Vermont Artist: Sabra Field

As part of our Vermont Artist unit, fifth and sixth grade artists studied printmaker Sabra Field.  Field lives near Middlebury, Vermont and has become well-known for her simple, peaceful, colorful prints of the Vermont landscape.  We looked at many examples of Field's work and discussed common themes and stylistic elements.  Students noticed that many of Field's pictures show the sky fading from light to dark and mountains fading as they recede into the distance.  Look for this in the students' work.

Here are a few examples of Sabra Field's Vermont landscapes:
