The Lesson: Students viewed famous landscape paintings depicting various types of weather conditions while discussing how visual art and design can be used to remember and document personal stories and feelings, using "weather words." Each student then created their own landscape drawing depicting their favorite kind of weather, accompanied by a voice recoding discussing the stories portrayed in their personal work of art.

Lesson Objectives: Students can discuss the stories portrayed in a personal work of art (Visual Arts - 2020 Colorado Academic Standards, 2020).
