Common misconception
Landscapes are just pretty pictures of nature, there's not much meaning behind them.
While landscapes often show beautiful scenery, they can express powerful ideas, like climate change, migration, culture, or even identity. Artists use landscapes not just to show what they see, but to say something about how they feel or value.
Equipment
Access to the internet or a library of art books. Sketchbook or paper for recording ideas, pencils, pens.
