Farmyard

With spring just around the corner, it's time for farms, grass and baby animals! We began this project reading a book and drew the different parts of the farmyard with oil pastels.  We learned that landscapes have three parts to them: background, middleground and foreground.

After drawing in hills, sun, clouds and trees, the background was painted in.

Today first graders drew barns and silos after looking at examples. They got to choose how to color them in. 

After the coloring was finished, students cut and glued them onto their backgrounds.

This week the students finished up their Farmyards. They added a frame, a fence and animals. 

I think they turned out great!
