As a group, students discussed and brainstormed what family meant to them. Students came up with a broad array of answers. For example, "people who we live with", "people who care about us", and even "pets."
After our discussion, we talked about the landscape that their family will be standing in. A landscape is similar to a scene, it is the area around people or objects. Students recalled past knowledge about horizon lines to. A horizon line is the part of the landscape where the sky and the ground meet. Students also recalled how objects in the background seem smaller in a landscape. Objects in the foreground, or front are the largest in landscapes.
After drawing in pencil and then tracing in sharpie, students mixed water, yellow, red, and brown to create skin tones. To create different values of skin tones students would mix and test different combinations of these three colors plus water.
