Referencing Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa", students learned the many ways items visually change as they move farther away from us. Students created their own landscapes titled "View from my Window" by drawing a series of rolling hills on canvas and painting them with a base acrylic color, adding white to tint the color as the hills move farther away and black to shade the closest hill. Nice work everyone!
