For this project, we took a look at "The Starry Night" done by Vincent Van Gogh. More importantly, we looked the concepts of foreground, middle ground, and background. For the background, we glued different colors of tissue paper onto a dark-colored sheet of construction paper. Once the tissue paper had dried, we then used oil pastels to draw bold lines and shapes onto the background. We finally created the foreground by drawing the silhouette of a landscape that we glued onto the background.
For an extension activity, students could research and find different real world images and examples in which foreground, middle ground, and background are apparent. They could then write a brief reflection on what aspects of each picture are located in each level of perspective.
