Today we had Anishinaabe artist (and friend) Elaine McIntosh back to visit! Our class got to know her last year from our work with Project Of Heart. We were very lucky to have her back today! We got to do a really fun art project with her!
Elaine drew a huge picture that illustrates the Anishinabe Creation story and the Tree of Life onto a big piece of plywood. Then she cut it up into individual tiles. We each got a tile to paint with acrylic paints. We had no idea what part of the picture we got! After they finish drying, Elaine will put the pieces back together in the proper order and frame it! It will be a piece that we will hang permanently in the entrance of Heritage School!
We cannot wait until we get to see the finished product!
Thanks again Elaine!
Painting in progress...
Here are the tiles, drying in the lab!
Stay tuned for photos of the finished product!
