The Integrated Arts

On Monday we were lucky enough to have our artist Mme Alexander come to our school to teach us about the Aboriginal Culture.  
 

Mme Alexander brought a lot of beautiful aboriginal artifacts, which she let us touch and explore.  Among the artifacts were dream catchers, sun catchers, furs, moccasins, mukluks, gourd rattles and many more interesting objects.

 



Mme Alexander came back Thursday to help us create a paper medicine wheel.

 
 
 

  On Thursday next week, we will be wrapping leather around a metal hoop.   We will be learning about what the traditional colours of the wheel signify (red, yellow, black and white.) We will be finishing our medicine wheels, using pony beads, pipe cleaners and feathers.
