Mexican Yarn Landscapes





4th graders are working on their Mexican Yarn Landscapes. Our vocabulary words for this project are:




  • Perspective


  • Depth


  • Outline

  • Landscape


  • Visual Texture


  • Visual Movement


  • Line

We are also learning that there are six trick to create depth in our artwork:



  1. Overlapping

  2. Size


  3. Placement


  4. Detail


  5. Color


  6. Lines




First, students are to paint a landscape that they might find in Mexico. (We looked at pictures.) After it is dry, we then apply yarn with Elmer's glue around the shapes in our artwork. We fill our entire work of art with line. Students are to create visual movement in areas with large negative space. The results of these are amazing! Student made theirs better than mine!
