Art II Landscape PaintingPart II
Color theory, painting, and narratives (telling a story visually)
& Returning to the landscape
By looking at art history and artists who have used the landscape as their subject matter, we will continue our exploration into creating landscape
How do artists “see” the natural landscape?
How do they convey what they “see” onto the canvas?
What do you notice about each of these artists’ representation of the
landscape?

Painting Examples of Landscapes
Brainstorming….Collect imagery, ideas, and places ….You will commit to a contract of subject matter, narratives and color theory but otherwise you have a lot of freedom with this project. Your experiences in Art I & II have helped you think before you paint. Look through books, find landscapes that interest you or you have visited. Devise your rough draft on 12 X 18 drawing paper.

Monochromatic LandscapeDevise a city scape line or mountain top line stencilCut it out & trace it 4-5 times on paper. Turn the stencil over to change flow of line. Starting with local color, fill in the bottom shape, gradually add white to lighten the landscape. The background should be the lightest tint of the color you chose, NOT WHITE! 8 X 10 Tag Board
