Hint #7 - Some Artists Paint the Things Around Them They Think Are Important

Addison Taking Her Time With a Farming Landscape

On Wednesday we drew pictures of tractors with Mrs. Jochem in Art class.  We see a lot of tractors in our area and we decided that they were important because they make the farmer's job much easier.  The American artist, Grant Wood liked to draw the things around him that he thought were important.  We read Grant Wood, The Artist in the Hayloft yesterday and saw that he painted a lot of farming landscapes.  Today we tried our hand at landscapes, using repeating patterns for the field.  

We watched this short video in class today.  The students especially enjoyed the end, so I told them I would post it on our blog.
