For this landscape project, we learned about perspective. When something is far away from us, it can often seem much smaller that it would if it was close to us. We kept that in mind as we drew our architecture and landscape.
Then, we used texture rubbing plates to create the illusion of texture on our buildings. This kind of texture is called implied texture.
Texture is all around us. It is the way something feels. Texture is important because it can show us how something feels before we touch it. Texture can even help protect us because if we are able to use visual clues to see the different textures of porcupines and bunny rabbits, for example, we will know which one we'd rather pet.
Once our textured buildings, trees, and plants were complete, we cut them out and glued them to layered paper to create a collage.
