Monochromatic Landscapes

 Today we learned about monochromatic landscape paintings.
We learned how to mix colors with paints.
We created tints and shades by mixing white and black paint with the color (hue) of our choice.

We also were able to meet with the principal, Mr. Blomquist, and he showed us the color palette sample for the new school!  We saw how our new school has tints and shades of blue and brown. 
 We began our landscape drawings on a canvas board.
Objects that appear farther away are lighter in color and objects that appear in the
foreground are darker in color.
 We worked with acrylic paint on the canvas boards to create this large scale work of art!   We will be finishing these projects next Monday.
