• They learned about different art techniques such as shading, perspective, and color mixing, which they applied to their landscape.
• The child explored the use of different art materials, such as pencils, paints, and brushes, to create textures and details in their landscape.
• They learned about the elements of art and how to use them effectively in their landscape, such as line, shape, form, and space.

For continued development, the child can experiment with different landscape styles, such as abstract or impressionistic, using various mediums like pastels or collage. They can also explore different subjects within landscape art, such as urban or natural landscapes, and further develop their skills in creating depth and atmosphere in their artwork. Encouraging the child to explore different artists known for their landscape paintings and studying their techniques can also inspire further growth in their own artwork.
