I found this piece of mat board on its way to the trash* in my classroom. It was almost a finished piece without my adding to it. When I looked at it, I saw a beach landscape. I just added the details to create a house from the indications of one that I already saw there.
As I tell my students, we have to see before we can create. This is a perfect example of that.
I added the graphite, the white acrylic paint, and that one white stripe on the sand.
*Honestly, some of our students don't seem to have clue as to what they are throwing away.
