire them, he's always been one of my faves.
