Why Ted Harrison is Perfect for Inspiring Young Artists

Another famous and beloved Canadian artist is Ted Harrison famous for his rather bright and exotic depictions of the north. Children will surely love his art because his works are characterized by creation’s simple use of primary colors and light humor on the things represented in nature. Introducing students to Ted Harrison and his work in art class is not just painting; it is about empowering them to express themselves and design the most beautiful and attractive artwork one could imagine for any classroom.

With Ted Harrison’s art in the classroom, teachers can make students aware of the general concepts like the colour and compositions and perspectives and the likes easy and enjoyable.

Here is a brief of what is taught in this class where we start with the simplest topic on light and shadow. For any artist, it is important to understand how light falls on an object. I explained it simply by drawing with basic shapes that show how to achieve depth by using highlighting and shading then use it to show that flat objects can be given the look of depth. In this way they were able to be amazed with a little shade which makes their illustrations come alive!

Using oi pastels was fun while disseminating key aspects of learning oil pastels. It’s interesting to note that my students’ energy and creativity had the same effect on me as it probably would to step out of the classroom right after the lesson. The fun as well as learning would continue in our next art session, where more of these will be learnt and developed by all of us.

In need of an exciting and informative program for your children? Try to enroll them with oil pastels if you haven’t done that earlier. It is a travel filled with the aura of the creativity, vividness and free space!
