EI Landscapes, inspired by Grant Wood!

Here are the results of EI student's first big art project of the new school year!  We learned about Grant Wood, an artist who grew up in Iowa.  Grant painted landscapes that reflected the mid-west region that he lived in.  Since Wisconsin is part of the same region, students could relate the paintings to what we see when we leave Eau Claire and travel throughout the farmland that surrounds our community.  Students focused on creating a sense of deep space in their landscapes and considered a color scheme based on the time of day and season they wanted to depict.  Enjoy!
