The Vancouver Art Gallery and our art inspired by First Nations art techniques

Division 1 spent last Wednesday at the Vancouver Art Gallery learning about First Nations arts and culture. They learned how to craft specific symbols and shapes to put on their art creatures. They used the U-shape, ovoid and other interesting shapes to replicate professional first nations art. They created beavers, bears, wolves, hummingbirds and other animals through their imagination and creativity. They were interested in learning about First Nations people, and were very enthusiastic to draw the animals and explore the wonderful shapes and colours.
