Presentation Transcript


  1. Mary Wallace • Canadian Artist from Nunavut • Specializes in painintgs for children’s books • Focuses on Inuksuks contrasting surreal landscapes • Intertwines bold colours and shadows

  2. Ted Harrison • Born in England • Lives in Victoria, BC • Specializes in Canadian landscapes that use bold, contrasting colours – especially of the yukon • He specializes in Serigraph prints

  3. A Fusion of Artists • We are fusing the artistic styles of Mary Wallace and Ted Harrison • We will create bright colourful landscapes where the ice is reflecting colours of the sun, just like Ted Harrison’s landscape paintings • We will then impose a hand-made Inuksuk over top of our vivid backgrounds to juxtapose the beauty of the arctic, just like Mary Wallace’s paintings • The end result will be individual paintings that create new concepts of arctic landscapes

  4. The Materials • Black construction paper • Cardstock/thick white paper for pain • Scissors • Elmer’s glue – any white liquid glue • Pencils for sketching • Water paint

  5. Instructions • First, we need to sketch in pencil our background • Focus on separating the colours and imagining either the ‘Northern Lights’ or sunsets – these are beautiful for when ice reflects the colours • Next, cover the pencil lines with white liquid glue • After the glue has dried, we will be using paint (water colouror blocks) to fill in the sections • While our painting is drying, we will cut out our Inukshuk’s out of black construction paper • After the painting has dried, we will glue our Inuksuk onto the painting

  6. Cross Curricular • Links to grade four social studies: Northern Canada • Links to Science: • Focus on ROYGBIV and as many colours that come from that spectrum • Focus on reflection of light of of surfaces (sunsets, blue skies, Northern Light, mountains, etc.) • Climates and weather patterns represented in our artwork • Geology – Rock formations and human manipulation of earth
