This art lesson is easy, beautiful & stress free! Create stunning landscapes inspired by Etel Adnan!

With just 3 lines you can create endless landscapes, and this tutorial shows you how.
Inspiration:
Etel Adnan (1925 - 2021) was an important Lebanese American artist and poet, know for her vibrant abstract paintings made from blocks of bold colours. These would often resemble landscapes and are a great way to get students to think about landscape art, composition and colour theory.
You can find more about her here:

The lesson:
For this art lesson you don't need lots of planning time or materials. Once your class has drawn their three lines , you just need to add a bit of colour. Use whatever you have for this, but i would recommend:
Colour pens,
Colour pencils,
Oil Pastels,
Paint,
Tissue paper
Enjoy it!
Thanks,
John
