Most importantly, HAVE FUN!
No Technology needed:
K-1
Draw your house in the middle of your paper. DO NOT draw a line across the bottom for the ground! Make your house large. Add as many details as you can – door, windows, trees, bushes, chimney. Add a horizon line that goes BEHIND your house with a disappearing line across the middle of the page.
Using size and placement to make flowers look like they are getting farther away.
K-2
Draw a line across the middle of the paper. This is your horizon line. Starting at the bottom, draw several large flowers. Now, draw some flowers a little higher on the page and make them a little bit smaller. Next, draw some very small flowers above those. Don’t draw past the horizon line. Do your flowers look like they are getting smaller? Lastly, add some clouds above your horizon line and color if like!3-5
“En plein air” is French for “in the open air”. Would you like to create art en plein air? Well, you can! Grab paper, a drawing tool, and something flat and hard, like a book, to place your paper on. Go outside and look around for a landscape view you like. Have a seat and look carefully at the landscape you want to draw. Think about where and how you will place the objects you see. Use what you know about the parts of a landscape and artist tricks (techniques) for creating the illusion of depth to help you create your drawing. Have fun!Draw-Along

Video Lessons and More!
Below you will find several types of videos.
There are draw-along videos you can use to create a landscape of your own. Some go quickly. You may pause them as you need so you have time to draw.
There is an art video where you can learn about current artist, Jen Aranyi and her art. Then, you can create an artwork in her style.
