We begin our landscape paintings in 4th grade

The last two paintings have prepared us to create a painting in which various skills could be combined. In this painting children are expected to know about mixing colors. They are given 3 primaries, black and white and they are to use their knowledge about colors, tints and shades to render their landscapes. In addition, children are expected to work within the process which they have been learning about the past 3 weeks. They begin their painting with large areas of color. Details such as trees, homes, people will be added in the end with smaller, using detail brushes.

Children are shown how to use a palette to pre-mix their colors before using them.
