What is in the Foreground? Background? Middleground?
Where is the horizon line?
You are so smart!
We will make our own!
1. Start with a horizon line! Anything on the
horizon line is the background.
2. Next add one or two hills or fields as the middleground.
3. Whatever is left is your foreground.
4. Add lines for crops in your middleground and foreground. Add a few extra details to your foreground. Plants, grass pumpkins…We will be adding a scarecrow to the foreground soon!
We are going to add a scarecrow to the foreground of our picture.

Is a scarecrow art?
What is a scarecrows job?
