Ask questions and let your kiddos have a discussion about what they see without having definite right or wrong answers. The examples above are great conversations starters. I ntroduce the vocabulary and discuss the concept of creating the illusion of space by using a distinct foreground, middleground, and background. Talking about how great artists use space within a landscape… The middleground is the space naturally occurring between the foreground and the background. Because items in the background are meant to appear farther away they are much smaller in size, duller in color, and contain less detail than objects that are close to the viewer. It gives some context to the scene, where it might be taking place. The background of a scene is the furthest away. Because this part of the scene is closest to the viewer the objects appear to be larger. The foreground of a landscape is generally closer to the bottom of the composition, although that isn’t always the case. The foreground, middleground, and background divide the landscape into different planes that the artist uses to create a sense of depth. They are evident in both still lifes and landscapes but for our purposes we’re going to stick with landscapes.

Teaching the concept of creating space in an artwork through the use of foreground, middleground, and background while working on a flat piece of paper can be tricky to say the least.
