<< Be Inspired by other Painting Landscape Projects<<
AccessArt is compiling visual lists of artists, designer and makers who schools might like to use as sources of inspiration in the classroom.
In this pathway, for ages 9 to 16, we explore artists who paint natural landscapes. Use their work as the basis for conversation in the classroom.
Continue your exploration by using the AccessArt resources below to enable your class to create their own paintings of landscapes #InspiredBy artists.
