Due to Virtual learning our normal acrylic landscape paintings could not be done. So we switched to magazine collage, using the same idea in creating a landscape showing, background, middle ground and foreground.

THE PLAN
1. SWBAT define and recognize foreground, middle ground and background.
2. SWBAT define and describe what a collage is
1. Magazine, newspapers, junk mail
2. Glue
3. Plain paper for backing
4. Scissors
1. Explanation of Landscape and examples of foreground, middle ground and background were shown
2. Students picked a landscape photo to work from. They had a choice of photos that were provided or they could pick one on their own. If they picked their own, the teacher had to approve it.
3. Once a photo is picked, students very loosely sketched and blocked out the placement and colors for their landscape.
4. Students then used the materials they gathered. They can rip, tear or cut their materials and use their choice of glue.
5. Students will work on the background first, then the middle ground, and finally the foreground. This helps to create a sense of depth as they layer from the back to the front of the piece.
6. This project spanned several 70 minute class periods.
7. Pictures of progress were sent along the way and advice was given virtually.
Students will be assessed based on the attached rubric
This was a great project to do virtually. Not many supplies are needed but I did have to tell my students way in advance to gather a magazine or catalogues to cut up. Many said they don't have them around the house. I offered alternatives like junk mail, advertisements, colorful newspapers, food wrappers. If this was done in the classroom I would have provided the magazines.
