It is all about the landscape. Landscapes are pictures of natural scenery or a picture of the outdoors. Most landscapes have deep space and you can see for miles into the picture. Students are learning about the foreground, middleground, and farground in a landscape painting. Check out your child's notebook for the notes.
Vincent van Gogh and his Starry Night are famous. Check out the links below to learn more.

Weaving is created by the interlocking of two yarns, or threads, and other materials at right angles. To make a weaving, get a loom, put the warp threads on the loom, weave the weft over and under the warp on the loom, connect the yarns under the middle warp when adding new yarns or changing colors. Finally finish the weaving by taking the weaving off the loom.
