Lesson details
Key learning points
- Landscapes offer a diverse array of colours, textures, and forms that inspire artists.
- Working in 3D allows artists to play with scale and perspective, creating immersive environments that engage viewers.
- Artists often reflect on historical events or changes in landscapes over time, their work can engage with deeper themes.
Keywords
Landscape - all the visible features of an area of land, often considered in terms of their visual appeal

Common misconception
Architecture is just about making buildings look nice, not about solving problems or reflecting culture.
Architecture is about much more than appearance. It solves practical problems like shelter and space, and reflects cultural values, history, and how people live.
