What inspires you?

We talked about where artists get their inspiration before working on the seashell landscapes. To continue with this concept, the Rowe artists came up with their own inspiration and created a piece of art, focusing on a balanced composition and the use of a horizon line.

Seashell Landscapes

We started this lesson by talking about where artists find Inspiration. We talked about how living in Maine and especially in Yarmouth, we are near the ocean. A fun summertime activity, that many of us do, is walking on the beach and collecting shells, we used this as our inspiration.

We used pencils, then, sharpies to make our lines stand out, oil pastels and tempera cakes to finish off the Seashell landscapes.
