This week the 6th grade artists continued to paint their Illinois inspired landscape and seascape watercolor paintings.
Students used the concept of the three parts of a landscape to create the illusion of linear perspective in their work.
Also, each student is using a variety of new watercolor techniques to enhance their realistic illusion through the watercolor medium. Students are using drybrush,wet-in-wet,graded wash ,salt resist, and a variety of new techniques to emphasize a facet of nature in their paintings.
Recently, students completed a unit on 1- point perspective,geometric solids,linear perspective and the shading a cube.
Some samples of this one- point perspective work can be found on this blog.

Students have used this prior knowledge to help make their landscapes and cityscapes look more realistic and three-dimensional in nature.
