MSE's 3rd Grade Landscapes

MSE's 3rd graders looked at Matisse's patterns and designs as well as landscape paintings by the masters (such as Bierdstadt).  They then created their own landscapes with patterns.  Students identified foreground, middleground, and background.  We also talked about color patterns vs. shape or line patterns.

Students were excited to use their new markers and oil pastels on these brightly colored pieces!
