A+Portrait+of+Confederation

A Portrait of Confederation The link below will take you to an explanation of the history behind this photo. Please consider the importance of Robert Harris' commemorative painting of the Fathers of Confederation. Not all of these men were together at this meeting in Quebec. Does Harris' creative license give him the right to represent all of the important figures in the room or should he have only painted those who attended the conference that day? Can you identify the main contributors you have already learned about? How does Harris place emphasis on these men within his painting? Use these questions to help you understand the reading and artwork.
