Definition: A portion of land or territory which the eye can comprehend in a single view, including all the objects it contains.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “landscapes,” and it’s a lovely one to explore. The dictionary gives us a good definition – "A portion of land or territory which the eye can comprehend in a single view, including all the objects it contains." Let's break that down with a little rhyme, you see: “Landscapes are scenes, for you and me, A whole world viewed, visually free! It’s not just dirt, or rocks, or trees, But everything there – if you please!” Think of it like this: When you look out the window on a beautiful day, what do you see? Maybe rolling hills, a sparkling lake, a forest deep and wide. All those things together—the grass, the water, the trees, maybe even a little farmhouse in the distance – that’s a landscape! It's about how much of the land you can take in with one glance. It’s not just a single tree or a small patch of field. It’s the whole picture, the overall scene. Does that make sense? Are there any questions about what makes up a 'landscape'? Don't be shy – raise your hand if you need me to explain it another way!
