Objective:

To analyze the relationship between art and the environment.

Materials:

Paper, pencil, tempera, paintbrushes, pieces of wood, textured paper, cardboard.

Project:

  1. The students analyze colors they see in the landscape.
  2. Each one paints the different tones he/she observes: in the sky, on the ground, in the fields or mountains.

  4. Pieces of painted wood are then glued onto the box.
  5. The resulting sculptures are then drawn from different perspectives, elevations, showing the importance of perspective in sculpture.
  6. The drawings from different perspectives are placed next to each other. This represents the sculpture's physical translation from three to two dimensions.
  7. Textures representing the environment, both simulated and real, are then added to the drawings: grass, string, stone…
