Canadian Landscape

When students learn about the famous Group of Seven, they get a chance to see how Canadian artists celebrated the beauty of their own country.

These painters were inspired by the forests, lakes, and rugged landscapes of Canada, and they worked in bold, colorful styles that make nature feel alive on the canvas.

You’ll also find that learning about the Group of Seven sparks creativity in your classroom. Their style is easy for students to experiment with — broad brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and simplified shapes make landscapes feel approachable instead of intimidating. When students try painting in a similar way, they not only practice new techniques but also see how art can express pride in a place and culture.
