Foreground, middle ground and background Art: Year 2
We will be learning about 3 words we use in art; foreground, middle ground and background. In this painting can you guess which arrows are pointing to the foreground, middle ground and background?
Background: This mountain rock is furthest away from us in the painting. Middle ground: The tree is in- between the mountain rock and the river so it is in the middle ground. Foreground: The river is the closest part of the painting to us.
The road at the bottom of the drawing is closest to us so it is in the foreground. The houses at the top of the drawing are smaller and show they are further away so they are in the background. The blue car is in- between the small houses at the top of the drawing and the road that is closest to us, so it is in the middle ground. The text is all jumbled up! Can you help put them into the correct order?
These 3 parts help to give a painting or drawing DEPTH which means they help to make what is in a painting, drawing or photograph look bigger, longer or further-away than it actually on paper/canvas/photograph! This is the picture I drew of the view outside my bedroom window. Now it s your turn to create a picture using what you have learnt about foreground, middle ground and background. You will need paper and you can use; pencils, pens, felt-tips or crayons for your drawing.
