Ted Harrison Inspired Landscapes

Grade 3 Art: Week 1 (October 26-30)

This project will take 3 weeks to complete!

This week we will be learning about a Canadian artist named Ted Harrison. Here is a short video about the artist.

Materials needed for this week:

• Large white paper
• Pencil & eraser

Activity:

1. Begin with a horizon line. That is a line that breaks the picture up into land and sky. It should go all the way across your paper.

2. Draw jagged line shapes coming out from the sides of your paper that end in a point. They should be flat on the bottom and point in toward the center of the page.These will be icebergs or hills of snow.

3. Draw jagged mountain shapes in the background on top of the horizon line.

4. Draw a circle for a moon or sun in your “sky”.

5. Make long wavy shapes around the sun or moon that stretch across the sky.

6. Draw a simple house with a rectangle door and square windows. If you want to, draw a chimney with a little swirl of smoke into the sky. Erase any “overlapping lines”.

Put your work in a safe place for next week!
