Florida

The Students will learn what a landscape is and the 3 different areas in “space”(foreground, midground & background). They will paint their own landscape inspired by the Florida 'highwaymen” paintings. Students will also learn about the Afro-American group of artists from Florida that used to sell their paintings on the Florida highways during segregation time. This lesson will relate to the civics benchmark because students will learn that the Constitution is how the U.S. Government protects the liberty and equal rights of the American citizens. Students will learn that the U.S. made changes to the Constitution to make it better and to protect all citizens' rights.
