For this project we listened to the book Oh, The Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss, and we viewed different imaginary creatures that Seuss created in many of his books. Then, we got to create our own imaginary creature, and first drew it out on paper. We learned about foreground, middleground, and background, and we created a scene by adding or drawing items in each of the distances. Lastly, we got to create our drawn creature out of Play-Doh, and added them to the scene.
An example of an extension activity could be to have the students choose a type of landscape, such as desert or tundra, and create a landscape using different colored construction paper. They would focus on foreground, middleground, and background, and have different aspects and characteristics of that landscape in each distance. This is great for teaching students what different landscapes look like and their main characteristics.
