A straightforward way of demonstrating how artists use overlapping via foreground, middle ground, and background to create space and perspective in two-dimensional artworks. Best suited for elementary and middle school students, this presentation utilizes illustrations, photographs, and paintings to identify and define foreground, middle ground, and background.
This is a math and visual-arts integrated project. Using their knowledge of fractions, students create a Mondrian-inspired artwork. Students attach their artwork to a Makey Makey controller, and play a game on Scratch about fractions using their artwork.
