This year the UMFA is highlighting three iconic landscape paintings by American artists Thomas Moran, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Alma Thomas on loan from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. These spectacular works take very different approaches to landscape painting, from nineteenth-century idealized naturalism to contemporary abstraction.

Let's explore these works and make a landscape collage inspired by them. To do this project you'll need:

A piece of paper or recycled cardboard box as the base of your collage.
Some colored paper. If you don’t have colored paper, you can use recycled boxes, food labels, and magazines.
Glue
Scissors
