Dallas had a *very* short break from stormy weather this week, just in time for our Homeschool Class for Families. After exploring landscape paintings by Frederic Church and Thomas Cole in the galleries, the class went outside to create their own scenic drawings en plein air (in the open air), using the Dallas Arts District as their backdrop!
Thomas Cole, The Fountain at Vauclaus, oil on canvas, 1841, Dallas Museum of Art, gift of J.E.R. Chilton
What type of landscape masterpiece can you create using your own backyard as inspiration?
