This Autumn Landscape Collage was painted by Elmer Avenue first grader Madison Maggs. 

Throughout this project, the first graders were learning about foreground, middle ground, background and how to make things in their landscape look closer or farther away.

The students looked at many different landscapes for reference and practiced tearing their paper instead of cutting.  Art teacher Robyn Cross  talked with them about overlapping, various kinds of lines, sizes and they did an experiment that proved that something looks smaller when it is farther away.
