6-year-old thoughts: Today mommy told me about different types of art. We discussed portrait (a picture of a person), landscape (a picture of a place), still life (a picture of stuff), and illustration (a picture to tell a story). We looked at lots of different types of art.

I especially liked a landscape painting on a canvas with orange sunset in the background with lots of autumn trees by a stream or river. The picture was called “Twilight in the Wilderness” and it was painted by Frederick Church in 1860 . So today mommy has asked me to see which slides look more like a landscape.

I have been thinking and feel my breakfast slides are the best, because they have lots of layers like a landscape does. Click here for a link to the original post with slides.

I am using black pencil only because if I used color your eyes would be drawn to the color: so you would not look at what the picture is trying to tell you about landscapes.

Mommy took a picture of me working:

Here are my drawings of my breakfast slides.

The first is milk, the second apple skin, the third apple flesh:
