AS A CLASS: UNDERSTANDING the Basics of Landscapes:
- DO THIS: Google search large image " ________ in a ______ field" or " ________ in a river"
Example: "Horse in a flower field" or "Woman fishing in a river"
- DO THIS: Roxy open thats Image in Photoshop on Screen
The foreground, middle ground, and background in a composition are generally divided into three planes. The foreground of a composition is the visual plane that appears closest to the viewer, while the background is the plane in a composition perceived furthest from the viewer. The middle ground is the visual plane located between both the foreground and background. The scale of these components often correlates to the dominance in an image. The foreground is often the most dominant due to the larger perceived scale of the images objects. This is not always the case, however, as definition and other factors can shift the dominance of the composition.
Visually, we often refer to the scale of one object to another. As objects come forward in space, towards the viewer, they appear larger. As they recede into the background, their scale gets perceptually smaller.

STEPS for this project:
- Refine Edges Appropriately (contrast vs feather vs radius vs smooth)
- Scale/transform each selection (Ctrl + t + shift) to fit proportionately (foreground, middle-ground, or background size) into a BELIEVABLE landscape.
- Save AS Landscape project (photoshop document format)
- SAVE AS Landscape Project Finished (PSD & JPEG when you are completely finsihed)
