Landscape Lines

Objectives: 

I can create a landscape that shows a horizon line and sections of foreground, middle ground, and background.

I can separate my landscape into distinct areas to add variety and organization.

I can apply at least five different types of lines (zigzag, wavy, curved, spiral, dashed, etc.) within their sections.

I can use color to unify and enrich their design, making choices that support contrast and visual interest.

I can use line and color to show mood, movement, or energy in their artwork.

I canl evaluate how different types of lines change the feeling of an artwork and share observations with peers.
