Second graders looked at examples of New England and Hudson River School paintings from the 19th and early 20th centuries to discuss foreground, middleground, and background. Using masking tape, students planted trees on their paper, then used watercolor to put in sky and earth, creating a horizon line. After removing the tape, students used colored pencils to ground their trees with roots, detail the textures of the trunk, and add some woodland details.
