This week we completed a Ted Harrison inspired art piece during Social Studies. For these art pieces, we found landscape pictures of our regions we are studying online, printed them and glued them in our Thought Journals. We sketched the horizon lines of our landscape pictures and then we added colour in the unique style of Ted Harrison. The image on the right shows an example of what this artistic style looks like.
