Space in Art

Two Bits made a worksheet on space in art. You should start by checking it out. It will explain a lot of the things that are coming up next.

Now that you understand background, middle ground and foreground, you can create an art piece incorporating space into a composition.

On a large piece of paper in watercolor, make the environment that an American Quarter Horse would live in. Some examples are a race track, a barn, a pasture, etc.

When that has dried you can design the middle ground.  From some sort of paper, cut out objects that will be glued onto the background. For example, a fence or a tree.

Crazy about horses? Test your knowledge with AQHA’s Junior Master Horseman program. You can even earn certificates!

Now for the foreground, with crayons, markers or colored pencils, color an American Quarter Horse that Two Bits has provided. Cut this out and it can be glued to your paper as well. Don’t be afraid to overlap your middle ground somewhat. As a matter of fact, you should! This will provide your picture with space.

Now you can sit back and admire your new piece of artwork!

Don’t forget to register for Nights at the Museums soon!  There will be tons of fun activities just like this one!
