Framing Art/ An Art Museum

Frame It!

Today we are going to make a frame for our painted landscape.

Picture frames have been around for more than 3,000 years. A picture frame is a decorative edging for around a picture.  Framing your art is a good way to show off your pictures, and a good way to protect your pictures.

FRAMES!

FRAME YOUR LANDSCAPE :)

The Starry Night, Vincent Van Gogh

Ploughed Cornfield, Edvard Munch 

Envision:
Close your eyes and imagine an outdoor space that means something to you. It could be a farm, woods, or park. It may be an outdoor space that you've seen on vacation or when you visit your relatives. 
Think of all of the details you can remember about a typical day at this place, such as the season, the weather, the time of day, the kind of trees, flowers, hills, mountains, and grass. Imagine what was nearby. 

Drawing:
Draw a landscape on a 9x12 paper with Sharpie.

What kind of landscape did you make?
Why did you choose the landscape that you painted?
