Where does the term Landscape come from?

# data[].attributes.body
The term "landscape" actually comes from the Dutch word landschap, which originally meant "region, tract of land" but acquired the artistic connotation, "a picture depicting scenery on land" in the early 1500s.

# data[].attributes.body
The Greeks and Romans created wall paintings of landscapes and gardenscapes.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometime after the fall of the Roman Empire on September 4, 476 AD, the tradition of depicting pure landscapes declined, and the landscape was seen only as a setting for religious and figural scenes.

In the early 1400s, the Italian architect Filippo Brunelleschi reintroduced a means of showing the recession of space on a flat plane, called linear perspective. In Brunelleschi's technique, lines appear to converge at a single fixed point in the distance. 1 point perspective

Landscapes begin to reemerge due to an increased interest in the natural world. The landscape is still however, the supporting background to portraits.

The success of the book "Eléments de perspective practique" written by Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes, pushed the Academy to create a prize for "historic landscape" in 1817.

# data[].attributes.body
Artists became less concerned with idealized, classical landscapes and began focusing more on painting out-of-doors directly from nature—a practice known as Plein air painting.

Post Impressionism, brushstrokes & color

# data[].attributes.body
Along with Plein air, new interest in light and color inspired many of the Post-Impressionist artists. Incorporating various symbols, and the influence of cultures from Central & South Pacific islands, the new paintings became arenas for change and experimentation.

With as many Art movements that are out there now, artists have applied the subject of the landscape to their own personal style. This is a Hyperrealist landscape.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Push the color beyond what is realistic or expected.

# data[].attributes.body
2. Pull out patterns, lines, shapes, and texture. Try stylizing & repeating things.

# data[].attributes.body
3. Blur the lines, merge shapes and objects.

4. Focus in on the details and find ways to emphasize them.

Using 5 photographs of landscapes as photo references, create an abstract painting with acrylic paint.

Create 5 different sketches, each focusing on the Composition Column #5 - choose a different composition for each of your sketches. Make sure you have a focal point!

Consider what a “landscape” is, does it have to be natural or can it be man-made?

Could something display the sense of a “landscape” without literally being one?

You must mix your own colors.

Using primary colors and black and white create all the other colors you need.

# data[].attributes.body
Choose 5 photographs that you will be abstracting and post them under your name in the Turn in tab

Complete thumbnail sketches, 1 per photo - EACH abstracting technique needs a sketch. Post your 5 sketches to your Turn in tab

After all 5 thumbnail sketches are posted, choose which thumbnail you want to use.

Start filling in your image with paint, remember you must create your own colors using primary colors.

Start off working background to foreground, then don’t be afraid to jump around to add in your details.

# data[].attributes.body
Keep building up your color and touching up  your images as needed.

Knowing when you are finished. Sometimes that is the hardest part.

What is a part? If you see the instructions: Use 3 parts of yellow paint to 1 part of red paint. Ratio is the number of parts to a mix. For example, the paint mix is 4 parts, with 3 parts yellow and 1 part red.

Use only two to three colors in a mixture

Use only two to three colors in a mixture

# data[].attributes.body
When working on a single paint mixture, try to stick to a maximum of three colors as much as possible, but don't worry that's not counting the whites of course. Mixing too many different colors together can result into a muddied, dull and lifeless hue. It is more advisable to use as fewer colors as you possibly can, especially when it comes to working with dark colors. And remember to gradually add in small amounts so you can easily control the levels of tint, shade or tone of your mixture.

Colour mixing basics - Acrylic painting technique to match a colour

# data[].attributes.body
Not only does the black and white affect the 'in & out' direction of the colors mixed, when another color on the color wheel is added the new color will swing either left or right on the wheel and take on an aspect of the new color, depending on how large of a part of the ratio it has.

Example: I add 3 parts white to my 1 part yellow. It is now 3 steps closer to the center. If I then add 1 part blue, it will swing to the green, maybe 2 steps closer to the center, since more white isn't added. If I continue to add more blue, not only will it swing closer to the blue, but the new color will move closer to the middle of this color wheel since the ratio of white does not change and becomes a smaller part of the ratio.

Materials to experiment with your Collage

# data[].attributes.body
Newspaper - underneath the paint - paint glaze over for visual interest

Construction paper - underneath the paint - drybrush over this  with some wrinkling for great effects

Paper towel - underneath the paint for texture

Pastel - go on last as water would dissolve the pigment

Oil pastel - this would go on last, you cannot paint acrylics over oil.

Charcoal - You would also want to do this last so you don't loose the smudging or details

Sharpies - may bleed if painted over
