We began this lesson by looking at the artwork of artist Ted Harrison.  Harrison created vibrant, colorful landscapes.  We discussed mostly color and the horizon line.  Harrison uses different color blocks to break up space and gives it a sort of whimsical or mysterious quality.

This was a 3-day project.  The first day was spent looking at and discussing Harrison's work as well as drawing the lines on their paper with pencil.  Students started with the horizon line and added more lines to separate the space.  Students had to decide if they wanted to draw a forest, a desert, ocean, etc.  One class did this project on white paper, the other on black.  
The second and third classes were spent using chalk pastels to really fill in the space with vivid color.  They were urged to push hard with the pastel and take their time getting the color nice and bright.  Most students enjoyed the pastels and got very messy.  Others (like myself) really disliked the feeling of the chalk pastels on their skin.  I allowed those students to use oil pastels instead.
This was a pretty quick project that overall the students enjoyed.  It was definitely the most messy project we've done so far this year!
