Plateaus, Valleys, Volcanoes, Oh My!

Landforms were the focus unit in grade 2, 
artist Ted Harrison was our art connection and inspiration! 

Landscape painter Ted Harrison was inspired by his beloved Yukon to create colorful abstract landscapes. Second graders explored all the landforms visible in Ted Harrison's landscapes, discussed the northern lights that he often pays tribute to in his skies, and also the way he uses many values of a color and analogous colors next to each other. 
Ted Harrison's "Walking Alone" 

A selection of student work inspired by Mr. Harrison's landform landscapes
...And our new display! 
Thanks to "Colors of My Day" blogger for the inspiration for this lesson!
