Woven Landscapes

Third grade students have created a landscape weaving for our Kids Art Fair December 13th.   We looked at Ted Harrison's landscapes (tedharrison.com/.)  We discussed the three parts of a landscape.  The background is the sky, the middle ground is the hills or mountains and the foreground is the subject in the front of the paper.   He broke the three parts of a landscape into multiple layers and showed values within each section.  The students painted a landscape.  The landscapes were then cut to create a weaving using small strips of paper.
