Students discovered that lighthouses are popular subjects for painters. Reinforcing their knowledge of lighthouses from their third grade lighthouse unit, students learned how colors and patterns on lighthouses can help them stand out in the day time.
   Students also learned about the terms background, middle ground, and foreground and how they are used visually. Using their imaginations, students created their own lighthouse scenes from paint, paper, and glue. All of their scenes do incorporate backgrounds, middle grounds, and foregrounds. It was their choice of what to include in each. Can you tell which part is which? If you aren’t sure, ask a third graderJ
