C. PRESENTATION

Landscape is a painting, drawing, or other depiction of natural scenery such as

mountain, fields or forests. Although figures and manmade objects may be
included in a landscape, they are of secondary importance to the composition and
incidental to the content.

A landscape art has parts, the foreground, middle ground, background and the
horizon line.

Foreground is the part that appears closest to the viewer and usually positioned
at the bottom of the artwork. The objects in this part appear larger relatively to the
objects at the middle ground and background.
Middle Ground is the part between the foreground and background
Background is the part that appears to be farthest from the viewer. The objects in
this part appear relatively smaller to the objects at the foreground and middle
ground.
The Horizon Line is the line where sky meets the earth or land.

In landscape art, there is also overlapping, the placement in a composition of one

object in front of another in order to create the illusion of depth
Size changed

Overlapping

Background
Middle ground
Foreground
More details are being shown in the foreground than the middle ground and
background and the color in the foreground is more saturated than the background.

Examples

D. APPLICATION

Class is divided into groups with 5 members each. Each group will receive

supposedly in the landscape photo. The learners will paste the cut-out objects
appropriately basing on the proportion and contrast and will label the parts
foreground, middle ground, background and horizon line.

E. GENERALIZATION

Teacher asks where the foreground, middle ground, background and the
horizon line in the photos viewed a while ago.
