To keep it, print it while it is open.
A landscape is made of different parts, such as hills, water, trees, fields and houses. To read it, you look at each part and say where it is: at the back, in the middle or at the front.
In the picture
- Relief: low hills far away, at the back of the landscape
- Water: a river winding through the middle
- Farmland: fields of crops growing beside the river
- Buildings: a village of houses built near the bridge
Examples
- From a car window, you can spot hills in the distance and fields close to the road.
- From the top of a tower, you can see where the houses, the park and the river are.
Key takeaways
- A landscape has natural parts, like hills, rivers and trees, and parts made by people, like fields and houses.
- Describe a landscape from the front to the back: foreground, middle ground, background.
