3rd Grade: Ted Harrison Landscape with Chalk Pastels
This is a beautiful project! First we studied Ted Harrison, Canadian artist....looked at his work...created a landscape using repeating lines, outlined our drawing in glue on black paper....added color with chalk. Easy and fun!
We do intro/sketch/drawing and tracing with glue in one 60 minute class....then the next 60 minute class I get them to choose sky or ground (warm or cool) to prevent "muddiness"...then the last 60 minutes class for the other half...this is a hard one to control on how fast the kids work...some get done REALLY early..then others barely finish!
Mightily impressive! I'm sure my yr 6's will have great fun doing this... (Once i get some scribbly glue)
ReplyDeleteWe used "Elmer's Gel Glue"....
ReplyDeleteElmer's Gel glue was hard to find.Only Michael's had it. It worked really well!
DeleteHi! Beautiful artwork! Can you tell me what type and size of paper that you used? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI believe it cut down to 12" x 14"...and it's black sulphite ..probably 80lb....i order it from blick.com
DeleteAnyone have issues with the Elmer's clear glue having a ton of bubbles??
ReplyDeleteHow long did this project take?

DeleteThese are great! I've been searching for a great way to use the chalk pastels!
