Kindergarten and first grade students looked at different types of landscapes and paid special attention to the style of Van Gogh's brush strokes. The first lesson involved painting different sections representing the foreground, middle ground and background. next they learned how to draw realistic looking trees using the letter "V" for the branching. After sketching them in chalk the trees were painted black to represent a silhouette. Students painted their trees two different sizes to show the scale difference when viewing something in the foreground versus the background. the final step was to add colorful dots and dashes to give each section texture and pattern.
