Here are two of his paintings called
Dogfish and Jade Canoe. The
Dogfish was made in 1973 and
some of its elements are lines,
colour and shape. For this painting
he used paint and paper. The main
idea of this painting is the dogfish
itself. The painting makes me feel
happy because it is so pretty and
the colours go well together. His
next painting is called the Jade
Canoe. It is right now placed in the
YVR airport and it was made in
1988.The elements of art are
colour, lines, form, shape, texture
and space. To make this he used
jade paint and clay to sculpt it. It is
supposed to represent a group of
animals traveling in a canoe. If you
look closely you can see far more
creatures then you first thought.
This painting feels mysterious like
it is full of treasures.

Ted Harrisons painting
‘The Whales of Monterey School’
was made in the 1970’s. It uses
colour, lines, form, space and
shape. He used canvas and paints
to make this painting. The subject
of this painting is the whales
swimming in the Yukon because it
is the biggest part of the painting.
This painting makes me feel sad
because of the blues and purples.
His next painting is called
‘Lakeside Ravens’, also made in the
1970’s. It has colour, lines, form,
space and shape. He used canvas as
his paper and paint for the picture.
The subject is the people watching
the ravens going into flight. This
makes me feel happy and calm
because nothing seems to be sad or
troubled.
5. Michael Tickner
The Mountains Watch the City
Rise: was made in 2013. It has
lines, colour, form, shape, value
and space. He used paints to
make the picture. The picture is
about morning and how the
mountains of Vancouver watch
the city and all the people awake.
This painting makes me feel
hopeful because it makes you
think the mountains watch over
us.
Over the Islands: was made in
2012. It has lines, colour, form,
shape, value and space. He, like
the last one, used paints. The
painting is supposed to be about
the many islands between
Vancouver and Vancouver island.
This painting makes me feel nice
because it’s a bright sunny day
with calm and peaceful waters.
