Norval Morrisseau Artwork

On Friday we ended our week with a special activity. Mrs. Kulyk helped us to create artwork inspired by Aboriginal artist Norval Morrisseau. The students selected a Manitoba animal for their piece. They drew a practice sketch in pencil and then received a watercolour paper to draw their animal. The animals were outlined in black marker and then painted using acrylic paint. After the pictures dried students touched up their work with black marker. The results are terrific. You can see them here on Artsonia.

This artwork is part of our AAA project this year. We will be writing letters to northern schools and sharing our artwork with them.
